That’s exciting. Not sure how this works on offense or defense, but it’s fun to think about.

Horrible trade by OKC. Melo is older than I am. He cant defend and he needs the ball in his hands. Hes an isolation hero ball scorer. He does not complement Russ or george at all. Melos value would be on a gpod defensive team needing scorers, not on a team with two established scorers. Im afraid they will take turns again each possession instead of running efficient offense.

Have you seen Enes Kanter play defense? It’s a great trade. Whether they can make it work or not is yet to be seen, but a Presti turned 3 people that were unplayable in the playoffs and VO to George and Anthony. George, Roberson and Adams are great defenders. The defense will be fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

How many legitimate stars does the East have now? Are they down to 3? Lebron, Kyrie, and Greek Freak?
The NBA should cut itself in half. The Western Conference is now the NBA and the Eastern Conference is NBA #2. It's a joke now. It's the worst it's ever been in terms of an imbalance of talent and good teams. Silver's got to do something. |

Melo to OKC is not going to go as well as some people are hoping. You just put a ball hog in a team run by a ball hog. Lol.

It's going to be interesting to see how they mesh... I think they can make it work. Still not beating the Spurs or Warriors but they will be up there. Last edited by PAChiefsGuy; 09-23-2017 at 05:08 PM.. |

The most unimpressive 10.4 in NBA history. He played the whole year like a video game loser by bunching his points and assists. Not to mention he never contested a shot so he could cheat towards the lane for a rebound. **** Westbrook.

Whatever.
He plays like career mode on NBA2K. For 10 minutes he won't shoot while looking to get his assists. Then the next 10 minutes he'll do nothing but shoot. This means that OKC isn't always getting the best shot, but it serves Russell's statline. Obviously that will change this year, but him and Harden are not the distributors their stats say they are. |

Hes a great talent but he still shoots too many 3s and bad mid range shots.eliminate mid range, either go to the hoop & dish or spot up from 3

You're going to have high assists when you're pretty much the only guy who gets to control the ball.
