    You're a completely different kind of jerk?

    I claim no jerk-specific knowledge.

    Evidently he didn’t want to be that far from his kid, but it’s not like OKC and Houston are that close either.

    It’ll be interesting to see what type of team he lands on if released.

    Just random "Jerking". No specific stroke or rhythm? Were you in the suite last night? Did they have the lock on the bathroom again?

    Yes. I'm the kind of jerk who forgets what he wrote 5 minutes ago and doesn't respond.

    The trickiest part about adding Melo is that you have to find minutes for him. He's currently averaging just under 30 minutes per game with Houston.

    Right now here would be the guys that he would take minutes from:

    Layman - 14.5 minutes per game
    Aminu - 28.9 minutes per game

    I also think it's crazy that he at one point shot 49% from the field. He used to be a very efficient scorer. I wonder what happened to him.

    Carmelo Anthony? No thank you.

    upload_2018-11-12_12-58-37.png

    I like how this team is playing right now. Especially that second unit. It's success is based off of hustle and ball movement. Carmelo doesn't fit in the first or second unit.

    If he was on the Blazers he'd probably play the 4 with the 2nd unit with Collins at the 5. So he might take some minutes from Aminu and Layman but would probably get all of the minutes Swanigan and Leonard play (not that it's a whole lot).

    Curry
    Stauskas
    Turner
    Melo
    Collins

    I'm not advocating for this but I think this is how it would go down if he was brought in.

    Meyers gets around 11 minutes per game when he plays, and Caleb gets about the same. So we know that there's no way Melo would be happy with that.

    Stotts actually has a lot of people getting minutes in his rotation. Based on the numbers of games played and the people averaging over 10 minutes, the 10 man rotation right now is

    Dame
    CJ
    Layman
    Aminu
    Nurk
    Collins
    Turner
    Stauskas
    Curry
    Leonard

    Sometimes Biggie gets minutes. Obviously Harkless is injured. He would have to take all of Leonard and Layman's minutes to get to around 25 minutes per game.

    I never claimed he would be happy with that. Melo won't be happy in any situation because he thinks he's still as good as he was in his 20's.

    Eh, I don't know..... it sure seems like he's being made into the scapegoat for a team that's playing like shit anyway. I don't think this is his fault. I think More signed an over-the-hill point guard to a huge contract and let some key pieces get away.

    Why are people still talking about this guy? Adding him to this team wouldn't make sense on any level.

    This is exactly why you cannot compare peoples statements and feelings on the matter to what they would have done two years ago. Significant drop off. Almost too much? Cannot believe he was in a good situation for his role.

    Oh I agree that Melo is not one of the reasons behind why the Rockets haven't been as good, but that doesn't mean he's as good as he thinks he is still either.

    We should get him and then trade him to the Lakers for Lebron.

    Because then the Blazers wouldn't have to worry about the Lakers getting more TV time.
    Did i forget the green font?
