In his past 14 games (jumping into the starting line-up) Rivers is putting up 18, 4 and 3 on 46% from the field 40% from 3. He needs to protect the ball more but he's 24 years old and actually started playing some defense too. Kid ain't garbage for damn sure.

I'm sad for Melo, I really am. The guy is getting hounded after every practice, every game about this rubbish. It's not his doing, it's his bosses doing. Carmelo chose to be here, he wants to be here, but the work environment is toxic beyond repair.

Why build around Kristaps? The guy is super smart, you think he wants to spend his whole working life dealing with this mess??

Phil is the problem, there is absolutely no doubt about it.

Sack Phil, keep Melo, keep losing, move KOQ, start Willy, let Rose expire, draft a PG and lets go!

Every year, every day is a loss.
I wish we somehow got our pick back last year and tank with it.

Its better to trade Melo-Rose-Lee and get assets than finishing the season with 30-52 record.
Melo's trade value wont increase and i dont want him to bring wins. Trading him as soon as possible ensures our tanking job. I know we're losing with him right now but he's still good player that may bring meaningless wins.

He goes off in the playoffs.

That was one game. Folks need to relax on rivers being a key piece in anything.

Maybe trading for Rivers will mean his sister will be at some of the games

Priorities, people

Love or Griffin please. Or a Celtics package of young players/picks.

I definitely wouldn't mind watching Fultz, Rivers, KP and Willy for next couple of years.

I also wouldn't mind seeing Melo going to LAC. Would make watching the NBA more interesting also.

I could see a team like the Pelicans taking a chance on him some team like that

All the best players are PGs. Our pick and Melo for Nets pick!

we would probably get both in the trade. Knicks aren't taking back crawfords contract.

But Rivers is not garbage. He has gotten a lot better since he came into the league. He defends a bit and shots over 40% from 3. He is getting better and better and only 24.

JJ I would ship off the another team like Milwaukee for another 1st rounder. Plus I want there 2020 and 2022 picks

Rivers is definitely not garbage, kid plays with the chip on his shoulders because ppl making fun of him, he has heart and ppl who says he's garbage clearly talked out of their arses.

He was one of top performers on the Clips playoffs run last season.

I hope people know what i'm referring to when i say he turns into Lincoln Hawk in the playoffs. Once Lincoln flips his hat his personality changes.

Rivers has been showing out in the playoffs lately.

Oh no I wasn't referring to you, I was referring to bNo and Sark whom usually talk senseless just for the trollol

Rivers plays defense and can play the 2.
