    Adding someone that can drop 30 on any given night without giving up anything?

    Not true. He'll drop 30, but give up 40.

    We could never use him because he has chemistry with NO One. giphy5CLJLMKFcookin.gif

    So, waiting until Dec. 15th so he can be traded. That means avoiding luxury tax hits for teams he’s likely want to play for, as well as him avoiding having a crappy team claim him off waivers.

    As mentioned in Wojs article, it’s probably more about his agents still looking for his next team.

    In their 4 losses, the Blazers gave up 125, 120, 114, and 126 pts. Is offense really the problem?

    I wouldn't trade him for a used Nike backpack. The only way I'd take him if I was Olshey is with zero possible cost. Not unless we can get him is for the player who's roster spot he'd be taking anyway.

    They only clear salary if a team claims him off waivers. That’s only going to be crappy teams, if any. I’m not sure CP3 and Harden are going to be thrilled about their buddy getting shafted like that. Besides, maybe the Rockets can get some young talent or a pick.

    I’m not advocating for him, just saying what the situation looks like to me.

    Well, Melo can always tell those shitty teams not to claim him since he won’t suit up.

    I think the delay is just to give Melos agents and his next team time to work everything out. I doubt they’re going to hold Melo hostage for another month.

    Brooklyn. He also dropped 20+ on Utah and the Clippers.

    Brooklyn I was like NAH. But the Clippers are one of the better defensive teams and Utah can at times.

    "D'Antoni and Rockets general manager Daryl Morey have emphasized that Anthony has fulfilled every obligation and responsibility asked of him since joining the team."

    Except for playing defense and making shots.
