Skillske

durant does not elevate his play on the big stage
nor does he elevate the play of his teammates
there is still a gap between him and bron

Can't argue against this.

 

[freeze]

to make it simple, so those still kind of thick understand...


sub out kd for bron, thunder sweep the playoffs last year and take a chip pretty easily.


cavs prolly 1st round exit. losing to Pistons.

 

[tyevvyotcu]

i never understood why dudes use to complain about russ taking so many shots while kd was there because many times kd would just sit in the corner or act like he didn't want the ball

Sub KD for Iggy and Bron gets dunked on

Nope. A player was in the way. Nobody would be able to dunk that.

It takes a special kinda character to be a leader of a NBA franchise. I just don't think Wall or Cousins have those characteristics. Great players, but I think they need someone else (whether its a coach or another player) to feed off of and look up to in that regard. That's why I don't even see them having a lot of success even if they joined forces.

Wall/Boogie had one of the most hype teams in NCAA and couldn't even make it to the Final 4.

Westbrook is the same. He's a great player with alpha dog character. But, being an alpha dog doesn't necessarily make you a "great" leader. Its just that you have the characteristics of not being a follower.

Agree 100%

Especially about Westbrook. Sometimes him being so Alpha is a detriment

An Eduardo Najera sighting....

Who even really needs Melo right now? 

Mayyyyyyybe Boston. I can't think think of any other team. 

Think someone already mentioned it here but I'd like to see Melo play the 4 for the Raps, jus cause. They probably don't need more iso than Demar, and their team as a whole probably needs more of a defensive 4 but it's something. Raps need to do something this year

Noel is such a damn crybaby, he's making it impossible to trade him

 

[carver]

They need to just play him and raise his value..I'd rather see a lineup of Noel and embiid over JoJo/jah

 

[Peep Game]

A deal with Houston would have to involve Capela

No way they trade him for Melo

Exactly. Now Ennis and Brewer plus a 2019 second rounder? Most def

 

[addict4sneakers]

Alphabet should get MVP votes off the strength of taking Stacy King down 5 notches

Melo is the Phillip Rivers of the NBA

Damn this **** just blew my mind. He really is.

 

[antidope]

Philip Rivers is the man. Doesn't get enough credit.

 

[carver]

Dudes in here need to put some respeck on Philip Rivers name 

 

Melo wishes he were KD

 KDs last 4-5 years are better than any Prime Melo years..and he was never considered a top 2 player. Stop that.

KD still a ***** tho

Porzingis is comparable to Rudy Gobert & Draymond Green on defense :x

Yet they paid Noah 75 million to play his position.

If only the Knicks FO looked at analytics.

Damn this **** just blew my mind. He really is.

On point like a MFer.

- Great stats

- Everybody else in their draft classes got rings.

- Both have only been to one conference final.

Future GOAT

Gobert is not only good with rim protection but his PNR defense gotta be up there.. I feel him on any team basically guarantees a really good defense.

Rockets

E.G. Ain't playing games and these dudes hungry.

I would never trade Capela for Melo at this point. What would the Rockets need Melo for
