He's got 2 years left on his contract. I'm not sure how you're getting that—they're just not gonna pay 2 coaches.

I think Presti's quote about Melo is kind of a sign that Melo will either have to put up with it or shut up and leave.

Lots of references to the future and none include mention of Melo when listing of players

At 30%. I refuse to believe that Russ has never tried to improve his 3pt shooting before now.

Has a pretty big improvement in 2017. May have been a lengthy hot streak, but it's also possible he was working on it over the summer then put less time in last summer with the new baby.

Athletically he is, impossible to tell career wise until we have a trend.

That's awful news to some people.

When asked about the comments by rusillo, Presti said he talked to George yesterday but didn’t say George said otherwise. Did I understand that right?

westbrook is a 35-36% catch and shoot three point shooter the last few seasons. 36% this year he was actually worse last year. last year he hit a ton of pull-ups, and it appears flukey. 35% on pull up threes in 2016-17. he's never been above 30% in any other season.
