    Start Little and actually play him in the 4th and bring Melo off the bench with the second unit. Also, maybe run some sets on offense.

    This is my guess on the rotation as things currently stand

    Lillard
    McCollum
    Hood
    Anthony
    Whiteside

    Simons
    Bazemore
    Little or Hezonja
    Anthony
    Labissiere

    if neither little or Hezonja earn minutes Stotts will probably just shorten the rotation and stagger CJ or Hood.

    I believe I let it be known that I have never liked Carmelo as a team player and whoever had him that team would never win a championship. When I heard the news on M&M that we had signed Carmelo I about cut my wrists. Then I started thinking about it how much worse can he be then the people we got in place now? When we signed Tolliver I thought he would come in and be as good as Jake...LOL...I was really wrong. So we got 10 days to see if he can be a stop gap for Pau who might not play this season, Zach who might not play this season. Worst case scenario he sucks and we are back where we started and we look at next season with a lottery pick and healthy Nurk, Zach, and a shit ton of expiring contracts. So at this point I am ok with it because we have nothing to lose that we have not already lost and everything to gain.

    I actually believe the Woj report that the blazers were in contact with Melo since the preseason. We had an open roster spot and Collins was pretty much the only dependable guy we had at the four, and he’s really more of a five anyway. My guess is they wanted to evaluate what they had before pursuing someone like Melo later on in the season. The timeline just got sped up out of necessity.

    I’m not expecting it to work, but I’m very happy that something was done. I think we have plans to trade but we needed something until then. Next year we’re going to be really good with healthy Nurk, Collins, even better Simons, and a lottery asset. Plus with a narrative of redemption and coming back to being relative again lines up well for next season to be special.

    Maybe Melo is part of a trade with the Knicks? They have 47855675433987 Power Forwards on their Team, so what if we trade Melo + X + 2nd round pick to the Knicks for Morris? Melo gets his Farawell tour on his team, Knicks Management get's publicity and we get a good Power Forward, Knicks might be stupid enough to do that

    Or Melo + Whiteside + 1st round pick for Morris and Randle or Portis? Again Knicks might be dumb enough to do that

    Here’s the thing. There is NO pressure for this experiment to work. None. It can’t get worse than it was. We were driving a 78 pinto and we were late to work every day. Now somebody gave us a 95 Benz with 400,000 miles on it with no 4th or 5th gear.
    Drive on FAMS, drive on.

    Well it is unusual to lose to the Santa Cruz Warriors and the Kings without their best players ??

    Melo will not be eligible to be traded this season.

    Even if he was why wouldn't NY have just signed him instead of waiting for a team to pick him up to trade for him?

    C'mon man.
