Melo to OKC

[lebron23james]

Durant firing up those fake twitter accounts as we speak lol

 

[Heatles84]

Just as he was a month ago. I have no idea what he was getting at. I hope he wasn't seriously trying to say Melo was the 2nd best player in the East

Yeah, I don't even have Melo in my top 5 in the East let alone number 2.

Melo is one of the more talented players in the nba. He just never cared about winning. I am interested to see how he plays on a good team. He may be too old at this point tho

Just show some toughness, knock down your shots and leave it at that. All he has to do.

He will be a hell of a lot better than some of those scrubs outside of RW taking shots, Plus he will be the 3rd option.

I wonder how many assists a game Westbrook could average now if that was his focus. Not saying it should be his sole focus but he has help now. He never really had anyone besides Durant that he could really count on to knock down a shot.

Portland wasn't on his list. Lilliard and CJ tried to change his mind but he only wanted to go to 3 teams. Portland obviously had pieces to make the deal

There were rumors this entire week, at least according to Portland local sports folks, that Melo was close to signing a deal with Portland.

 

[thunderc]

Thunder $27 million into the luxury tax this season now.

The following is from a disgruntled Bulls fan:

The Bulls trade a big man in Taj Gibson, Doug McDermott and a 2nd round pick and get 3 backups including only 1 who's around 6 months later. Sam Presti trades a big man in Enes Kanter, Doug McDermott, a 2nd round pick and gets a multi time All Star who's still capable of giving you 25 points on any given night.

Those rumors were obviously false. He never placed them on his list

This is going to be very interesting to watch. Certainly doesn't help the Thunder defensively but it doesn't hurt them either. I have to assume they are going to acquire another center to help Adams.

Roberson, George, Adams, Westbrook can cover up any Melo defensive liabilities and Melo, George, Westbrook mitigate Roberson's non existent offense.

Thunder will be frightening.

Still a rung lower than the Warriors.

But, they have a great shot to beat anyone else.

Congrats, Thunder fans!!!!!!!

The knicks are losers

Period.

Durant losing to his old team?...

Durant losing to his old team?...

Ummm, no...lol

 

[lebron23james]

Ummm, no...lol

You gotta admit, that would be pretty funny. I guess it depends on health more, i would give them a small chance tho

BUT HOW IN THE FUCKS DO WE STILL HAVE SINGLER?

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME? ARE HIM AND PRESTI LIVING TOGETHER OR SOME SHIT?

 

[Mecca]

I think we all can agree that not paying Harden was a Franchise altering mistake.

But, this is one of the best jobs I've ever seen of mitigating the devastating loss of TWO franchise players in Harden and Durant, at least on paper.

Props to Sam Presti.

 

[thunderc]

No we cannot agree on that Mecca. It looks like it on paper but there were a lot of extenuating circumstances. He was never going to be a team guy in OKC and he wanted out, that's the nuts of it. I'll go on record betting the house no one ever wins with him either, ever.
