    I agree with you, in normal circumstances but in an offense for defense switch situation, I'd have him & RoCo on offense and DJ & RoCo on D.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    On offense, I agree with you. He's shooting the three-pointer well, so he makes sense as a floor spacer around Lillard. In a late-game situation where a barrage of timeouts allows you to keep switching for offense and defense, I'd absolutely have Melo out there for offense.

    In a situation where he has to play defense over the final, say, 5 minutes? I'm not sure what he gives you is worth what he takes away.

    Andre Miller lived in a hotel room at the Residence Inn next to Waterfront park the entire time he played in Portland.

    Carmelo is the same age as brandon roy. I imagine this is what we'd be getting out of roy if he had stayed healthy, and with the team.

    He’s been getting buckets the last several games. Has 20 or more in 4 of the last 5!

    screw melo's legacy. Portland is 9.7 points better when Melo is on the bench than when he's on the floor:

    upload_2021-3-2_9-24-19.png

    while Melo is -9.7, Jones is +8.0, and Kanter is +6.1. The only defense for Melo's number is that Jones and Kanter start with Dame, while Melo plays with Ant and Hood part of the time (Hood -10.1; Simons -15.5). But Melo plays parts of the 1st and 3rd Q's with Dame, and often plays with Dame the last 3-5 minutes of the 4th, so that Dame-factor isn't that lopsided

    C A R M E L O!

    He helps us win games - you can take your meaningless stat and instead look at the box score! Without Melo’s scoring we lose. The guy is a legend and I, for one, hope we can enjoy him as a Blazer this and next season!

    Say - we both joined on Oct 19, 2008?
