Rumor Moe Harklesss Part of Trade With Knicks !!!!!

Another fun Melo stat; on catch and shoot three pointers he shot 42.6%.

We can argue his shot selection, but the guy can shoot. I'd argue that he's had to be selfish because of the teams he's been on. He looks like a different player for team USA. He shares the ball. He doesn't go ISO. I don't think that's a coincidence. Give me Melo.

 

Because he's done so much winning?

 

How many gold medals does he have?

He's also took the nuggets to the conference finals and won a national championship.

He's done more winning than anyone on our roster.

 

It's a team sport. You don't see any sane person minimizing Chris Pauls career because of his teams lack of success in the playoffs.

 

He'd make Dame and CJ seem like all defense caliber players. The ball literally stops when he touches it

 

Another fun Melo stat.

When adjusted to equal minutes played, last season, Fatty Felton had more blocks than Melo.

 

So we're on to the next topic?

 

Breaking: Carmelo Anthony, bad defender.

 

No, he still sucks

 

As for HE took the Nuggets to the finals, I have no idea how old you sare, but Iverson and Billups had a lot to do with the success of that team.

 

The Allen Iverson that wasn't on their roster? Get lost old man.

 

FIFY
Melo has never won a NBA conference finals, let alone a NBA championship.

 

So the prerequisite to play for Portland is a ring? Hmm ok let me update the wish list.

 

This one is for you dorks that hold Carmelos lack of "winning" against him; which specific team of his did he prohibit winning a championship from? It's ok I'll wait.

 

I never said that.

If you are trying to sell us on Melo, stop using faulty selective stats and info. It makes your case much weaker, not stronger.

 

You didn't say that? There was definitely something inferred there, and if there wasn't, why'd you mention it?

 

I corrected your very misleading statement.

Not sure if your posts intentionally misrepresent Melo, or, if you have such a blind man crush on him that you can not see the truth?

 

What was misleading? Old man tried to come at me with some snark about Carmelo not winning and I corrected him. You want to minimalize the conference finals and an ncaa championship, fine. But don't try to tell me he's not a winner because he's had more losing seasons or whatever. He hasn't been set up to win. That's not on him.

 

The real question is, will Melo help the Blazers win more games?
A. It depends on how he is used. I have explained my views on this in past threads, but will take the time to post it again.

Despite your one selective stat in a post above, Melo is an in-efficient scorer. If Melo started for the Blazers, he would be taking shots away from other players, every one of whom are more efficient scorers than he is.

There are only so many shots to go around for the starters. With Melo starting, the Blazer’s offense would score a few points less each game, not more, which translates into a few more loses, not wins.

Also Melo would be replacing a better defender. The result is the other team scoring a few more points per game. Which means a few more loses for the Blazers, not wins.


The only way I can see for Melo to help the Blazers win more games is if he comes off of the bench. Melo as a super 6th man, a scoring sparkplug off of the bench, might work, but will never happen.
