nah he was pretty good

and u think Melo would be as enthusiastic as Dudley playing 10 mins and garbage time mins?:unimpressed:

tbh i didnt have my eye on the game 100% by the 4th but i saw him make 2 terrible passes in a row and was like :mjtf:

But you right, Melo gonna want at least 25mpg

And yet there are players on rosters that are much worst in anything than Melo, and aren't even capable of scoring. Lance Thomas is on a roster. He's slow, can't score, can't pass, can't shoot, or slash, or handle the ball, and can't defend.
1- I don't know nothing about Lance Thomas' game lol
2 - most of those guys have at least 1 NBA skill they can provide in a role player capacity, even if it's just size and energy
3 - most of those guys will at least accept being a role player/bench guy and do what they can when called on. Melo literally laughed at the idea of coming off the bench a year ago and even now its a problem/news story if Melo is ever played like a real role guy meaning he'll sometimes only play 10 mns a night or may even get a DNP.
4 - Its clear Melo COULD help a team in some ways but only if he is willing to and accepts those roles. So far he hasn't been and that's the real reason he's not in the league. That and the fact that him on the roster brings a ton of attention and media for a guy that at this point isn't really worth that headache.

One thing I’m not clear on...

Is Melo ONLY wanting to play for potential contenders?

or is he willing to suit up if the Suns, Bulls, Hornets, or Cavs hit his line at this point?


I’m sure there has to be at least ONE :trash: team that will take him on a vet minimum

Anybody who believes that bullshyt needs their head examining

There are reasons why teams dont want to take a chance but it aint cause of defense

He should just join the big 3 and remind people, Joe Johnson got another shot maybe Melo will too

PPL KEEP SAYING THIS...

BUT YOURE FORGETTING MELO
WOULD BE ON AN ISLAND OUT THERE
GETTING TORCHED BY NON NBA PLAYERS.

THAT WOULD BE THE LAST THING
TO GET HIM BACK INTO THE LEAGUE.

MELO AND HIS REPS HAVE SAID
HE WANTS TO PLAY FOR A CONTENDER.

HE COULD HAVE EASILY PULLED A VINCE CARTER MOVE AND BENCHED UP
FOR SOME BUM SQUAD.
