    Here's my biggest question to those who really don't want Melo here. When harden or Cp3 drives and then it is being kicked out for that open three who would y'all trust more shooting that wide open 3 besides Eric Gordon? Broken down Ryno, Joe Johnson, Ariza? Ennis? Luc with a now a chronic dislocated arm? Especially at a vet minimum. Is there anyone else that we could have gotten at that price and won't make you close your eyes scream profanities, cringe or make your butthole pucker in fear when they shoot? Golden state has a platoon of people who can hit that shot. We had 0 in game 7.

    But you don't understand! Some people's dislike of Melo is so unique that it becomes a living, breathing thing that requires a thread of its very own.

    Coming off the bench is all semantics. Chris Paul pretty much plays the bench role because we essentially run two rotations. It really doesn't matter if melo literally comes off the bench or not, he just needs to play within his role that is in tune with our offense

    This is my point if Melo runs with Chris Pauls squad he wont be on the floor in the 1st quarter past the first 4 minutes. So essentially he is going to be in the benchs rotation anyway

    People out here mad AF front office didn't pay $15 mil for Ariza but don't want Melo for $2.4 mil.

    It would be 100x better if they just wrote "I hate Melo" every time they try to have some arguments about Melo not being good for Vets min.

    Gosh I cant wait until the season starts so we can see how this all turns out. I'm fully expecting someone to create a thread quoting everyone that said Melo wouldn't work out OR quoting everyone that said Melo would work out. Either way its going to be interesting and funny.

    Pains me to see Nic Wright take this subserviant, background role on a debate... Don't ya think they would have already discussed his role BEFORE him signing with the team?!? Wow, like this is just all still up in the air and wherever the cards fall, I just hope Houston doesn't regret it... #dryheeve

    Watch them start Melo and sit him first, and then make him first IN to finish the 1st and /or start the second quarter, with CP3 and Harden available to finish the half or game, watch...

    Everyone whom you just mentioned will fade back into the woodwork like those opposed to the
    Paul signing last year, impossible to keep track... winning cures all my friend...

    @Le$$ also thought that signing MDA was a sign the team was going to tank, that Harden at PG wasn't going to work, and that CP3 was going to leave after one season and join LeBron, Wade, and Melo with the Lakers. He wanted us to trade Chris for Julius Randle.

    The fact that he doesn't think Melo fits here only gives me more confidence.
