Carmelo Anthony officially traded to OKC

[surv2syn]

really just shows what a terrible organization Cleveland is, mostly due to Gilbert's unwillingness to pay money for a GM. had he retained Griffin they had PG and Melo both in the bag. SAS confirmed that Griffin was just about to close the deal for PG and a deal for Melo was in place afterwards. instead they kept loading up with a bunch of role players and shelling out doe and that left them with no attractive assets. they only got the Brooklyn pick afterwards.

literally, PG and Melo couldve been on the Cavs and they ended up on OKC. OKC and Presti are some of the best to ever do this.

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Is he gonna stay with that roster? That's the question.

Knicks fans praying to God that he does, cause if not, it's going to be a bunch of mothafukkas jumping off the GWB

 

[Hypris]

OKC made some big moves this summer. They did everything they could do to entice Westbrook to stay long term. If Westbrook decides to leave next year anyway, OKC has nothing to be ashamed of.

Durant has a ring you dumbass. And why would they trade for PG and Melo when they occupy the same positions as Durant? Think before you post next time.

Man shut the fukk up. PG can play SG and had in the past and KD/Melo both can play PF.

Idc about KD's ring and a lot of others dont either. It's why he's insecure as fukk.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I believe in the Thunder now.

Teams interesting to Watching this season


OKC
CLE
BOS
HOU
MIL (imo)

Really would like to know rockets offer
Or they expected a buyout to happen

Because Houston couldn't top that?

Rockets had nothing that NYK wanted. No one wants Ryan Anderson's $60 mil contract. He plays same position as KP so Kanter is a much better much more needed fit.

He has a ring. You shut the fukk up talking about "if he would've stayed" and all that nonsense. It's over. Let it go. You're sounding real stupid right now.

Should have stayed out East

 

[DoubleJ13]

Na he need to stay his ass on OKC. It was a smart move and NY is proud of him.

That's from the end of June right around when they got CP3. They gave up half a roster of alright guys & worthless contracts to get him & still thought they were about to pull another guy with nothing.

shyt is just funny to me that they both ended up going to the Thunder

 

[The G.O.D II]

Don't see this working out at all. Is marshmelo moving full time to the 4 because we saw in Indy PG can't. That bench is still ass juice too

2 Bums for My Knicka

The pacers turned down the 4th pick and other shyt or george. They traded george for nothing out of spite. Thats why gilbert was perplexed. Kyrie was going to phx, bledsoe and pg to the cavs

Has everybody forgotten these 4 key things:

1. Melo can't come up big in key Playoff games. He's a ballhog who can't kill. His Defense is non-existent. He looks amazing in offseason games with nothing on the line or in the 1 game per season before the All-Star game where he goes off.

But a Playoffs Game 7 needs more than you hogging the ball, ignoring players who are feeling it (he infamously screwed the Knicks by shooting bricks in the 4th quarter when JR and Schumpf were on fire in the 3rd quarter.. they lost that decisive Playoff game).

Short version: nikka can't deliver when it matters. Great offensive player when it doesn't matter.

2. Paul George has a horrendous record in Playoff crunch time.

I read a stat in the last playoffs: Paul George is 0-of-15 when the game is under 30 seconds and the difference in points is less than 3 points. Translation: nikka can sit up there all day talking abou 'I should have taken that shot' but the FACTS are that he really should not take those shots.

Short version: nikka can't deliver when it matters. Great offensive player when it doesn't matter.

3. Westbrook mixes with PG13 and Melo 13 like a t-shirt can mix well with a wall...

This is going to get hella ugly in the Playoffs.

They may light up the Clippers during the regular season, but in the Playoffs when an already badly organized offense is even more out of whack.. this won't work.

4. Donovan runs an offensive that can literally be described as 'Pass to Russ, pray Roberson hits a free throw'. There's no system. Their last games showed some of the ugliest basketball all year. We all love Westbrook's game, but the Thunder has no strategy and they don't have a plan.. also on Defense..

This will get ugly.

There will not be a Thunder Warriors final, and if that miraculous situation happens: sweep time. But it will never get that far.

Pure garbage
