The super Melo to Portland thread + The Big Blockbuster

Nurk is an underrated passer. He might force the issue on occasion, but he will also create a couple easy shots every game. HW is a blackhole with the ball.

 

Yes, but we are talking about Melo here. You know? 10x All-Star Carmelo Anthony.

 

CJ going be CJ don't matter who on the court.

 

That won't happen 12 years, at least. CJ would have to give Trent the ball in order to teach him how to not give up the ball.

 

1 on 3 creates a lot of turnovers and getting capped at the rim leads to 5 on 4 fast breaks.

 

I only read the first quarter of this thread, but I assume someone made the obligatory observation that we just need to get "Olympic Melo" and we'll be elite?

I agree with HCP--Anthony needs to play all game. He brings the "respected legend" factor, which may not mean anything for basketball production but is still a thing.

 

We got fat Kemp, now we're getting washed-up Anthony. My expectations are low, like they were for Tolliver.

 

L.M.A.O......

 

Nah, we have Hood y Melo. That is best Melo.

 

Well the fans vote Melo in this year?

 

I posted that in a thread...last time I saw him play was with team USA and he was the best player on the court more often than not...dude has 3 gold medals...he's going to love playing for Stotts who will let shoot all the open shots he wants

 

Only if we have a long assed winning streak as soon as he plays with us

 

And a TS% for past two years equal to the worst year of his 16 year career, and 5% lower than Aminu’s last year. And a god-awful BPM of -5.9 equaling Hezonja’s worst year, which is quite a feat.

 

Here he is about a year ago.. 28 points

 

Low? I admire your optimism.

 

I look at Melo's last 3 stops as pure chaos...starting with Knicks culture in general before those 3 teams....Chris Kaman came here with baggage, Nurk came here with baggage, Mo Harkless came with baggage....I think Melo has a real reason to ball out and not end his career with failures. He'll finally play for a coach who will say......you got a good shot, take it

 

remember when Olshey said this new roster was going to stretch the floor better and create better spacing than last year's roster?

c'mon man...sample size...it was only 10 games and he only attempted 57 shots. The year before he shot 43.7% over 78 game while attempting 694 shots. Over both seasons his TS% was .503 then .513. in the last 2 seasons, Evan Turner shot .504 and .520. In other words, Melo shot worse than Turner....yikes!

 

If that’s the case then why are we all up in arms over our players shooting percentages? It’s only been 12 games...
Melo takes more shots then turner. He’s easier to shot 50% when you’re taking two shots a game

 

Anyone have an idea if it’s official yet?
