Add Carmelo Anthony to your team brehs

[G-Zeus]

They knew exactly who/what Melo was/is breh


i doubt they are even surprised by this

Yeah.. I think they wanted him for low post...but they need butler bad

 

[obarth]

I don't. Because there's always a million and one excuses

Ok. You feel like pointing out 1 of these alleged "excuses"?

I want you to take a look at this board and he entire internet a year or so ago when “hoodie melo” had everyone excited to seen him play with russ and Paul George
He disappointed and so did his team. It’s a bad trend idc what y’all want to say
He joins this rockets team and they start off badly
He was with the Knicks and had one playoff season

Yeah he is the scapegoat and yes there are other factors but damn wade got that bulls team to the playoffs as a second banana behind jimmy butler. Bron took two different teams to the nba finals for 8 straight seasons. Chris bosh got his two rings and would easily be more dominant then melo right now if he didn’t get blood clots considering he could stretch the floor and play all nba caliber defense

Melo is compared to his peers and he went from being arguably 1 or undeniable second behind lebron to a what if story career wise

At least he got the bag doe

I'm a Knicks fan. "Hoodie Melo" was always a lowkey joke amongst us. "He disappointed and so did his team". His team? The Thunder are Westbrook's team. Melo, just like PG were pieces added for said team to try to contend. The team disappointed. This Rockets team does not live or die based on Melo. They're most dependent on the two guys they currently don't have. Wade got the Bulls to the playoffs playing with Jimmy Butler. Melo got the Knicks to a 2 seed playing with who? I wont mention how convienant it is to say what Chris Bosh "could" be doing but isn't. What team would Bosh be doing these hypothetical things on btw? Who would be his teammates? Wait, I forgot your supporting cast doesn't matter. The competence of your front office doesn't matter, either. LeBron needs more help always, but Melo is trash for not winning championships with the Nuggets or Knicks...meanwhile Westbrook and PG are gucci for not winning chips with their respective teams. Is Blake Griffin trash for not winning anything? How about Anthony Davis? How long until we stop logically realizing Giannis doesn't have the pieces necessary to contend and we just start calling him trash? It's fine to compare Melo to his peers. When you decide you're going to ignore all of the variables surrounding said peers, your argument falls apart. So I'll ask you the same question the other dude refused to answer: What season was Melo supposed to win the chip and he didn't?

Last 2 games melo looked regular to me


Yall talkin about Melo's defense like Harden aint on the same team im all for shytting on nikkas when they deserve it but houston knew damn well they weren't getting defense outta melo, if he can knock down open shots consistently that's all that was expected of him

Harden makes up for his lack of defense with offense. Melo is washed on both ends

 

[Reid2Achieve]

If they benched him they wouldn’t do any better. You can’t blame their struggles on Melo. He is playing on a minimum and mostly coming off the bench.

They just found the recipe that worked last year and overachieved. This happens almost every year. 2011 Mavs, 2013 Pacers, 2015 Hawks, 2017 Heat, etc.

 

[ALonelyDad]

Melo is a bad player at this stage but lol at him being the scapegoat for the last two teams.

 

[JerseyFinest!]

Once again, melo chose money over a chance to win. Sign and trade could have worked or they could paid him a pay cut or he could have done like lebron has been doing and do 1+1 deals.

The next year he bulls were a 42 win team with butler and rose only playin 66 games and Noah only getting 29
Melo was again on a non playoff team that won 32 games with melo averaging 21. Once again, he takes pau gasol spot and that’s still a 50 win team the next year

Why would he give up like 50 mil to go to a average team.

Name the Bulls Roster that would’ve been with Melo through that 5 year contract that justified giving up 50 mil.

 

[Ben.]

IDK about those stats since we're 3-4 games into the season but Melo is a detriment to the teams defense obviously

 

[Liquid]

DONT DISS KANTER LIKE THAT

REAL TALK, MELO NOT EVEN 1/10TH THE PLAYER KANTER CURRENTLY IS

The knicks won the Kanter trade

 

[Gyasi85]

Do you know how many garbage defenders there is in the NBA

Nikkas never liked Melo, they were waiting for his fall off to shyt on him. That’s why they go out their way to magnify his weakness

Been telling Breh's for years...its 2 nikkas in this league that CaCs hated from jump... AI & Melo , and now Henny catch it cuz he went Brolic on Gilbert All 3 of them was on that Olympic Squad in 04 and CaCs and foolish c00ns was openly rooting against them hoping they would lose.... Melo as an ISO player was always hard to fit into an offense and now he on his so they going xtra with it....You show me two CaC athletes of their caliber career wise of any sport who catch this kind of heat on a yearly basis ? Eli is now Melo Status and the media and fans protecting his self knowing damn well he got no business being on the field...

 

[ReturnOfJudah]

Melo just in it got a check

 

[Ineedmoney504]

Still capeing for melo? Boy is washed

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

Ariza had a nice opener, but other than that, he's been bottom of the garbage can soaked in garbage juice, garbage

 

[ManBearPig]

Melo's decline happened so fast

 

[who_better_than_me]

Melo is a defensive liability it he is t the biggest problem with Houston. None of the players understand switching defense concept. Only Tucker and Paul. We get lost in defensive switching all the time.

Our offense is a bigger issue than defense. We blowing a lot of shots in paint at the rim and. Eric Gordon has been the worst big scorer in the league. Dude is shooting 30% overall while taking damn near 20 shots a game. I’m surprised that Thibbs is so adamant about getting that type of production on his team...

Do you know how many garbage defenders there is in the NBA
