I see melo taking that paycut he talked about

 

[acbboyz84]

I guess melo is content with having no ring. Can't blame him though. 30 mil a year is hard to turn down.

Rockets really took a dump this free agency.

They really got shafted by the way the chips fell.

Atleast they don't have Lin and Asik anymore, since the Houston fans hated on them so much.

All those guys on those Cavaliers team had roles

It was more of a sum is greater than the parts

SEE?! People LEGIT think that Cavs team was something! 

That Cavs team was a dope team. A good team. They were like a poor mans OKC now, but they played A1 D.

That TEAM was good, period.

They would have beat anybody in the West the year they lost to the Spurs

He can first get rich, then go on a contender when he gets old.

i really wanted durant to win his first mvp and title in the same season 

oh well maybe next season 

 

[bhzmafia14]

Right or wrong?

Anthony Morrow's best moments have always come on teams

1) playing for nothing or
2) depleted at the wings

I think he will play the role Cook played for OKC a few years back, though.

OKC posters, do you think it will hurt not having more of a 3-D guy at SG if Morrow was to start?

 

[Hank Scorpio]

I think Houston was a bad fit simply because Melo needed to be on a great defensive team. In Chicago with Thibs, Butler, Gibson, Noah, defense would have been an after thought for him. He could focus on his biggest asset, which is scoring. In Houston, he would be playing with a ball dominant guard in Harden and would have to share the block with Dwight and T Jones.

In Chicago, he had an elite passing big man, an elite defense, an elite coach. In Houston, I don't think he would have put them over the top in the West. Bosh would have been the best fit in Houston going forward.

I do agree that Bosh was the better fit for Houston as well, but i never thought Melo would've gotten along with Thibs.

Melo will be playing when hes 40. This is not his last contract deal.

Phil will still be with the Knicks (if he's alive Godspeed), so he has plenty of time for a Trophy and a Ring guys, because NY has plenty of time for Phil and Fisher to implement that Triangle.

Ring in NY before Chicago, Clippers, Wizards

I like you. You're a good guy.

get dat moolah melo

All this "Knicks will get free agents" talk sounds eerily familiar to the Lakers will land Melo and Bron talk from last off season. Just saying.

Nobody guaranteeing anything with free agency and the Knicks. Just saying they will have money and cap space. That can't hurt.

co-sign and downpayment

 

[mister friendly]

Lebron wanted those guys and they worked with his skill set


The same way he wants Mike Miller and Troy Daniels, they work with his skill set

I'm sure LeBron wanted a lot of things, the best the Cavs could surround him with was simply just average at best. Front office didn't get the job done in 7 years. They didn't have any lottery picks after Luke Jackson, which also hurt them (wasn't anyone's fault, just fact).

You're making it out to be that LeBron specifically asked for these guys and shunned other possibilities.

Was his supporting cast Bosh and Wade level? Heck no

Could the Cavaliers Front office have done better? Yes

But lets not act like they constantly give Lebron, pieces of **** as presents

Those dudes were meant to complement his skill set

They doing it now too

Like who is clamoring for Troy Daniels?

That guy will eat off Lebron's style of play but if you put him with most teams he'll be a non factor

 

[ballinsam23]

What if Melo went to CHI like all you **** boys wanted and Rose tears something else again? NT would flip the script real quick. "Thats what he gets for teaming up with Grant Hill 2.0"

Would it be Melo's fault also? That he just put his faith in a guy that can get injured tomorrow at any second.

Resigning with the knicks was the safest and smartest option. Considering the teams he chose.

When Melo gets old he can still be a knockdown shooter somewhere, so it's all about the money right now for him

forget getting melo, having chicago fans crying and angry is the true prize

I said they were average.

Again, you are implying that LeBron specifically asked for those guys, like he could have had better talent but settled on them.

Damn, thats REALLY optimistic

His game though, Its below the rim and from a 3pt(pass shoot or dribble) stance. 

He can do this all day at 40

And what if nobody wants to sign with the New York Knicks in 2015 and 2016? Or what if all the prize free agents decide to sign extensions with their original teams? Would it be Melo's fault also? That he just put his faith in the possibility of guys being persuaded by Phil? "Thats what he gets for taking all the money and an uncertain future"

What if's work both ways

 

[kevin cleveland]

I don't see Morrow starting. Way too poor of a defender.
