It wasn’t in time....should have let him go to Bulls/Rockets years ago but I get your drift.

I’m actually shocked at how fast his skills deteriorated, he’s only 34...it’s like he lost his killer instincts. He’s just a low fg% chucker now. Melo used to thrive at getting to the hoop and scoring inside, getting to the free throw line, his swagger as a player is gone, he just chucks long range low % shots...he needs to watch old clips of himself and see he’s not playing his style that made him a 10 time all star.. it was never his shooting ability, it was his scoring ability.

But at the same time, he didn’t fit into system in ny the first time why on earth would he think it would work this time. Also it’s not just melo who is falling apart on the rockets it’s the whole team.... they are playing terrible basketball.

The surgery he got a few years ago took away his quick first step. He could work as a PF but he would have to be willing to play inside, and I think the year he did that for us he injured his shoulder...... so no easy answers to his problem besides time is undefeated.

Definitely, if he can no longer be who he wants to be on the court. That’s a perfect reason to call it a career. If he left tomorrow he’d still be considered one of the greatest of all time, legacy would not be tarnished.

God time flies man, I still remember him winning a national championship with cuse like it was yesterday.

He could probably play for a few more seasons if his ego allowed him to be a vet/bench guy. Like Paul pierce was, but I doubt it. The media is the ones saying call it a career but I think he could still play if he wanted too. Though on top of all of that he has money so leaving now isn't out the idea cause his next contract would be less than mid level the way he is playing.

I'm not sure Melo's team leaked that out. Could have easily been Morey or . That said, we got the best player in the Enes Kanter trade. That alone shows how much Melo has fallen.

And that player is Mitch Robinson
