    As a creator of this thread and further, in consideration of Melo’s decision to join the piss and purple…

    I would like for the mods to hereby consider this thread permanently closed!

    proud to have been part of this epic thread of some 613 pages - it’s been great fun.

    To Melo: you’re an NBA great and unfortunately your Jersey will never hang from our rafters. Best wishes to you.

    You didn't create this thread as we see it now. You did create one of the first threads on Melo and then this monstrosity was merged into it. Not to take anything from you (I know I am a hit at parties!) and I agree it should be closed.

    I created the first thread, it was hijacked, then merged! Just saying…I’m a hit outside of parties

    Goodbye Melo

    It was nice while it lasted

    I'm sorry that Covid happened and ruined your thread; which is surely the real reason you left the team.

    Lets see how long LeBron want's to preserve his Legacy?

    I'm betting it only goes for a bit before Melo is benched.

    He might get a ring though? Who knows?

    I hate having anyone on the Lakers that I’ll root for, but I do now. I’m glad Melo got his shot back in the league with the Blazers. Now here’s hoping he plays 40 a night for the Lakers.

    I'm a fan of Melo now...especially the work he does outside of basketball..he deserved the Social Justice Jabbar trophy....his podcast is very informative and in tune with issues of the day..Ive listened to all his interviews...I also respected him as a good teammate and guy who would engage with the rookies on the bench. Nas and Trent learned alot from him...I still wish he was a Knick though

    I loved watching Carmelo out there. Class act, showed up to play every night, hit a ton of big shots and when he got going he was awesome. He came to Portland and made the most of it. Also pro tip: if you want stars to ever come here, when one does regardless of their age, ones who are universally respected by players, maybe don’t tell them good riddance and fuck off.

    Yup. One of our only bench players is gone. Dame can't be happy with that. They seemed to become close. Melo has a lot of clout in the league with other players.

    i don't think anyone hated melo as much as the role he was given. the constant focus on his climb up the scoring list was also annoying.

    Sure. Fine. What does that have to do with what I wrote? I said when a guy leaves maybe people shouldn’t say good riddance and fuck off. For absolutely no reason too. And a hall of famer.

    Because nobody is loved by 100% of people. When Dame leaves there will be people who say good riddance and fuck off.
