Because im pretty sure hes getting run outta OKC after this season...And he looks like hes at the point where he just need to ride someones coat tails to a ring...

but they won't.

he's gonna opt out and take less to play with a Banana Boat Bro or something, he will be right there at 100 W. Reno Ave. getting that 28 milli.

You're a year early with this post

I got drunk as hell celebrating the Barkley pick.

.

I'm sure Nas would be proud of your efforts there.

Visiting family and we hit the sports bar for the draft and the celts-Bucks game. And I have no idea why I was checking OKP while we were out.

.

i was thinking like man this dude is talking awfully familiar. then i read his sig. still didnt catch it. maybe four hours later it dawned on me outta nowhere. i gotta stop smokin man

bcz you gon have to suck on Melos nuts in another city next season like i told you

I’ve been hoping he’d get out of OKC for awhile. That offense is a hard watch. They can find a younger, cheaper, better defender who can go stand in the corner and occasionally shoot a 3 since that’s all they’re looking for their other perimeter players to do on offense.

Melo can still be a viable player. He just has to change his opinion of what he is as a player, at this point. He could be similar to Miami Heat Ray Allen, imo.

Hug?

And still going to Springfield.

And still a scoring champ.

him

that I personally don't think he's a #2...on any team, in any situation.

Kevin Durant and James Harden are not walking through that door! lol

#2, if he does leave, you actually think Sam will let the team stay as is? There will be money available...and there's a ton of free agents.

I'm serious

you replied to, that I do not think Paul is leaving...wouldn't that be the answer to your question?

tell me ONE player who said that? I'll wait. How the hell does he have a reputation of not being fun to play with. Reputation with who? Niggas on Playstation. Why is he liked and respected among actual NBA players? Stop making shit up.

i’m pretty sure Russ just proved his point.

and PG and Melo were traded there.

nobody ain’t trying to play in OKC with no point guard who’s first interest is stat padding

.

*rimshot*

he's had a good run but let's let his career die in peace now.

right now he can't even knock down open looks as a third option. he has never shot like allen. he has never been as selfless as allen. he is not the professional or fitness freak that allen was. melo has more in common with a boston cream doughnut than he has with ray allen

www.engadgethd.com - the other stuff i'm looking at

also that was low-key the most pathetic melo moment last season (plenty to choose from), when heading into the season the sneaker press reported that the M13 was the last Melo signature shoe and he made it a point to deny it. and then no m14 came out. i mean responding to sneaker twitter is a little suspect, lying in your response to say some shit is in the works when it isn't is really suspect. i gotta say though the melo line low key had some great performers and in my view is underrated.

LOL@okps making definitive statements halfway through the first round

I can't imagine how that could turn out badly for you

.

Melo had more points in 20 less minutes.

Discuss.

since melo/pg became a debate, there hasn't been a moment where melo was better. that's saying something, because PG has definitely slid the wrong way

no way he is leaving that money on the table and no way is anyone else stupid enough to take the contract without unloading a real whopper of a shit deal on presti

Melo to GS

That would make the league more competitive.

the phone conversations pertaining to Carmelo Anthony getting traded.

because he’s declining and nowhere near worth his contract anymore.

He can still play and bring value to a team though.

Hope he finds a role on a good team.

He made it VERY clear that he was not coming off the bench, this year. I got no beef with the man. I just wonder what team he can go to where he starts...or if he will change his mind and become a bench dude/role player for a contender.

to go well. Which for someone who was the go to offensive player on his team for 13-14 years? That’s an adjustment. He’s gotta find a way to make it work, and he’s gotta get on the right team. He can still play on the offensive end when he’s got his legs and rhythm.

So if this Houston talk is real I imagine that is how they will use him. Good for him, too, because it's an iso-heavy system.

Minus the young dudes ya'll would be cabs 2.0

and The Lakers sign him on the cheap without actually trading for him, what's the worse that can happen?

It's going to be very surreal to see Carmelo Anthony in that purple and gold, given all the circumstances and story lines with that team though.

man of we could get Dion back...

I like Dion. He was a good guy and he liked being there. You mufuckas stay on some open mic night comedian shit, I swear.

