And lakers have two of those in Lebron and Rondo. I think he would be a good closer for this team. And not to mention, Melo can allow Lebron to rest a bit more.
Melo couldnt help a team that Austin rivers is thriving on right now.
Rather call up Scott Machado from the g-league.
Melo eclipsed the 25 point mark this year already which Ingram can’t with all his mid range ISO’s and post up calls. Basically you put Melo in the spots where BI is shooting, posting up, and you are going to honestly say Melo wouldn’t?
I could agree with you if you say he can’t play stretch 4 and fill what Kuz goes and does off the ball with his cuts and 3 point shooting.
But you got to miss me with the thought Melo wouldn’t put produce BI shooting mid range pull ups, fade aways, post ups from the elbow, and free throws drawn from pinch post ISO’s. He’s better than BI at all that even now.
Hell Beasley if they gave him 30 minutes would put produce Ingram in the same spots he’s operating in
