What's the gist of the response(s)? (I dropped Twitter-X/FB many moons ago)

Super childish/thoughtless language but $100K seems excessive.
Nata deactivated his account after some other Hornets posters dug up tweets from 2010 of him saying same thing as Melo. This was after Nata was saying it was unacceptable what Melo said. Just odd behavior all around.

Got it. Happy to have all that 'odd behavior' out of my life.

Really hope Miller gets it together soon. He's been borderline awful this season.

Moussa immediately makes the middle less squishy for the Cavs

Miller this season is exactly what I expected him to look like last year. This version of him is like our worst case scenario of what we thought he would be last year when we were debating the pick.

The entire offensive system depends on the guy with the ball at the top beating his man off the dribble. If that doesn't happen it's a grenade at the shot clock.

You know it's bad when Cody Martin is the best offensive player on the floor for your team

And the most effective way to score is hoping diabete grabs an offensive rebound

Mind boggling that we're in this game. Just terrible, terrible offense by us. Melo is the only one who can execute our hero-ball scheme.

This season: 14.5 shots per game, 9.1 three's.

Last season: 14.6 shots, 6.7 threes.

That's the whole difference, he's been made into a spot up shooter in Lee's offense, which isn't his game.

Melo's outrageously poor shot selection is only fun when he's making them. Otherwise he looks like the biggest a****** ball hog at the park that nobody wants to play with.

Two games in a row where Josh green has looked like an actual NBA player on offense. Progress.

We have more offensive rebounds than defensive rebounds.

Miller's shooting is starting to concern me.

It's like he relies on the 3ball even when he's cold. He has to find a way to get easier baskets. He looks worse this year than his rookie season.

For those who say im a Miller diehard, I just gave you the cold hard truth!
