Official Melo Trade Thread: WOJ BOMB UPDATE PG 21: Will Waive NTC for HOU and CLE

[NBA Fan 1234]

The thing that the rockets have an advantage over the cavs is DEPTH

They got Gordon, lou, nene coming off the bench. If they gonna score 120 per game with Melo there

They traded Lou.

Why is nobody thinking about the Cavs future 1's? There's been growing buzz that LeBron is leaving the land in a year. Kyrie isn't the type to stay in Cleveland neither. That team can sink FAST and we can Boston/BK them.

Lou Williams was traded to the Clippers in the CP3 deal.

Only player in the league getting bashed for working out.

why even workout when you take your sweet time getting back on defense because you disagree with a call. melos a good guy and still a good player but turns into a soft baby on the court when things aint going his way and even now in his career he continues to let players get in his head

you just described lebron james.

Lebron actually cares, wins and makes players better though. melo hasnt done jack here but get carried to the 2nd round by 40 year old jason kidd

Hill is gone.
We bout to be trashhhhhhh.

I know they're talking but is it official? If so best news I've heard all weekend. Throw Ron out there to the wolves, Frank will learn that way.

[frothbrain]

It's not that HIll is 31, it's that he's played less games than Derrick Rose last season.

[Rasho Brezec]

New Melo Alert.

lol they're probably laughing at the time. There's no reason that anyone has to workout at 2am. It's fine but for an older guy, it's probably like "wtf?" lol

Besides that, Melo needs someone pushing him a little bit more in those workouts. I hated always running alone to get in shape for football season because it's hard to push yourself with cardio. It gets annoying fast and you don't go 100. When someone is running next to you and it becomes a competition, you start giving 100% effort.

it's a non story... doesn't even warrant a comment

Melo was never a leaper. He was quick as all hell, but not a jump out the building type of guy.

New Melo Alert.

Mills is starting to grow on you isn't he, milk lover.

[Rasho Brezec]

I love Steve Mills, I said it already. He's learned I was right 7 years ago. Trade old people, play rookies, tank. It's not rocket science.

The generic workout videos on Instagram are just as stupid and transparent when KP is posting them. They're a joke to me and don't speak well to a player's mindset and/or mental fortitude.

Nobody needs to know anything about your work if you're confident that you're going to be putting your best foot forward when the season starts. Sharing that kind of stuff screams both insecurity and softness to me. Especially when it's so obviously crafted and produced like it was in KP's case - his social media stuff is just as cringeworthy as Melo's to me at this point, maybe even worse.

And to be clear, I'm talking specifically about GENERIC workout videos. If a guy is working out with a legend, practicing a new move, or doing something quirky/weird, then I can understand the impulse to share that. But cardio work? Getting shots up in the gym? Lifting weights? Congratulations, you're doing the job you're being paid to do...and you still feel the need to prove it. Weak.

Really good & true. Nothing KP has done on the court (or at least not much) since being in the league makes me feel nervous about him. But the way he's acted since the season ended does. Like Phil or not, he's acting in a self-interested and even possibly bizarre way.

You can say it. He's acting like a little b*tch

How much of it is Melos Doing? Cause the reality is that Chris puts out videos ON EVERY PLAYER HE WORKS WITH MULTIPLE TIMES. He is consistent in how he shows videos for the players he trains with. Dude put out a video of DAR working out at 1am in the morning. Its no different than the Melo video working out late at night. For all we know He has Melos blessing to do as he chooses, but its not as if we know Melo is saying yeah put this out, yeah put this out. if so... He can just do that himself on his own page like KP. I saw no one complaing when Chris was putting out Multiple videos of Frank Working out. KP is specifically realeaseing his OWN videos so i can't even equate them as the same.

[CrazyKnicks]

Just trade him to Clev for Frye, Shump, RJ and the other dude. Smaller non long term contracts, we tank and have a bunch of guys to plug in the rotation.

[Wolfgang630]

Doesn't Lebron and Wade put out generic workout videos? I guess lebron is weak too.
