Melo is Delusional
Nobody ever thought he wasn’t one of the top 300 players in the world. Teams didn’t want him because he’s 35 and you have to cater to him some and he’s a liability on defense. Not good enough to carry a contender and had already proven he hadn’t been good at adapting his game to become a role player.
Maybe he has now, but more likely the Blazers season goes down in flames. He will get 15+ PPG on a team going nowhere, which is why nobody wanted him.

Team going nowhere and the Portland Trailblazers are forever synonymous.

Blazers were going to be a 5-8 seed this year even if Nurkic and Collins weren't out for the entire first half of the season. They're playing a Skal Labissiere right now and hoping Whiteside actually cares (he doesn't).RoadDawg55 said:Says he’s always been counted out and been against all odds. He was an overrated player, albeit All Star for years. At one point was considered possibly the best half court offensive player in the game.

The depth pickups were embarrassing. Bazemore and some other dead weight that were outscored by the Clips bench 15-30something.
He is actually trying to play defense and be a team player and all that. He is what he is. 20 points on a random great night.

NOC about a washed up all star that got no rings. He will be be like glen rice if this generation.

Glen Rice has a ring. I get what your saying tho. He had a good career but he never even led a team to a one seed. He always played for middle of the ring teams and he was a big reason why those teams were there.FireCohen said:NOC about a washed up all star that got no rings.

Melo won a natty and got to the NBA play offs while Lebron missed them his first two years at Cleveland. Melo got plenty of respect until he didn't Fans hate the waste of talent whether it is true or not. The perception is that Melo got fat and lazy.
To be fair he played on some good Nuggets teams that ran into Kobe.2 and the Lakers. And he beefed with George Karl just like Gary -
Melo should have played in the 90's.

Something about him bothers me which is why I made the thread. Earlier this year after a good game against the Bulls, he was talking about how much he has meant to the city of Chicago and that he will always be remembered in Chicago.
The Bulls won 6 titles. They only care about Jordan and maybe Pippen and Phil. Really just MJ tho. D Rose is the “what if” footnote. Melo’s flirtations with Chicago on free agency won’t be remembered by anyone.
