I will agree that hes a bad fit.
at least until PG leaves.
if George actually stays, they should try to trade melo to Washington or Cleveland.
Jerami Grant should've started for Melo. Melo's awful both offensively and defensively. Omitting the fact he makes $30M, he's an awful fit on a team where he is not the focal point of the offense.
I wouldn't come off the bench for grant, if I was melo.
and melo has already proven that he doesn't have to be the focal point, YEARS AGO if yall remember those nuggets teams circa '08.
and he signed on to NOT be the focal point in OKC. its not his fault that he cant catch a rhythm because his point guard is one of the worst distributors in the league. and this has been the thunder's problem for a decade now. why the blame suddenly falls on the shoulders of melo, who just got there, is beyond me.
Its a ego thing
Some of these guys have never come off the bench in 30 years
he has no business coming off the bench for this team.
unless theres a clearly better player that youre replacing him with, or theres a possible ring coming out of this, I wouldn't come off the bench neither.
