At what point does OKC Thunder feel regrets of them trading Kanter for Melo? Melo been a bust and Rockets dodged a bullet by not trading for Melo


Kanter would be more effective and efficient with Thunder than Melo, they both awful defensively, but it would be extra possessions and paint and boards domination...Melo isn't good at anything anymore...

Eh I don’t think my rockets dodged a bullet, we would’ve only swapped melo for Anderson and bench garbage that’s why the trade never went through, we had leverage to not be desperate and wait them out. If he didn’t work out he would’ve gotten buried on the bench anyways.

I’m glad we got Joe Johnson instead though as I hear he’s a great locker room guy.

They could have started Grant at the 4

Grant, George, Roberson could switch everything defensively. Grant just needs to hit threes at least a 30-32% clip (Draymond territory) to stretch the floor a bit.

Kanter off the bench getting double doubles and McDermott would have been another shooter.

The Melo trade was bad for both sides imo. Melo would have been better off in Portland or Houston. OKC would have been better off keeping and acquiring more depth around Westbrook and George. It was a forced trade.

Most of these trades nowadays are trash, short sighted, and impulsive.

Philly. Fucc a Eagle. I mean dat.
Since Melo won that championship for Boeheim as a freshman, while the "heir apparent" LeBron was a high school senior they wanted a Magic/Bird pt2 and they keep giving Melo a pass, when we all know he is a enormous Bust.

He hasn't gotten a pass since the first melodrama where he forced his way to NYC. After that, all passes stopped. And no way has he been a bust are you crazy? You doing too much cuzzin.

nikka what :dahell:

Melo should have been the rookie of the year, and I’m a Bron stan.

Melo is one of the most smooth offensive players in league history. How the hell is he an enormous bust
