    Not saying I would want him, but is he damaged goods? Could he help Portland, or any other contenders in the West?

    LaLa would not approve.

    She wanted nothing with the mid-market of Denver.

    Plus, his contract is an anchor.

    He believes he is more clutch than Lillard and would demand the ball in close game situations. He would pout if he didn't get it. He's a fucked up version of Kobe.

    I agree... What about other contenders? I don't think any contenders in the west would be interested.

    Sure he could help ruin the cap space for any western contender. Melo sold his hopes of getting a ring last summer. He's stuck in NY until he's out of his prime.

    I hope lots of contenders want him. It would instantly make then not contenders.

    If you want to look for a go-to scorer and offer up anyone outside Lillard/Aldridge I think you look at soon-to-be UFA Marc Gasol.

    Melo is possibly The Worst "superstar" ever to build a team around. A selfish ballhog who shoots a shitty percentage, who usually loses, and who makes his teammates WORSE, the egomanical Melo is the epitome of worst the NBA has to offer.

    What about him? He's a bad shooter who is already stealing shots from Harden. Yes, they won the game, but long term, this will hurt them.

    I think the Bulls and their fans are glad they dodged a bullet here

    My point is he makes them worse. They expect this tweener to guard LA?

    Melo would thrive here, assuming he bought into the 6th man role.

    Ive been thinking the same thing. Especially in the playoffs they will let him hold and grab and he can stay on Aldridge away from the basket.

    I think that's his problem though. It's always been about him and his team second. No way would he welcome being a sixth man, even if it assured him a title.

    Clearly he's better than Batum but Batum fits into a defined role in our offense while I see Melo disrupting the apple cart. So I agre with mediocre man it would be amazing to have him buy into a big minute sixth man role. But like mags I don't see that happening. I don't imagine that's how he'd see a three headed monster team working but if you think about it having two of the three starting and the third coming off the bench would be way more effective than trying to divide one ball three ways.
