Yeah..melo is blackballed..
No way is 38 yr old joe johnson a better option than 35 yr old melo https://www.slamonline.com/nba/all-signs-point-to-joe-johnson-joining-the-pistons/ Joe Johnson’s NBA book has room for another chapter and it appears that Detroit could be the place for him to write it. The 38-year-old worked out for the Pistons on Tuesday and Frank Isola of The Athletic hears that the team is the favorite to sign the veteran shooting guard. ES

It also helps that Melo has a better reputation around the league Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

When he resigned with knicks he said he'd play triangle and sacrifice his game. He did not. OKC was not a good experience. Despite his differences with MDA, they had a reunion in Houstan. Lasted 15 games? he played 7. I was not in the room when he was asked to leave, but he was. Can't blame MDA there either. Maybe there is a trust issue here. teams don't trust melo or his ego. Good dude. Good teammate. Maybe can only play a certain way. HOF career. Can't say I blame him. Not for me to trust him or not. |

knicks1248 wrote:Yeah..melo is blackballed.. Joe Johnson is proven in a bench role as a scorer. The biggest concern about Melo is that he hasn't been able to buy into that same type of role. Melo is trying to convince teams of something Joe is already proven in. |
