Melo has always played his best basketball on the USA national team. I think he'll be pretty dangerous as a third option. He can stretch the floor as a small ball 4, crash the glass and take bigger guys off the dribble. I think he'll be fine defensively at the 4. George and Roberson are great defensively on the wing. Adams and Westbrook are average to good defenders. I think this is pretty solidly the 2nd best team in the West.jonh wrote:What does this do for OKC's chances this year?

They're better than they were last year, but I don't really see them as contenders. Melo's D is going to be a problem. I saw a tweet saying that teams with great shooting like Golden State will just pick and roll OKC to death.jonh wrote:What does this do for OKC's chances this year?

I don't think they will be better than they were with KD, although they do have 3 legit scoring threats. I'm interested to see if PG is a real star now that he's in the west and on a team with other stars.Split T wrote:Melo has always played his best basketball on the USA national team.

The Melo trade actually made them better on defense, if you can believe that. That's how bad Kanter and McBuckets were.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote:They're better than they were last year, but I don't really see them as contenders. Melo's D is going to be a problem.

I said all I need to say about it but sure, go to town.Marty [Mori Chu] wrote:I know the Curry / Lebron / POTUS / WH invite stuff is directly NBA-related, and I'm happy to talk about it. But let's do that in the Politics area, since that is likely to be contentious or partisan. Thx.

Agree with your X's and O's however although they were #5 and clearly improved I still can't see them jumping to #2 . Surely gonna be interesting to watch regardlessSplit T wrote:Melo has always played his best basketball on the USA national team. I think he'll be pretty dangerous as a third option.

You think Houston is better? Or Spurs? I think they'll both be good, but just behind okcbajanguy008 wrote:Agree with your X's and O's however although they were #5 and clearly improved I still can't see them jumping to #2 .