This is all fun and games. It's truly not that serious.

but, that was an overreaction...so, my bad on that. Seems like everybody gotta go for the hot joke 95% of the time...get's kinda annoying.

South beach ain't a resting home for relics. naw. if this was 5 or 6 years ago then yeah.

Houston 2nd unit is the best spot for him

https://twitter.com/mcten/status/1016122401988403200?s=19

screamin a made the point the other day. as close as melo and bron are, he and chris are even better friends. he also was almost a rocket last offseason, and they did just lose trev.

i still don't see (like, AT ALL) how he works in that system but i guess we'll find out.

Melo is the exact opposite.

when they’re in the midst of going from up 15 to down 30 because they keep shooting and missing 3’s every single possession.

And also perhaps gives them a better balance on offense in terms of how they get their points. On that team, with those guards and shooting, he should be able to kill it in the mid range when he’s got it going because there’s a lot of space in there. An underrated aspect of the Warriors offense because the 3’s and spacing makes it all go by stretching the D, but they do a lot of damage in the mid range too.

Defensively, it’s obviously a big downgrade from Ariza though.

James or Chris drive and kick out to the three. Melo isn't going to be able to get the ball at the elbow and jab step his man to death, take two dribbles and pullup. He's gonna have to be waiting on the wing for the kickout. Not saying he can't do that, but that's what he said he didn't want to do last season. He won't be handling the ball...not with Harden on the floor...and he doesn't want to come off the bench. Ionno...maybe Pringles nem' convince him.

wasnt supposed to work together either???? people need to shut the fk up and let the professionals handle the basketball....all these niggas have played at the park before, or all stars or olympics...its not hard to figure out how to hoop together....

you bugging if you think dantoni wants melo pounding the rock for 10 seconds of the shot clock to take a contested mid range.

wouldn't work...there's receipts. Melo ain't James or Chris. Both of those dudes can go iso and...break a man down and score or distribute...Melo isn't that. He's doesn't pass anywhere near as good as either one of them.

Better options

this shit is happening quick.

if that's what the deal is.

that they re-signed Fatman Scoop Raymond Felton so quickly in the off-season. If my memory is accurate, they re-signed Felton well before Paul George made his decision.

has stuck around so long. May be because of that. I remember he was "un-siced" around here for the longest.

now that it's official, Dennis gives OKC something they've lacked since they shipped Reggie to Detroit. I'm down.

http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/24141942/oklahoma-city-thunder-trade-carmelo-anthony-atlanta-hawks-dennis-schroder-mike-muscala


The Oklahoma City Thunder have agreed to trade Carmelo Anthony and a protected 2022 first-round pick to the Atlanta Hawks for point guard Dennis Schroder and Mike Muscala, league sources tell ESPN.

Anthony will be waived, making him a free agent. The Houston Rockets are the front-runner, sources told ESPN.

Muscala, meanwhile, will be moved onto a third team in the near future, sources said.

The 2022 pick is protected 1-14, and becomes two second-round picks if not conveyed in one year.

https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1020049180390195202

OKC gets a rotation player and a bench warmer. Atlanta saves 20+ million and gets them cap space sooner, plus a first. Not really thrilled with the Sixers' end here but they didn't give up much or take on salary beyond this season

May you bond with Russ over fashion and find new teammates to try to ruthlessly dominate in comically overcompetitive games of UNO (god I miss the 60 win team).

Win-win for everybody. Hawks get a ton of cap space after this season and a first after more tanking. OKC gets a super competitive point guard to give Russ a breather (I got tons of complaints on Dennis over the years but being the main option on a tanking team isn't going to play to his strengths) and get Melo off the books. Melo gets PAID to go anywhere he wants.

http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-41024086-4

Carmelo's contract is official on Atlanta's books now and it's up to that front office to determine how to stretch his remaining money, correct?

for cap space next season.

that fully details the options for the Hawks and Carmelo Anthony.

The NBA's rewarding of mediocrity continues

that melo is one of the only nba superstars who signed for the absolute maximum salary on every single contract of his career.

dude ain't left a dime on the table. el rey indiscutible de asegurar la bolsa.

him to take less to bring in another star..

Dude's money is straight, Jordan still paying him, too even with no signature model.
