Melo is needed to score off the bench. Let Ellington, Bradley and Ariza go.

Keep Melo and Howard For veteran depth with Johnson, Gabriel and Reaves. And sign some more youngsters.

Man I don't know where or what you have been aware of but just ask the Portland Trail Blazers about Carmelo Anthony or even the Houston Rockets.

He wasn't a cancer for Portland. He revived his career there.

Ayton and Bridges are pretty damn good.

Yes, but they didn't start that way. They were developed. The only player the Suns brought in who could be considered a great player was Chris Paul. Nearly everybody else was developed over a 5-6 year period.

Really. The key is HE revived HIS CAREER there. At the expense of what?

You may not have watched many of their games but he actually helped them win

 

[Retroram52]

I'll take your word for it DJ but I suspect he will not be re-signed unless the Rambi hogtie Pelinka again.

The Lakers were 10.5 point 'dogs.....should have wagered on them.

Denver sitting their starters.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers up by just 2. Looking pretty good so far.

 

[Retroram52]

Lakers up by three at the end of the first beginning of the second. Nuggies sit their starters and THT is top scorer so far.

 

[Retroram52]

McClung is even playing.

 

[Retroram52]

Ellington with two threes in-a-row. Dude is playing for a re-up I suppose. Lead is now 7. Who knew?

 

[Retroram52]

Once again, even scoring amongst all players and they are playing some decent D. This seldom happens when the big three are in there.

 

[Retroram52]

They are even making both Free Throws.

 

[Retroram52]

Still the Lakers have lapses in perimeter defense.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Backups vs backups.

 

[Retroram52]

Don't know if there is any truth to this article but it seems to be the prevailing rumor out there.
