hahaha When Melo makes a shot or a good pass, it's a nice call by Hornacek. When he misses, he's going Iso or breaking the offense.
Anyway, good tank game. There's a lot more wrong with this team than Melo.
very true. Its always bad coach or bad KP
Hey, I love KP. But I think everyone would agree he's got a lot to improve. Bad fouls, bad shot selection, not setting great picks, etc. He's still an amazing young talent and I have all the hopes for him in the world. He's just got stuff to work on. So does Melo. So does the whole team - that's why we're 22-31 or whatever it is now.
The problem is KP needs Melo to get out of the way and Melo the same for the team to move forward. If they want to win around Melo they have to move KP and get talent that allows Melo to play 4 full time.
Melo's best position is 4, and KP's best position for now is 4, maybe when he is stronger a few years from now he can play 5 full time.
So long as you keep Melo at 3, KP at 4, and a big at 5, you suck defensively because you are to slow. Maybe if you got two great defender that can stop the ball at 1 and 2. I don't think that's easy.
This team won't ever win anything with Melo at 3 and KP at 4. And if you have to choose, you go withg KP. KP is 21 and has a great contract and you don't know how good he will be. Melo you know what he is. I don't see a single good reason to keep Melo around other than he's an exciting scorer to watch play.
Anyway, factor Willy. Willy's 22. He's looking real good. We have enough talent at 5/4 with Willy, KP, O'Quinn, Kuz and Noah.
What we need is a defensive 3 like Jae Crowder. We need a real point guard who defends hard, brings leadership. We need those two things far more than we need what Melo brings.
Is Melo a problem? Not in value. In value he's a good player. But for the team to move forward they have to trade him. They'll be stuck in this rut for good any other way.
