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

I looked it up

Carmelo Anthony Available to Rockets?

Eddie Griffin will be a good trade bait.

Sources: Carmelo open to multiyear deal with Rockets

[Yahoo!] Carmelo privately expressing more enthusiasm to join Rockets than Knicks

 

Lmao

 

Except when it’s home court or off the dribble or any type of coverage

Ryan Anderson a wide open only shooter [or way beyond the arc] streaky three point shooter

 

Hilarious.

 

Dayum. Would you like some potatoes with that roast?

 

@bobrek went hard in the paint there lol

 

I'm only interested in the impact this has on the Thunder imploding and Paul George becoming available at the deadline.

 

This! Now the majority of us with common sense said from jump if it's Ryan plus EGO/Capela it's not worth it and it definitely wasn't. Ryan's been surprisingly good on defense.

Having said that Billy Donovan is r****ded. You all can say what you want about Russ he IS THEIR BEST PLAYER. Having him come down the court, give the ball to melo, and move out the way is idiotic. They needed people to help when russ is locked down or not hitting, they didn't need the ball taken out of his hands

 

Nah, Melo would have feasted off Harden's and CP3's playmaking. Wish we had him, but I like our wings.

 

induct @bobrek into the inaugural CF HOF RIGHT NOW!!!!

this ether is top-tier!!!

 

How do we get hoodie Melo?

 

Would still prefer him to Anderson

 

You rather have Anderson and his contract versus only 1 more year of Melo contract?

With Melo, his contract is up after 2018. Anderson....

 

SWEET JESUS!! THE RECEIPTS!!! @bobrek on a savage warpath!!

 

It's too early in the season to make snap judgements.
The reason for getting Carmelo is not for the regular season.

Look back at the playoffs where Harden is off and Anderson is missing shots.
A proven multidimensional scorer would help the Rockets.

It's about the playoffs. it's ALWAYS ABOUT THE PLAYOFFS

 

Chris Paul and Carmelo situations are completely different.

It doesn't matter if you dislike Carmelo, lots of people do. He was brought into be the third scorer not the primary or secondary (Chris Paul).

The reason we didn't get Carmelo is because Ryan Anderson makes close to 20 million a year.

The Knicks would be stupid to get Anderson.

Carmelo would have replaced Anderson in the lineup. That's a much better upgrade.
I don't care what Anderson does in the regular season.

 

Olympic Melo may be a myth in the NBA, but, I think this team had the best chance to get it out of him.

First of all, as you say, Harden and Paul create for others.
2nd of all, MDA understands Olympic Melo. This is why in NYC he TRIED to get Melo to play PF. Melo wasn't having it, but MDA understands that him stretching the floor like that (While also being able to blow past any PF on him) is part of the equation.

I think he would have been great here personally if all we give up is Ryno basically.

I don't think the Westbrook thing will work out, we'll see, but so far nothing has convinced me that it will yet.

 

Sweet baby jesus will DD ever recover from this? Bobrek has cemented his legacy among all-time CF greats.

Find out on the next time of Dragon Ball Z...

 

He’s already dead, stop....
