The 4/5 spots and the PG are critical in this offense. The 2/3 could be just about anyone with decent ability.

If Melo is the 4 here then listen, he'd better score 24 a game because that front court will give up a ton of points. I don't really think that's a winning combination.

wallce--you guys have a tough game tonight against that drexel squad--they are very good. Looking forward as well to seeing how Uconn holds up against a very good Harvard team.

i'm assuming Melo would be used as a 3 replacing Gallo's slot... & not sure how u can reason that marginal 2/3's would explode playing in this system but a player w/Melo's talent & ability would stay the same or even have trouble scoring his career average

anyway, just because we go out & get someone like Melo (if that does happen) it doesn't mean we can't address the role player need at the C position too... w/Amare scoring in the frontcourt you won't need an offensively talented C to win with... all u need is someone who can defend the position & run the floor... i think there's bound to be options available to us using the MLE this summer.

After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

This would take us out of the Melo sweepstakes, but I do believe in this offense, the frontcourt and point guard are critical, while the wings can be anyone with size and shooting touch. Paying big money for Melo would be odd when we can get nearly that production out of the Wilson Chandler's of the world who do not demand that kind of salary.

I'd prefer AV (and flexibility)over Melo but would still take the above. We got tons of wings and it should allow us to retain our choice on several. Jordan might even approve it.

Bill Simmons on Tyreke Evans "The prototypical 0-guard: Someone who handles the ball all the time, looks for his own shot, gets to the rim at will and operates best if his teammates spread the floor to watch him."

Getting AV will make up for the huge let down I suffered when Luis Scola resigned and went off the FA market, though they play different positions, they are the types I covet. Get AV please.
TKF on Melo ::....he is a punk, a jerk, a self absorbed out of shape, self aggrandizing, unprofessional, volume chucking coach killing playoff loser!!
