Why is Melo is over green ?

I never stated that one way or the other …. Just that letting Ariza walk was a tax saving move because they couldf have done everything they did and still kept him , the only reason he's not a Rocket is the tax savings..


For the record , Ariza doesn't help the loss to the Pelicans …. but he probably does against LA. so no , they wouldn't be 3-0 but 2-1 instead of 1-2.

 

Davis didn’t play the first game, then cousins got hurt, they didn’t have Julius, they traded for Nikola later in the season, Okafor and Cheick were getting mins and all the games were pretty close

They are a better team than last year. Especially in the front court

 

which still doesn't mean ariza wasn't effective vs nop but hey its your narrative

 

I’m just saying Ariza wouldn’t have been able to stop Davis, Nikola and Randal from abusing us they way they did

 

doesn't really matter at this point. what we do know is ariza was effective vs nop a year ago.

what we don't, obviously bc hes no longer a rocket, is what would happen in the game. it's whatever assumptions anyone wants to make them self believe
