I wish Lindsey was a bit more aggressive. Presti really makes things happen.

Lopez will be the tough one unless he re-signs very cheap because they are going to have to renounce him to clear his cap hold.

OKC vs.Utah

Westbrook vs. Rubio
Roberson vs. Hood
George vs. Ingles
Melo vs. Favors
Adams vs. Gobert

I think Jazz we'll be relying on the 2nd unit to compete against OKC.

I think Melo is a great fit w/ Westbrook.

In what generation of Melo's NBA career can you cite evidence that Carmelo Anthony is a good fit for success anywhere?

He has been on really good teams in the past. Its not like the Knicks were a functional organization before getting him. I think OKC fits his style. They run a lot of simple offense. He can take pressure off Russ and space the floor. Obviously there is going to be some sort of balancing act for touches, but talent usually trumps all. OKC also has a good amount of defensive talent that will let him take a lot of easy matchups and on offense the best defender will usually be on George or Russ.

right. until they all leave at the end of the season and then Presti loses his job.

They traded for Melo and still managed to make a defensive upgrade. Melo was at his best on those all star and olympic teams he is big and tall and knows how to shoot, always a way to make room for those guys on the floor.

Some say it is good "on paper" like the Clippers were but I think this team is team is going to be up there with GSW.

Melo had a no trade clause and Utah wasn't on his list, so there's that. I doubt there's anything DL could have done for Melo to consider Utah.



Anyway,come back next year when OKC is trying to rebuild out of a deep hole after trading away everything and anything that resembles an asset for guys who are going to bolt after one year.

If GS wasn't so stacked, then it may have been worth it for a ring, but this team went all in on one year which will likely send them into a long, drawn out rebuild. In the end, I think OKC will greatly regret not cleaning Boston out of all their picks to start an amazing rebuild instead of the nightmare they're likely to face otherwise.

Your post doesn't convince me of anything, unless you somehow pointed out that Westbrook, George, and Carmelo can someone do something miraculous with one basketball when trying to score.

I think I can smell the gin on Billy Donovan as we speak.
