    Can't agree with you hear FAMS. ZERO risk involved in this. We have guys getting tons of minutes that are not helping us win. We have guys getting tons of minutes who are wasting Dame's prime. When you have a star who's clock is basically ticking, you have to make some moves. Unconventional, risky, whatever it takes. Melo will not hinder Ant or Nas' growth. They will still get their minutes.
    CAN"T GET WORSE THAN IT HAS BEEN THE PAST 10 GAMES.

    Or he could take some pressure off of Ant and allow him to get better looks?

    Anthony Tolliver....35 years old 6'8
    Carmelo Anthony...35 years old..6'8
    When we had Zach we could use two 7 ft players in the paint....now we have Hassan, Skal and Melo to give us more length inside....Skal had to pretty much be on an island with Hezonja and Tolliver next to him....I still hope Nas starts for defense

    I mean... he was the head of their online content for a while.

    Actually, I worked with his brother for a little while. Super nice family.

    I'm not referring to Melo passing the ball to Ant, what I'm saying is that if Melo is on the floor with the 2nd unit it will help take a tiny bit of focus of the defense away from Ant which wasn't happening with our current 2nd unit. It also eases a teeny bit of pressure off of Ant from being the only one who can get a bucket or create much for himself.

    Still no news on Melo. No Interview, did he even pass physical? Is it confirm he will wear Jersey 00?

    I'm just posting this to make it forum official:

    @TorturedBlazerFan and I have a lunch bet regarding Melo.

    I win if Melo scores 20 points in any Blazers victory before his contract guarantee date of January 7th.

    Tortured wins if Melo doesn't score 20 points in any game or if he does but the Blazers lose the game.
