    very doubtful any starter gets pulled that quickly other than foul trouble

    There's no downside. If he makes the team worse, dantoni won't play him. Simple as that. Upside is bigger than downside

    I don't like Melo but of the players available to play basketball in the world for the veterans minimum he is worth a flyer.

    Oh I get it, Melo doesn't fit because he's fat.

    Isn't that a binary choice?

    I mean, he could NOT shut up, adjust a little, try to prove he's not done, and still be a major cog in a title team here.

    Probably answered already but when does Melo officially clear waivers?

    I don't think that will be the case.

    Also, keep in mind that we had blown losses against GS w/o Melo....losses that having Melo probably would have prevented.

    No one cares. He's going to be on this team soon, deal with it.

    Like I said, always another choice. He could also sign with Lakers or even retire.

    Executive of the Year Daryl Morey, coach of the Year (last year) MDA, league MVP Harden and team leader CP3......feel Melo will be a good addition.

    I'll lean on their expertise and give them the benefit of the doubt.

    thank you.

    If Melo averages 20+ he could win most improved player

    Well, it worked for Oladipo when he left Westbrook.
