Agree. Don't understand why Houston Rockers are eyeing for Carmelo Anthony. Although chemistry can be learned along the way, I found it difficult to blend if Melo will not adjust. Last season, he was doing a purely catch and shoot unlike back then that his offense is associated with breaching the defense closed to the hoop.
If that transfer to Houston Rockets will happened and if Melo will agree (he should), he can be put on the second squad, yes coming from the bench to boost offense on it. I just don't know if that will be the scenario since Melo is always on a starting lineup since then.
Yeah Carmelo still have those hot hands on the perimeter but he is getting slower and that could be the reason for the lack of penetration on the inside. Ball could be stolen easily if he cant find that speed anymore.
The good thing here is D'Antoni already knew how Carmelo plays and where to position him. If it is the 2nd team and Melo agrees then it will be good. But for a superstar, his ego might get in the way.
Nah, I dont think Carmelo will accept if he's assigned in the 2nd squad, he has an ego that always says he always belong to the starting line up. Carmelo is a good superstar, he just need to blend in the perfect pieces for him as you guys said, because he just cant lead a team to win a ring. He's Denver Nugget team was his best team so far,they just cant get passed the Lakers, after he changed tean everything was awful for him.
I agree. We still remember during a post game interview and someone has ask him that question along the line. He was laughing at the guy but we all know that his best days are behind him. He still thinks that he can deliver but we all know how he faired last year. Iso guy, short jump shots, dribble penetrate. So I don't think that the will accept role coming from the bench.
