    Please, oh please, oh please!!! He's already taken down two of my least favorite teams, I'd love to see him complete the trifecta and take down the third.

    So they are keeping him on the roster so the Lakers can trade for him, so he doesn't get taken on waivers. Lebron make another phone call?

    This is why we do not want Carmelo Anthony:

    upload_2018-11-15_16-46-32.png

    Look at those last two rows and think about what they mean. His offensive production used to offset his terrible defense, which gave him a positive BPM and a positive VORP. It no longer does. Now his offense is every bit as bad as his defense. It's not just the 10 games he's played in HOU this year, but the entire season he played in OKC last year. He is now a negative on both ends of the floor.

    And for those who don't know what VORP means - it stands for Value Above Replacement Player, and replacement player doesn't mean an average NBA player, it means a 14th or 15th man you'd call up from the G League or pick up off the waiver wire - and he's WORSE than that. It's also cumulative (a product of BPM x minutes played). In other words, that -0.2 will just keep getting more and more negative the more minutes he plays.

    Not just NO, but FUCK NO!

    I know what VORP is. I used to like baseball. Sabermetrics originated so much it's ridiculous.
