    My problem with Melo isn't his horrible defense. It's that he probably still thinks of himself as "the man", and "a starter".

    I don't know what actually happened in Houston but every single thing I've read about Melo there says that he was willing to accept a bench/reduced role, that he had absolutely no toxic incidents, and that his teammates all really liked him. I'm not sure if that's 100% true or not but to be fair to Melo he has gotten the cancer rep without there being a lot of substance to it.

    From what I read, when the OKC coach realized just how bad he was at defense, he was let go. Apparently, it didn't take Houston that long.

    Honestly, I think his deciding to not play defense (which probably happened when he was like 16) will ultimately be his legacy.

    Yeah, his defense definitely sucks. I don't think that makes his attitude toxic though.

    Ok fine I’ll play.

    Melo has an identical contract to Stauskas. A straight up swap?

    Curry
    Turner
    Harkless
    Melo
    Collins

    Even better if the Bulls thought Swanigan had some upside and got his contract off our books next year.

    Casey said that, a few months back, he texted some players about interest in Melo coming to POR. From his read on those responses, he said "that ship has sailed." Doesn't think there is interest on either Melo's side or the team's.
