But that is not really good. We are talking about professionals who went to a lot of hardships to claim the position now.

Let's forget about Melo and Dwight a bit and use a young and upcoming player as an example. If he is good enough for the team, he will be drafted and will get a guaranteed contract. If he isn't good for the team but the management thinks there's a 50-50 chance that the player can improve, the non-guaranteed contract can be used by the team and see if it will work out or not. If it works, he'll get a better contract. If it doesn't, then that player has to work even harder. That is still fair for both parties.

If we're going to talk about veterans who're getting non-guaranteed contracts now, remember that they once had a guaranteed contract and earned a lot from it. They already got paid a good amount of money for their hard work.

Are you really fine with that system?

https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/michael-jordan-doesnt-agree-with-players-sitting-out-due-to-load-management-youre-paid-to-play-82-games/

Even MJ disagree's with it, therefore this load management has to be reviewed by the NBA as it might affect the reputation of the business and the sales might go down, you know what saying. Grin

Leonard sits in many games during his tenure with the Raptors, but there was no criticism on that, maybe people just got tired of seeing it because Leonard is more visible now since he has become a superstar in the NBA and no doubt about that.

This rules has to be reviewed, that's my say.

So what the nba will make a list of players that have to play a certain amount of minutes every night. There are some bench players that dont play at all. So there will actually be a list with players names, and a required minutes per game on this supposed list. It will NEVER happen sorry. Baseball gives star players rest. We talking about baseball non contact sport. NBA is a tough game and takes a lot out of you. Whether you like it or not sitting a player will never become illegal in the sport.

Come on man, they are professionals of course they know their roles in the team and that would make them grow as a team and as a teammate.

There are also other professionals who doesn't follow their rule, they want to lead a team and they want to be called as the main man, but PG is different because he was very effective playing in the OKC before and its only westbrook who had a very bad season.

I can only think of one NBA player that looks like does not know how to cooperate with his teammate, and I believe its Carmelo Anthony which was a star but until now he was not signed in any team yet.

Quote from: Ranly123 on November 15, 2019, 05:54:01 AM

PG is not someone that a kind of player who takes the game without concerning about the teams goals. I mean this guys we're talking about want to win championship and all he needs to do is to cooperate with his teammates.

He hasn't won an MVP award yet but we know he plays like an MVP, when he is needed he always perform like what he did during his time with the Pacers if you still remember. I believe he was not the main man back then but he develop to become a star in the team.

His performance is worth for what he was now, and as the improvement move along his journey with the team I think he had a greatest asset to become an MVP. Although there's an impression that he used to have skills that an MVP had, I guess it's always possible to happen in the next upcoming games that he would about to play. That's how it works when this guy rules the court, so let's see what this man can do to make his team worthy for championship.

Woops! Sounds like the same deal with Dwight Howard if I am not mistaken.
A daily contract? What is happening with the NBA? Why are they doing this kind of deals with professionals.
Is Melo really that bad for him to be in probationary period?
I dont think so. The guy is being too underrated. There are more players there which is not better than him and yet then have yearly contracts.

But as you said, it may be his last chance for redemption. Time to practice more and let them see what he is capable of.

Those guys are kind of in the later stage of their careers and these type of contracts benefits both to management in case they want to terminate immediately and to the player who wants to prove himself again. I think this is also needed to bring some players who once had an inflated ego back to earth.

I wasn't expecting the signing to be the honest since both Dame and CJ are good to play. This may turn out good for the Blazers since they're struggling at the moment.

It is hard to understand what's on Melo's mind right now. He is rich and is not young. But he still wants to continue playing professional basketball. Maybe he feels he needs to prove something? But his recent resume, is doesn't sound good. I hope he just retires. Or at least he should not accept daily contracts. It is degrading.

It's his chance now to show that he still has that skills to help a team, he also needs to understand that he will not be leading the team now, CJ is still the main man of the team and he was just sign to help a team which is struggling early this season.

Right to the point.
I guess that is what management really want. They could just fire them whenever they want and get another guy with the same contract.
But that is not really good. We are talking about professionals who went to a lot of hardships to claim the position now.
It is just that, they lack the boost to make them a champion player with a lot of fire to play the game.

