Anybody have the latest Melo stats for the season? I remember people just KILLING him when he let how washed up and useless he was. Just curious how his season is going? Hoping he is playing well.

I’ll take Nance coming off the bench over Carmelo any day. Sure, Carmelo can score. But that’s about it. He’s not a willing passer and down right awful at defense.

He got good stats. Good for him and his legacy. Good he doesn't pump his stats in Portland;) I hope he will have mements of greatness in play in

I didn’t think we traded Nance for Melo. I too love the addition of Nance. I thought we traded DJJ for him?

Melo wasn't traded, he took the Lakers call right away after Stotts was fired....I like Melo. He is a good 6 man but pairing him with Kanter was like spotting points to the other team....you put iin between Nas and Larry Nance and you can hide his defense..he's a decent rebounder and underrated passer. According to Melo.....Neil never even called him in the offseason...Wes said the same thing when he got hurt...Neil never called him either. I guess it's common to let guys walk but someone like Melo should get at least a call from the organization. That baffles me.

Not saying I wanted Melo back, but not even getting a call from him is bush league.

Of course he wasn’t traded. He was comparing his play with our team to an incoming player we traded for. They aren’t the 2 players that should be compared. Whoever we sent out for Nance is who the comparison should be.

why, just because we traded someone for someone else?

nance plays melos position.
So if we traded cj for jokic and traded nurk for simmons, jokic should be compared to nurk and cj to ben simmons shouldn't they?


Its not 1-1 its the fit.
Better example. If we traded simins and a bunch of picks to minni for KAT and we let nurk walk. Do you compare kats production to simons? Or to nurk?


Not sure im following your logic of it having to be a straight comparison.
And im pretty sure the team wouldn't look at it like that either.

I never mentioned anything about trading those two players for each other. It was a series of moves that upgraded our bench.

Getting rid of Melo was the smartest thing we could’ve done. He’s a one trick pony and it doesn’t look like he’s found out how to keep his opponent in check in LA either.

I’d say give it 30 games before we judge. Just like our Blazers. Thats what I’m doing.

Melo has become Jamal Crawford and benches need that guy but you have to pair him with a Nance type defender to hide his defense ...

What melo said specifically was
they didn’t get back to me on the way that I thought they were going to get back to me.

Not that he didn't get a call at all. Maybe the way they got back to him was thanks but no thanks, and he thought we'd run it back one more year?

On his What's in your glass podcast he said he was waiting for a call that never came and when the Lakers called he ran with it.....he made no mention of being contacted or told to move on at all
unless I missed something

I quoted him from an interview with, I believe, Chris Haynes. He said not in the way he expected. Not never called. Now, maybe I'm misinterpreting what he's saying, but just going off of his quote

seriously, if we were playoff bound I’d very much be regretting letting Melo go. Show me a plus/minus player on our bench that is contributing more than Melo! Name one bench player that plays better defense than Melo…

love that guy
