    And Collins, and Pau for the second unit. Trade Whiteside for a wing and this is a new team.

    My first reaction was shock and disappointment.
    Now that the initial feeling is gone, I see where this could be a good move. It's a cheap, non-guaranteed contract which is a big piece of deal.
    I think we'll get his best team effort. He wants another contract and this may be his only shot at a future deal. He has to know this is Dame's team and if he wants to stick he'll have to do more than volume shooting.

    One question for all: will he start? If not, what does the second team look like now?

    If he starts i'll throw up. The energy Nassir Little brought to the team in the last game is badly needed. Little could quickly become the next "untradable" guy on the roster while it's more likely Anthony will become the next uplayable guy.

    He needs to become a better passer too. Hood as well.

    On the Knicks he once averaged 4.2 assists for one season and had over a 20% assist% twice. Still not great but maybe he'd be a willing passer in the right situation.

    We've not been a good passing team since Andre Miller from the pt guard position...Batum and Plumlee were above avg passers but passing is something there's no quick fix for with this 10 new player version of the Blazers....timing will get there but I fully expected a lot of turnovers early on with so many young or new rotation pieces.

    I don't need Melo to be a pt forward...I want him to crash the boards...post up and knock down jumpers

    This makes Stotts exempt from having to run a coherent offense. Just more "give the ball to someone to decide what to do with it" game plan.

    I have heard a number of places now that “In the right situation” he can do well.
    Also that Portland could be that situation.
    I guess one can only hope! I’m with you on this. Very little to lose in the deal they have him for. Any upside might be worth it.

    Stotts offense requires good screens and actually MAKING SHOTS...….let's start there,,bricking layups and free-throws and open jumpers isn't a formula for success

    Every offense requires setting good screens and making shots. Stotts gets way too much blame for simple breakdowns.
