How thankful are you now that the Melo trade didn't happen?

Do you guys remember any player who plays better with Westbrook than without him?

 

Yeah, me too. Plus, we wanted Melo for a 3rd playmaker in the playoffs, not for his regular season stats.

That said, it's possible my butthurt post-Melo trade was misfounded... but I don't think there's enough evidence yet for either side.

 

Hah, I never EVER wanted this cancer.

Look it up been a Melo hater forever.

since NY wanted Ego I am very thankful

Capela and Gordon were “hell no’s” for me in a trade for Melo

 

Idk why I would be thankful. Melo is an obvious upgrade over Ryan Anderson in any situation.

 

If shooting 3s is a situation I would take Ryan.

 

I believe they were hoping the friendship with Paul would solve any chemistry issues

 

I wish we could have made it work, but giving up CC or EG is a no go in that deal.

 

If the trade package included Capela or EGo, hell no. But if it were just Ryno straight up I still would. And I actually think Ryno has been playing very well lately. Hope he keeps it up. I just think Ryno can really help us versus GS. Melo might be a problem, but I think he would give us a better chance.

 

Still early.

They've had huge blow out wins and close losses, so their margin of victory is 3rd in the league despite being 4-4.

 

Harden could never have had this game with Melo on the team, just no way. I’m very grateful!

 

Not to derail this thread but I taught my 11 year old shihtzu to roll over last year.

Don't care much for Melo though. Always found him overrated.

 

Melo just got ejected

 

That’s a weak ejection.

 

Harden and Paul create for others, Westbrook creates for himself, then drops it off, George doesn't create for anyone. Those first two can have Olympic Melo, that 2nd two just gets you NY Melo.

 

It's hard to remember something that's never happened.

 

I’m of the belief that Harden and CP3 planted Melo into the Thunder camp to sabotage them. Melo had to waive his
no trade clause.

Then move on to LA or Houston in the summer. Guessing LA with LeBron. Paul George may
not be banana boat enough for LeBron

I'm probably one of the biggest Harden critic on this forum. But god damn, I will never acknowledge Westbrook is better than Harden. Never. Maybe Durant or Curry, but I'll take Harden over Chuckbrook any day of the week.
