If Carmelo keeps balling like this, there's no way we can keep him this summer right?
We can't offer a MIN salary guy a 10 Million$ contract right?
 
It’s crazy how our rough start seems to have turned out to be a blessing. We likely wouldn’t have signed Anthony if we didn’t struggle. Now we have a solid veteran that’s gonna help our team innumerable ways.

Melo is a great leader. It’s good to have someone that is older than Dame that has accomplished more than Dame. Dame is a great, great, great leader but he doesn’t have that 40 year old wisdom quite yet - and someone like Tolliver simply isn’t going to be a leader. Anthony is replacing Gasol seemlessly.

Id use “accomplished more” lightly. He’s done more (Olympics) but they’ve both made it to the WCF 1x.

Meh. Melo is a first ballot hall of famer. It’s not clear if Dame is a hall of famer yet at all. Melo has accomplished more.
 
I still think Melo was Olshey's plan anywayz. With knowing he's not going nowhere Golden just kept him waiting to make him humble and to accept lesser role. (Humble Melo wouldn't like to lose his job again, but man, his big ego is going out anyway. Even when asked about fans "Melo chant" he responded talking bout himself and how good he is:))

Melo said he chose 00 because he couldn't wear 7 and he liked 007.....James Bond....so he went with the 00......Rick Adelman, Lamarcus Aldridge wore #12.....don't remember Lamarcus getting grief for it even though Rick wasn't a superstar....he did have a part of Portland legacy...numbers get used...there are only so many...I think it's no big deal that Enes or Melo wore 00....I loved Duck but honestly Duck wasn't a superstar either...just a loyal, very good center...when it's all said and done if they want to retire Duck's number....they can still do that

Um after we win in June, we’re retiring Melo’s jersey someday.

Let me get this straight: Melo responded to a question about the crowd chanting Melo by talking about Melo? Go figure.

A classier more diplomatic response would have been to instead talk about how great the fans are, and express his appreciation for their support. A person's response in that situation says a lot about their personality and character IMO.
 
Finally got to watch a Melo game. You know what I am reminded of? Charles Barkley in Houston (not as slow as the last year or two when Charles was just standing there in the post feeling the defense) - but the same kind of thing - which is not a bad thing for this team - as it is clearly something they have not had since the LMA days.
