2018 OFF-SEASON DISCUSSION THREAD

Melo on a bench role

"I know how to play this game of basketball. I've been playing it for a long time. When I feel like I'm ready to take that role, then I'll take that role. Only I know when it's best for me to take that role. I'm not going to do that in a situation where I still know my capabilities and what I can do. And at the end of the day, the people who really matter know my capabilities and what I can still do. You start getting to the media and debates, it's going to always be kind of back-and-forth."

MDA is about to quit again b/c of this dude. He'd be a perfect 6th man for the Rockets.

He's a washed up superstar who thinks he's still got it. That's like the worst player to have. Pretty much useless if you're trying to win games.

Kobe would be in the gym

Was there a point to this post?

One thing that might help is that cp3 is the voice of that team

One of his bestfriends

He might be that voice that Melo needs to realize the big picture

he's fine as a starter

Gives Chris and James a guy who can make a play. Doesn't have to just stand in the corner

 

[Mexi]

Like I've already said

PJ Tucker will now start in place of ariza. That's actually an upgrade

And Melo starts over Luc and Anderson. Also an upgrade offensively

Defensively we'll see, but remember, OKC had the best defense when Roberson played and that lineup included Melo and Westbrook

Team defense guys.

Houston really isn't as bad as you want them to be. Relax

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Well they certainly arent as good as you want them to be...

This is true

But what you keep on missing everytime we have this conversation is that defense will not be the problem. Rockets will be fine defensively but the problem will be with the offense

Melo will kill it, man

he's from Palmdale no shit

It's legit there middle of nowhere

 

[Rios15]

He has no self-awareness whatsoever lol. 

Definitely brings it on himself lol. He tries to act like he ain't care what people say but he really cares lol.

 

[Mexi]

Melo will kill it, man

I feel like the only team who can get anything out of Melo is literally Houston

They're going to be fine. Most wins in the west or close to it again

 

[Paulius]

Top 3 seed

Cp3 needs to stay healthy

 

[snipezo]

If he wants the ball in his hands, hed be better off the bench where he can do his thing with the 2nd unit.

Saw a thread on Reddit where you create a team to beat the current Warriors using any player in NBA history
The catch is that 3 of the 5 players must have never made an All-NBA team.
 
C: Olajuwon
F: Kirilenko
F: Bowen
G: Jordan
G: Conley Jr
 
Thoughts?
