Don't like him, just thinking of some shooters - then again not sure how his been last couple years.


After the Rockets incident - NO! We're not looking for a punching bag for Ingram. Melo is a fake tough guy.


Didn't see the incident

But Ingram needs some toughing up :)

No, no, no, no. Don’t even think about it.

No D. No legs. No pass. No Melo.

Since when did this roster need an old slow poke ball stopping primadonna who doesn’t play defense? Plus,

Isn’t LBJ, Kuz, Beasley, Williams enough at the four? And Hart and Ingram? Hell, we could go huge with JMG. Plus,

He’s not a great locker room guy.

Look in all other directions, please, Pelagic!

Does he just have the yips then? That doesn't look like a physical issue...

He looks like he went to the Charles Barkley Golf School of Freethrow Shooting.

Montrezl Harrell would be a perfect fit on the Lakers.

I’m hoping Ariza gets bought out and we can get him.

At first he seems to be pacifying Ingram then towards the end he keeps on following Ingram and keeps on yapping. I mean, if you want to punch someone just punch him and don't talk that much. Like how Ingram punched CP3. Well, I guess all Melo knows is to punch then ran away as fast as he can back to the bench.

Yesterday? 'Melo didn't return Lakers call over summer, Lakers not interested now.'
Today? 'Lakers may be interested in Melo.'

I choose option 1.

Lakers and five other teams COULD HAVE INTEREST isn’t exactly much of a rumor threat but I’d rather us not be on any Melo list in any news.

I'm going to predict Durant goes to the Blazers. He likes the pacific northwest and it's the one place he can go that he'd have talent, but not so much the media would kill him. NY would be a possibility but i don't think he's so dumb as to play for Dolan.

I think he's coming here... Unless they let Klay and Dray walk and back up the truck for him, then he may stay. But does he really want to stay on a team without Klay and Dray?

I just keep going back to boogie's contract though and thinking how awesome it would be to be able to trade for him now... Predicated of course on the IF he can still play at a high level, issue...

I would never have thought it was a possibility before the season, but I think it's a real possibility we get KD now.

Ok, I'm in, I guess... :lol:
But how does it work?.. AD forces a trade, and we sign KD in the off season?

Or, should I be asking which team?
