They were going to win 50+ regardless. Just still think this is being wayyyy overhyped. Like all of a sudden Melo is an elite player again? No

I really thought Melo’s best fit was with the Rockets. He could spot shoot threes playing with two elite guards. It’s exactly what he does in the Olympics all the time.

It probably was but that ridiculous Ryno contract cock blocked it.

OKC was always his 2nd or 3rd choice behind Houston. This is known.

Melo as your # 1 isn’t good. # 2 it’s better but not great.

But as your 3rd option? Yeah that’s gonna be alright in my book.

Melo gonna play the 4 now with PG13 at the 3?


Melo will play 4, 3, and even 5 this year I’m guessing. He can play 3 with PPat at the 4.

OKC is the second best team in the West and it may not be close if those guys gel. Billy is going to have to earn his paycheck now

Not when he wants to hoist shots unconsciously

The success of the team still comes down to Westbrook. Does he want to be a 50% scorer feeding off scoring in the lane & FT, or a 42% scorer shooting the ball away from the rim, which he isn't good at.

We have CC at four this year. That defense didn't get much better if at all. PG13 is one of the few guys that can guard elite wings. And Rox still have to prove they can get past that team down the highway that owns them.

GS
OKC
Spurs
Rox

Honestly, I think the Rockets dodged a bullet. They need to thank Ryan Anderson and his monster contract

How would adding CP3 to last year’s team make us the 5th or 6th seed?

OKC needs scoring. The Rockets don't. This is pretty easy to understand how it's a better trade for OKC.

THey need George to be Lebron
Westbrook to be Wade
Carmelo to be bosh

Only problem is Lebron & Wade are 2 of the most efficient players of this generation and well, neither of those guys have ever come close to that
