Wish him luck. I think he's still a useful spot player if he can manage to stay healthy.

What’s crazy is that’s one of the teams Melo was rumored to go to. There must have been some really nutty stuff behind closed doors that we will never know about.
CrushAlot @ 9/26/2019 10:19 PM
If they sign Lance they will have added 1/5 of a 17 win team.

what could possibly so nutty that we have not heard about..

Melo is 10X better than lance on 1 foot and one arm...

and yet the Nets, who are lacking at SF over the short term, just said NOPE and are taking a deeper look at Lance Thomas.

What is your conclusion there? Why would the Nets want LT more than what you perceive Melo offers?

Good for Lance. They are getting a real team player. Called the Nets as the destination for Melo. Surprised that he hasnt been signed if in fact KD/Kyrie asked for him. Doubt its about money. Knew Melo would scare some teams off, but not like this.

THIS IS A AN ALERT!!! THIS IS AN ALERT!!! STATISTICS ALERT!!! STATISTICS ALERT!!! AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWUUUUUUUUUUUUUGAHHHHHHHHH PLEASE STAY TUNED AS THE MELO HATE CONTINGENT WILL NOW PROVE TO EVERYONE HOW LANCE FUCKING THOMAS IS STATISTICALLY SUPERIOR TO ME70!!!

Let me take a flyer on this one, and guess they didn't
1) want to add any more drama to the Kyrie clubhouse circus
2) want to take a chance that Melo screwing the pooch is more likely than Melo doing well/Nyets piss on Dolan more
3) want to ensure they have an easier and smaller load to dump when the Mayor returns from PED rehab
4) were overly impressed with how LT handles DNP-CD's as opposed to Melo

Did we have any idea Antonio Brown is like THAT before very recently? We just knew he was probably kind of a dick.. If Melo is that big of an ass behind closed doors, it doesn’t matter how well he’s playing. He wouldn’t be getting the Collin Kaepernick treatment if something wasn’t going on. Why is it so easy for Vince Carter to sign with a team?

Vince made himself a supper-efficient backup when he realized that his time to fly was over.
He was a much more superior player to Melo in the time of their prime.
And infinitely more enjoyable to watch.
Melo always made me sleep with his redundant volume shooting and rebounding his own misses 3 times before getting fouled.
One of the most boring players I ever witness. Why would anyone want him now is hard to imagine.

Yeah, I loved sleeping through a 54 win season, where he was the only one to show up in the playoffs. 62 points, boring as hell. Nothing like clutch shots at the end of game to nap through.

And please go on to tell how exciting Lance Thomas is.

Glad you were following Vinsanity through his journeyman years. I was busy sleeping through Knick games to take in all those exciting moments of NBA history.

Nalod @ 9/30/2019 12:40 PM
I have no doubt melo could have adapted to a journeyman role if he wanted to. He can rebound and pass. I have seen this. What I have not seen is him do as part of a team concept. Melo did something very egregious in his last two stops to not get a chance to play again. Was it his defense? Inability to play a role lessor than his ego thought?

I was enjoying gritty vets flashback to 90th and Kidd running the show.
Melo was his usual self. One of the greatest scorers in the game and one of the lowers impact star players ever.
This team would win around same amount of games with any other top 20 player at 3 at this time and will be bounced in playoffs when the old bodies fall apart.
Then Melo was no help as no one else would.
Player of his level having just 1 winning season out of 7 with a team is nothing shot of huge embarrassment.
Why would anyone do this with himself... Never get it.

Nalod @ 9/30/2019 1:18 PM
When you beat the Pacers in a semifinal game, this is how take care of your body....

In all fairness, and for the 100th time it was not just melo to blame. The roster that was around him was never right.
JR smith had talent. Just not a brain.

How many winning season??? last i checked, we went to the playoffs in melos first 3(10/11, 11/12/ 12/13) season with the knicks, it wasn't until Mills came on board and it's been down hill every yr since.

I don't see Antonio Browns teammates vouching for him like Melo..

+2 and +6 in short season is not winning. It worst that losing as team is in lottery no mans land.
And of course its all Mills fault. If not him Knicks will be a dynasty...

Right, going to the playoffs is not winning, when we hadn't been there in the previous 6 seasons and 1 out of 7 is actually better to say than what actually is.
Because less is more than more is more. Lowers impact star players. Ever. Riiiiiiiiiiiight. Saying shit for the sake of saying shit is great. But at least try to get the basic math concepts correct.

or are you compiling all this into a screenplay for 1984? 2 + 2 = 5. Check.
