Some of y'all sound like the media, and it doesn't seem like y'all been watching. "He's not a 2-way player". Melo has been dug into defense since joining the Knicks. And if he's not a 2-way player, please tell me what superstars are? Lebron? KD? Curry? The only 2 that are legitimately 2-way are Westbrook and AD. He's completely ISO? He's been without a PG for the past 2 seasons. 3 seasons ago, they had Kidd and Melo was the best catch-n-shoot player in the league, percentage wise. He's also played off the ball when he played with Dre Miller and Billups. He's also no more an ISO player than Lebron, Curry, Durant, Harden. Beloved Dirk was an ISO player, plays 0 defense, a 7' that's a horrible rebounder and has been to Finals 2x with all ISO teams. Watch Curry dribble-dribble-behind-the-back-dribble-pull-up-from 3 then claim he's not an ISO player. The only teams that play Hoosiers basketball are the teams without a #1 scorer. Those teams also struggle to get a basket when they need one.

He's also averaged 4 apg a few seasons. Ball movement isn't pass-pass-pass shoot. It's also about moving without the ball. Your teammates camping out around the arc, waiting for a penetration-kick is still ISO ball. Ya'll need to stop it. You trade Melo and spend the next 5 years trying to get a player like him.

Of course you can build around Melo. Get a PG or a SG that can create their own shot, and a low-post scorer (they don't exist anymore) for him to play off. They don't have to be superstars

Not shytting on the pick, because who the hell knows how this dude will turn out

but what was the point of resigning Melo? Tonight is a clear indication this is a multi year rebuild

I wasn't thrilled with Porzingas pick but after getting Grant I understand. Grant is taking a role similar to Mudiay and I'd rather swing for the home run with pick 4 then settle for Winslow who I see as undersized at SF and WCS who just hasn't shown much on the offensive end after years in college ball (though I still like him). Grant is an immediate contributor. Porzingas has a super high ceiling. Then you add that Guillermo cat who I've seen called the best draft and stash option and supposedly has legitimate NBA talent...I think Phil did a great job. I'd love to see him buy one last second rounder though.

Oh and if David West is coming for the right price, which it sounds like he is, that's a great locker room leader to add. The character of the locker this year compared to what we had heading into the offseason last season is like night and day.
