After seeing CP3 get there last night, can we find a way to get Melo to the mountaintop before he calls it a career? Yeah, I stan. So what? I want to see Melo in an NBA Finals before he's done. #NBA pic.twitter.com/97dOQSU2a0

Purple and Gold gives him a puncher’s chance

Melo and Vince to me, two players that were amongst their peers in greatness. Circumstances always made it hard to build winners around them.
Melo was up there for a moment in terms of raw, offensive talent, but his self-centered priorities were always going to stick a pin in any championship aspirations. By the time he came around, the tread was off the tires. Even joining with a Lebron who can no longer dominate a 7 game series and an AD who can’t be counted on to stay healthy in a contiguous season, that’s unlikely to change.
He can still score 15-20 a night, Stan. You seriously gonna pass? Really??
That’s correct. He’s only playing 20 mins a night. I’d rather have him launching 3’s than Pebbles (Kuzma wears Pearls)
At this point I’d take a D league castoff over Kuz that doesn’t do something stupid half the time he’s out there, but Melo doesn’t really move the needle any more either. Banking on Melo making a difference, you’re better off selling high on the klutch clowns.
He’s also going threw a messy divorce. Being on the opposite end of the country playing on a team with a chance…I’d take that potential boon over signing Avery Bradley. Which might happen as well.
I’m way into it. Melo has changed from his NYC days where he insisted on so many things both on and off the court. Seems like he’s looking for a fit and we could be it.
ALso, what’s the probability the Clipps buyout Rondo next season? I say 99.99999%
Why so confident that will happen?
Multiple DNP in favor of Reggie, he’s owed $15 mil. Maybe try and work a S&T w/someone but not sure who would take that offer.
Good bet.
Yeah..they never got Playoff Rondo
I am all for taking a chance on melo but I would also not ignore Avery Bradley and Rondo if we can bring them back for a second time.