Melo is still someone who could make changes with the game. It is just that analysts made him a bad player.

Next game will be at home, and hopefully they will be back in the winning track again.
For sure they can win against the Hawks.

Definitely, they can win this because Hawks has been struggling lately and I don't think Hawks will hand the Clippers their 3 losing streak.
I wonder what would be the betting odds for this game, I'm sure a -10 is a spread that the Clippers can cover now that PG and Leonard will be playing together.

3 straight losses is no longer healthy for Clippers now that they will going to play at home and PG is there to help the campaign to be back in the winning status, I can agree that spread like that for the handicap can be manage. Leonard's leadership will be test again here since they will be playing in front of
the entire clippers fans. Hopefully the combo of this stars will make a good impacts.

There is no question on Leonard's leadership because he had proven it many times when PG was still not available.
I also like to believe that PG is a good teammate and he knows his place and understand that Leonard is the main man in the team like what he did back in OKC when Westbrook was the main man.

We've seen already that PG is still capable of scoring, he got the same stats he had during his time with the Thunder and I think this is a better duo than the WB and Harden, so watch out for these guys when they play together.

PG was 10-17 in the field, ending the night with 33 points, not bad for a debut from injury and he was also perfect in FT.

Next game will be at home, and hopefully they will be back in the winning track again.
For sure they can win against the Hawks.

Against a team that's not even deadly, that's a fine tune-up match for PG right there. Even without Kawhi the clippers seems to be a more organized team than the Pelicans and PG shows that he has the superstar pedigree in him even coming from an injury.

Definitely! And there's a huge difference between this two duo defensively. Since Harden and Westbrook rarely plays tight defense. Instead, they are more focused on the offensive end.

And hopefully we will be seeing both Leonard and Paul George playing against the Hawks. Let's see how their tandem works.

Everyone missing on the news/rumors that Melo will signing with the Blazers?

The details is not that clear yet though, some say he will have a non-guaranteed deal. While others mentioned that it's a one-year $2.2 Million contract.

It was a non-guaranteed deal as per this article --> https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/carmelo-anthony-signs-with-blazers-what-league-scouts-execs-think-about-chances-for-success-in-portland/

While some articles that I've read, they say that it's still a rumor. Can't wait for the final announcement of Melo, I feel happy about this guy that struggled to get a contract this season.

Paul George makes his debut for the Clippers against New Orleans Pelicans, it's a good news for the Clippers. with Lou Williams Leonard Khawi and Paul George they can make a good season even they can go soo far and win the NBA title.

Yes it is. But their game with Pelicans show that Clippers need their star Kawhi to really outpace the enemy. Anyway, not so disappointed since Lou William also step up on adding a whooping 31 points for Clippers. Last minutes are to crucial and some turn over has been occurred to the part of Clippers, that lead to this lost. Holiday really work out on the floor with 36 score points for the blazers. Shockingly bench player Jackson added some 23 points for thr win. Anyway, hoping Kawhi can play on their next game and fully recovered the sore on his injury.

Base on the article here:

The non-guaranteed deal will reportedly pay Anthony $14,490 for each day he is on the Blazers' roster, according to Bobby Marks at ESPN. Link

Maybe time for redemption for him? He is 35 years old right now and he can play around 4-5 years at most if he can stay on the NBA unless he will do what Carter is doing Cheesy

Woops! Sounds like the same deal with Dwight Howard if I am not mistaken.

His debut game with the Pelicans right now end up with a loss as they lost against NOP 132-127 although he did a great job alongside with Williams with both of them have 33 & 31 points respectively.

I have read like 3-4 articles and they all said Carmelo has signed to a non-guaranteed contract, which will put him in a probationary period. He will join the Blazers on saturday ,but it's still uncertain on when he will be able to join the action inside the court.
Carmelo was out of the NBA for more than a year but Ive seen articles and facebook posts about him working out in the gym trying to get back into shape. I hope this will work out for the Blazers, as I can still feel Carmelo could still be a 10-15 ppg.
