    Not the Warriors? They should start him instead of Green.

    The thing about melo is if he would just drop his pride, he could still be a useful piece for a team. He could feast on a second unit. I still think things might’ve turned out differently had he played for Stotts instead of Donovan and D’Antoni, but it’s not worth the risk anymore. His loss.

    Well we would have to cut somebody. Who do we cut? Baldwin would be the most obvious candidate but I still believe in him.

    Curry
    Stauskas
    Turner
    Melo
    Collins

    Can’t lie, that’s intriguing.

    But Melo still thinks he’s a star. The last two years he’s barely passed the ball. Don’t know if that’s pride or shitty coaching. I don’t know, but I’m afraid I’m about to convince myself again.

    What's the risk? Every day he is on the team is the equivalent of bareback sex with a hooker of uncertain gender, a wet cough, and visible chancres.

    How many teams does this guy have to poison before somebody says "oh yeah - maybe it IS his fault!"

    Does he really think the only knock on Melo is his defense?

    He’s generally been a good teammate, especially in the second half of his career. Maybe his playing style hasn’t fit everywhere, maybe he’s inefficient, but I don’t know if I’d call him poison. The leaders on the team wanted him a year ago. Don’t see why that would change now.

    I just don't see it. Unless we have somebody on this staff who is connected with his past and knows how to motivate him. Anybody on the Blazers staff have a connection to Syracuse?
