    This is a horrible 2 yard line photo. I assume now that you don’t believe the Rockets will sign Melo because as we all know Malcom Butler intercepts in the end-zone.

    So with this picture, someone will snatch him away at the last second.

    I think as long as Oklahoma can get under the LT this season, they will be happy. That want a reset so they can avoid the repeater tax.

    You are looking at part of the reason the Thunder were never a threat last season. No off-ball movement, and basically the entire team is disinterested in what is going on unless they have the ball in their hands.

    Rox should get in on this....
    Atlanta: Melo (OKC) + Anderson (HOU) + OKC 2020 2nd + HOU 2019 1st + HOU 2020 2nd + HOU 2021 2nd + Onuaku (HOU) + $3M cash from HOU
    OKC: Schroder (ATL) + Mascala (ATL)
    Rox: Bazemore (ATL) + Dedmon (ATL)

    Then sign Melo after ATL buy-out.

    Htine ship!

    Melo is going to be really good - great on our TEAM...with CP3/Beard....Very close to or at Olympic Melo in our system, with our guys. No major injuries and so much frustrated talent ready to bust loose. Folks are about to be shocked.. Think about CC and the way we've put him in the best opportunity to succeed. The rest of the League should be very afraid of what continues to happen down here. Why do you think GS added Boogie? Book it. : )

    Now this I like for the Rockets, but not sure why OKC would do it.

    Look at their body language. They look completely disinterested when melo gets the ball.

    Watch Robertson(?) at the bottom. As soon as Melo fronts his man, Robertson starts walking to the other end. Not sure if that says something about Melo being a ball movement black hole or his team mates not moving. I lean to the former.

    Nah it says a lot about the team being a poorly coached group of players who were only interested in the game when they had the ball in their hands. Poor team composition, worse coaching. When you have a complete scrub like Andre Roberson feeling free to be disinterested in offense, you have a SERIOUS coaching problem.

    Because it’s the same thing they are being reported as wanting to do anyways?

    Looking way too much into this! Coaching sucks. Players don’t know anything else.

    He will have an actual floor general here who doesn’t care about scoring. Cp3.

    He demands **** from his players and in this case ... one of his best friends. Melo will buy into Paul and Harden.

    I didn't necessarily see this as a negative.
    Could be the teammates thought Melo had a favorable match-up and was likely to score?

    Roberson is better off not even crossing the offensive side of half court. In all honesty, that's how Roberson plays offense. He avoids it.

    Looks like a set play to get Melo the ball in the post tbh.

    Melo vs Langston Galloway.

    I'm walking down the court to get back on defense, thats a bucket 9/10 times.

    The rest of the league better get their Foster-Mauer brothers ready!

    lol Roberson wants no part of a possible kick out to a 3 he can't ever hit.

    No it's not? They would ideally not take any money back or at least as little as possible on any Melo trade. That's the whole point for them. Shed salary.
