2013-2014 NBA Thread - IND @ WAS and OKC @ LAC on ESPN

I wouldn't. But ISO ball in the West for 5 weeks will be enough to land them out of the playoffs. And considering the West has LMA, Love, Duncan, Ibaka, etc. playing PF, to say there would be no defensive drop off from Blake to Melo is kind of crazy.

Melo is not really a bad defender. Imo CP3 and Melo would make the Clips a much deadlier offensive team.

If the Clips pick up Bynum for the vet minimal. Smh they could make Finals.

Not believing anything if it's just Broussard reporting

 

[darthska]

BG32 for Melo?

[youngtriz]

i dont see why doc wouldnt use cp3 and melo like a rondo and pierce..

 

[cashbanks]

I think playing with Cp3 is exactly what Melo needs

I also think the Clippers would be dumb as hell to trade Blake for Melo it ain't like they have a ton of depth upfront as is plus he doesn't defend and I don't kno if he'd be willing to let Chris be the big dog

Blake is 24yrs old and top 3 at his position why trade him for a 30yr old chucker

 

[blastercombo]

Cp3 hurt?



Dooooooon eeeeeeeeee kaaaaaaar

 

[antidope]

The Clippers dont make that trade, if they trade Griffin then they do it for Love. Griffin is 24 and on the rise, you dont trade that for a guy whos 30 and could be on the decline.

The fact that the Knicks are even considering taking Gasol

, the desperation is real. They're going to get fleeced for Melo I think, but they have no choice, its almost a certainty that he leaves in the off-season.

 

[marath0n]

No Melo pls. We don't have a problem getting enough points on the board. It's the defense and low post play. Melo would make it worse.

Believe it or not Melo is a way better post player than Blake.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Believe it or not Melo is a way better post player than Blake.

They play different positions, so what's the point of making this obvious statement

 

[awwsome]

Melo for Blake ain't even happening, no point in talking about it

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Melo for Blake ain't even happening, no point in talking about it

It's still enjoyable to discuss to see how much people under or overvalue griffin and anthony

 

[awwsome]

Blake has gone from overrated to underrated, I was outspoken on my opinion of him not playing to his potential the past 2 years but to say he's not one of the best PF's in the game right now is blasphemous

 

[100027]

I don't get how Blake isn't a more valuable asset considering his age and at least potential ceiling for growth.

 

[awwsome]

He is and his contract is better, Clips would be fools to think about trading him for anybody not named Lebron or KD, there's nobody out there who's going to give them a better shot at winning.

You could say maybe Love or LMA but they not giving you much more if anything, Love would maybe get more rebounds and stretch the floor but he's going to be a Laker.

All of this. Repped.

And it's not going to happen. Both Doc and Donald Sterling love Blake. They wouldn't trade him for anyone other than LeBron or Durant.

 

[rook]

Blake gonna put the team on his back with Paul out. Just watch.

 

[awwsome]

I'm rooting for Blake but CP3 just makes the game so easy for him, defenses will key in on him a lot more.

 

[black migo]

Jamal gonna put the team on his back with Paul out. Just watch.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Jamal Crawford has some of the worst shot selection I've ever seen. Can't wait to see how the team reacts without Paul

 

[awwsome]

Crawford's contested 30 footers

 

[black migo]

If jamal steps up his game consistently hes gonna be in the all star game

 

[100027]

If jamal steps up his game consistently hes gonna be in the all star game

of course you love Jamal, he's your perfect player.

Dude has been in the league for 10+ years, he's not gonna suddenly become consistent and be an all star .
