I was going to post this, but figured I would be crucified for doing it.


Is it possible that if he is trying to bulk up, its an indication of who we might draft of be looking at in FA.

Can't see having Anthony at 4 if you are signing Monroe, but it could mean we like Winston, who would play at the 4.


On the other hand, and all the Steinboys will be happy, maybe it means Melo at 4 and we draft someone who can block shots at 5.

EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?

I was actually surprised you didn't post that photo initially- if you're going to pretend he's fat, at least choose the worst photo!

On a more serious note, I think he will have plumped up from inactivity after the surgery (he does seem to put on weight quickly), and has since converted a lot of that to muscle as lifting weights was likely all he could do for a while. Remember Amar'e did that during the lockout season following the back injury. I guess I was wondering if he plans on keeping the added bulk or not, and whether thats a good idea.

If you train the right way you will add more fast twitch muscle which will allow you to stay quick and explosive. Lebron is like that. He's not slowed down by his muscle because he trains the right way. He trains for strength and explosiveness. You body can be heavy and still be explosive, just look at NFL stars who can still jump and run fast despite the fact that they're heavier than your typical NBA player.

Melo does look a bit more geeked up IMO. His shoulders and biceps look a little bigger. Good to see him putting up shots.

It is good to see him on the court taking shots already. I'm hoping this extra muscle is to put him at the 4 next season. There really is no reason to ask a 31 year old Melo to be running around screens on the perimeter after he had knee surgery.
