You watch the same Melo? Would you say he's a hustle player? And why are you saying Y'all when I was the one who called him lazy shooter (should've used scorer) that doesn't play defense?

He's not lazy. Just doesn't have a high motor.

That's what you see. But it doesn't mean he doesn't play defense or is lazy.

He's just not a high motor athlete.


What is the functional difference?

If you watch the highlight of tj mcconells GW shot vs us that epitomizes Melo's effort on defense. It is inexcusible.

Cavs are in a weird spot with Love. Had a very good season, still young, but showed he adds little against the Warriors. Plus Bron seems antsy.

They don't seem to want to let him go in any scenario that would bring in Melo.

something like this makes sense with a 2020 pick from HOU and maybe a future pick from Portland for taking on leonard.

Portland saves a bit of cash and gets significantly more productive player. HOU gets there guy for Anderson and pick. And we get harkless (take on a semi sucky contract but also get a couple pick(s).

really? Thats another 8 million a year for a player that will be playing the same position as Dotson and Lee. I guess if you can move Lee then maybe.

But having 18-19 million tied up in crabbe is a lot. Leonard sucks but 10 million is at least manageable

If Melo plays PF, he won't seem nearly as slow. The biggest issue is that he's no longer even close to a 3.
