lmao PG pulling that 12 D chess to set things up nice when he ends up on the Lakers.
And Ryan Anderson is a much better shooter than Melo has ever been (Ryno has range out to 30 feet to further stretch the defense) and Ryno won't take possessions away from CP3 or Harden.

I wouldn't trade Ryno for Melo but I'd take him on a buyout. It sucks to use the young guys but Mike D didn't give them a second in the playoff rotation so I guess 8 solid guys is what we roll with
CP3
Harden Gordon
Ariza Melo? FA?
Ryno
Capela Nene

But this wasn't a problem when Melo played next to comparable players on Team USA. I think Melo's capable of playing the way you want him to play but it's not like he's ever had that option during his time in Denver and New York.
By Method Go To PostClips made it out all right. Never mind the upcoming decade of darkness if Jerry West dies.
By rodeoclown Go To PostThe Kings bid against themselves to give a guy $12M a year. They had his draft rights.
nobody beyond good roleplayers will go to the kings right now, and none of those guys will be long term guys
Why not use the cap to get someone you're excited about early and start development right away. That way by the time cap space actually matters again you know what you've got.
By Doomsayer Go To PostIn Denver he had Billups and AI, I don't buy that argument.And he had one of his best stretches and made it to the WCF?
By diehard Go To PostHarrell too? damn, goodbye depth.You say this like D'Antoni doesn't run a six man rotation come April anyway.
By Doomsayer Go To PostIn Denver he had Billups and AI, I don't buy that argument.
Are we going to pretend 2009 Billups and AI are in anyway comparable to CP3 and Harden?
By Method Go To Post
Okay, okay, okay... okay.
By domino Go To Postlmao PG pulling that 12 D chess to set things up nice when he ends up on the Lakers.

Paul's relationship with Doc Rivers started to deteriorate rapidly after the Clippers acquired Austin Rivers. Several members of the team felt Austin acted entitled because his dad was both the coach and the President of Basketball Operations. In the view of the tenured players, Austin Rivers never tried to fit in, and when players tried to address the situation with him, he still did not respond the way the core of the team wanted him to. It led to resentment within the locker room, which often played out during games. One of Paul's biggest contentions with Doc was that Paul, and other players, felt Doc treated Austin more favorably than other players. He would yell at guys for certain things during games and practices, but not get on Austin in the same manner for similar transgressions..
But what really solidified Paul's dissatisfaction with Doc was a proposed trade involving Carmelo Anthony last season. New York offered Carmelo and Sasha Vujacic to the Clippers in exchange for Jamal Crawford, Paul Pierce and Austin Rivers, a deal to which Rivers ultimately said no. That event led Paul to feel that keeping his son on the roster was more important to Doc than improving the team. So, ultimately, Paul lost both trust and faith in Doc. As one league executive put it, "Chris despises Doc."
(I was also told that when Paul met with the team to inform them of his plans, Jerry West was not in attendance. It was only Doc and Lawrence Frank.)

Which is more reason to take the ball away from him!
He was the best player on that team hence he commanded the most number of possessions.
He'd be the third best player on this team and his role in the offense should reflect that
By rodeoclown Go To PostHas giving one man the power to be GM and coach worked out yet?Pop and Pat Riley.
By Adam Blade Go To Post… Yeah, Doc sucks.He's just using this opportunity to make up for all the time he wasn't able to be around Austin while he was growing up. A father figure we can all look up to.
By s y Go To PostPop and Pat Riley.So you just have to hope you get stumble into a generational basketball mind. Dang.
By Kabro Go To PostlmaoLOL
By rodeoclown Go To PostSo you just have to hope you get stumble into a generational basketball mind. Dang.Pretty much lol. I'm not sure how well SVG is working out with Detroit.
By s y Go To PostPop and Pat Riley.
Pop isn't GM. Pat The Don stands alone.

Phil got fired for less than this, what the fuck Doc?
By Moris Go To PostNets gotta offer Iggy the max, it's the only way they can affect the league.

By Moris Go To PostPop isn't GM. Pat The Don stands alone.He was when he started. Not sure when Buford officially took over GM duties for him. Or if it was even a clean transition as Buford was just a cap guy for a while, iirc.
By s y Go To PostPretty much lol. I'm not sure how well SVG is working out with Detroit.None of his draft picks have hit. Those Drummond and Reggie Jackson contracts are gross and he had buyer's remorse like two minutes after he signed those guys to them. Tobias Harris is pretty good, though. You win that one, Stan Van.
By Moris Go To PostNets gotta offer Iggy the max, it's the only way they can affect the league.Supposedly we have mutual interest with Redick. He has a house in Brooklyn and has been working out with Lin.
I don't see how we both sign JJ and also throw out a RFA contract and also get involved in salary dumps but trust in Marks.
By Sho_Nuff82 Go To PostPhil got fired for less than this, what the fuck Doc?… LESS???
