    There aren't a lot of options, especially with trigger shy Neil.

    Layman, in reality, is a poor-man's Viktor Khryapa.

    Layman or Melo?

    Pick one.

    No, he eats all of Layman's minutes, and maybe some of Stauskas and Turners.

    Melo will eat Meyers minutes. Melo will come in with Collins.

    I think if it's an option we sign the guy. He'll help our offense and might be a better starter than Moe at least he'd be better than Layman until Moe gets back.

    How will a somebody who's declining, a below average 2pt shooter, an average (at best) 3pt shooter, who's a ball stopper and doesn't pass, help our offense?

    I guess some people don't realize just how bad he's been.

    At this point, Melo is probably worse than Meyers. Both can't defend for shit, but at least Meyers plays within the flow of the offense and can make a shot...

    You are kinda right, the offense is perfect for an inefficient iso-ball chucker.

    I think Melo can make shots and if he's getting some shots he'll play defense with more energy and better than Meyers. I just think signing him is low risk with a possible high reward.

    Having the ball stop and be held is not our offense

    Even in NY he had 53TS%. He's been a volume scorer who isn't efficient and sucks at everything else. The past year and a half he's simply regressed normally for player reaching their mid 30s, be coming extremely inefficient. Even when he was the star in NY, he was still an awful defender and now he's slower, and has less energy to give. It's a bad option.

    Last night, the team scored 117 pts and lost. That is not a scoring problem.

    Even if you are in the camp that believes Melo can still score with adequate efficiency, he will only make the defensive struggles worse.

    I agree! If Dame, CJ, ET are on board with it bring him in. Low risk high reward.

    Still on the fence about adding him. Can one of the pro-Melo crowd persuade me?
