Ahhh yes a few highlight plays in the preseason, good to see solid proof that Melo has fully corrected a career's worth of terrible habits and will no longer regress to lazy, selfish basketball whenever he encounters the slightest opposition

Heck I know you're just joshin' me here, but the Brooklyn Nets are currently 3-0 and will most certainly carry that streak into the regular season. I'm expecting at least 50 wins if they're allowed to keep playing the Knicks every other game.

While I may not think he will be amazing this season, I do think he will be a good 3rd option for this team. One of those teams should be in the West Final. With any luck, both will be.

Counterpoint Russ is better than all those players and okc getting him help while both on and off the court makes okc a better team

RaySmuckles posted:the only problem with the rockets, if it even is a problem, is their predictable offense which refuses to play the mid range. chris paul is deadly in the midrange and i think it will take time for him to adjust his game to the system. Also as an aside, I think everyone is way too down on Ryan Anderson. He is definitely overpaid, and almost certainly that is why Houston couldn't land Melo. And he was inconsistent last year. But he still drills 3s and now has james harden AND chris paul getting him open looks. Hes not a 20mil player but he is a really nice role player.

My Basketball league is also looking for one more if anyone is interested. Draft is also Sunday night though so that might be an issue with someone who wants to join both Also you should all go to the fantasy basketball thread and chat because it's barren and I want to talk with people about it.

Just checked the Spurs schedule to see if there are any games I can go to when I go home for Christmas this year and the only home games are the drat Knicks and Nets.

I'd imagine this is largely optics and Wade will be subbed out early to then come back in with the reserves.

While I may not think he will be amazing this season, I do think he will be a good 3rd option for this team. Look at players 6-10 on those rosters. The Melo trade was good for the Thunder and I think he'll probably rebound somewhat. I'm more interested in seeing whether they can keep Paul George after this year. He's about the same age as Westbrook and you can count on Presti to restock the cupboard with good drafting after this year. I think people have sort of underrated Anderson because of all the talk about them having to pay to get rid of his contract. It's not a good contract but the spacing he provides was pretty important to their offense (perhaps less so now that they can cover all 48 minutes with high-quality point guardery, he may lose some minutes to PJ Tucker, Nene if he's healthy, etc).
