If Carmelo still can play and can help a team win a championship. Lebron would want him with the Lakers. Watch Portland will release him after his 10 days contract is over.

Cant wait to see all the Melo good will disappear and for everyone to go back to hating once they see him play again.

The media needs to stop. Melo is not taking a lesser role with anyone. The media need to stop branding people as Hall of Famers.

Perk makes no sense. A pro bballer like him should see that Melo can’t play defence even if he wanted to. Please don’t compare Lebron’s defence to Melo. Just stop it.

Melo HAS to come off the bench and be strictly a 6 man role player. The second he starts a game, things will go left big time.

Melo got the post midrange jumper, that should be enough for shooters to stay open

Most american basketball fans are only intrested in a winning team. Who cares if Melo cant play defense.

Mello can play “D”. It just takes a lot of energy and he needs this to get open on offense cuz defences know that if they don’t play him tightly, he’s gonna make em pay dearly. So, it’ll be interesting to see how Portland adjusts for this whole dynamic.
