    good fit: low cost scorer. could outplay his contract

    Clarification

    We are getting worse because we lost Ariza and Moute. It is not Melo's faults.

    Will he be as bad of a fit as Lin?

    Article was fine, but found it weird that he calls out Klay Thompson as a poor defender

    "Additionally, he has been and should continue to be a very good and willing passer"

    I promise guys I didn't write this article but I love this was pointed out. He never gets credit for his passing prowess.

    Geez, cf fans be spoiled... we get CP3, moute, tucker, capela breaks out, 1 win away from being in the finals beating on the Cavs. all-star caliber player in the offseason on a vet min whose good friends with CP3? Let’s just be grateful when the ink dries and cheer for the guy. He’s gonna be a 20/10 guy. Harden - 30/6 ast. CP3 20 ppg10 Assist Melo 20/10. That’s 70ppg. That’s 80 ppg plus 6 harden assists. That’s 102 ppg. Just these guys. Not to mention EGO. We’re gonna break another 3pt shot record in the reg season.

    Yeah surprised Klay Thompson being referred to as a poor defender. Melo definitely boosts the Rockets offense capabilities and hopefully MDA will incorporate him well. One of the reasons the Rockets did so well last year in addition to the offense is that the Rockets were the 6th best defense in regular season and 2nd best in the playoffs. Hopefully with Melo coming in at the vet min, the Rockets can add another 3 and D wing. With just Tucker and Ennis, the Rockets could do with another type of player like that especially in the event of an injury.

    Great highlights, includes a block on Harden, iso against Tucker, and the whole offensive package from last season.

    Thanks for the video.

    I can see MDA using Carmelo in a similar way he tried to use Joe Johnson. Have him got to work on the block on an iso shooting short mid range shots, getting to the basket or spotting up for a 3 pt shot and eliminating any long two point shots.

    Great to read someone acknowledge Melo’s passing ability. He’s offensive gifts have never been purely about scoring the rock. His passing and ability to dictate out of the post will stand out significantly this season, and will probably silence a lot of critics on here.

    While we break more scoring records I’ll be breaking my own popcorn eating record...

    The way he shoots 3s is crazy. If anyone pulled a ZaZa on him both of his ankles would be sprained especially since he is literally jumping with both feet 2FT past the 3 pt line when he lands plus Melo is a heavier set guy. Surprised he really has been quite durable his entire career.
