The super Melo to Portland thread + The Big Blockbuster

He's doing better than Mario and Tolliver. Thats whose place he took. I'm ok with him on our roster. I'm sure his role will change with CJ out for sure, but better than seeing the other 2 guys tripping themselves down the court.

 

Hes better than two guys not good enough to be in the league? That isnt exactly an high bar.

 

But that's the bar. Thats who he replaced.

 

Yes but he’s not the only free agent available to sign this season. I love Melo but saying he replaced Hezonja to pump his value is a bad argument.

 

Melo is great....player/coach...our young guys can pick up a wealth of IQ from Melo and do...he's always in their ear...he invested in that new NBA tv channel with CJ and Dame and CP3 and a bunch of athletes....these guys are about so much more than just basketball...they all have a wine connection and Oregon is the place for wine ....Popovich has a winery here...I think we have gained alot from Melo signing with us....when he retires he may want a front office gig or assistant coaching gig. I watched his shooting routine tutorial on youtube today. Melo is a natural born teacher.

 

Tolliver is on the Grizzlies isn't he?

 

I'm not pumping up anything. Melo is playing the minutes and positions that Mario and Tolliver were playing on this roster. Rather have Melo.

 

Nah hes outta the league.

 

Last year. This year, he's using a roster spot that potentially could have gone to someone else (no, I don't know who--I'm not privy to whom Portland had available to sign).

 

Making the league minimum. I don't know for sure, purely speculating, but I think I'll take Melo at the minimum over any other player out there making the same.

 

Maybe. He's a net negative, so it might have been worth leaving the spot open for a mid-season buyout.

 

I just read he's with the NBA players delegation and met with the Pope in the Vatican on Jan 16th...he was on a 10 day with the Grizz and is still involved with the teams community organizations. The Grizz seem to like having him around even if he's not playing. You know you want him back Bones! admit it! Thanks for the correction...

 

My man is going to finish the season probably in 11th place all time. That’s cool, whether you like him or not!

 

Melo is great. Stotts needs to use him correctly and have him on the court with the right mix of teammates-

 

I think that mix is sitting on couches back in PDX FAMS.

 

yes! 100%

what can ya do?

 

PS: I’m holding down the hacienda here in Mexico for ya

when this Covid crap passes you’ll have to come visit beautiful San Miguel de Allende!

 

Root for your team and stay realistic in your expectations.

 

Standby let me google that. Your girl had already invited me down, I just assumed you were out of town.

 

We need to cut him before he can overtake legends like Robertson and Olajuwon.
