Carmelo Anthony is finally picked up by a team! Portland Blazers actually picked up Carmelo Anthony for a non-guaranteed minimum and it is awesome that we will get to see Carmelo on the floor once again.

It was great to see him in a sense that he still continue his career, but looking forward in making great plays? Nah, his prime days are passed already so he should retire by now. Anyway, still congrats to him because no doubt he can add up to strengthen the force of Portland (this is better than to have nothing Grin

) especially that they are now 5-8. Let's see if Anthony can make miracle things Cheesy

The bad news (AGAIN) for the supporters of Warriors, because they couldn't see D'Angelo Russell play until the end of November because he had suffered a thumb injury. The team announced today that D'Lo has undergone an MRI and as a result, he experienced a Sprained Thumb, during the match against the Boston Celtics.
GWS again and again Cry

What a series of unfortunate events! No one can lead their team by now Sad

. Thus, I will understand if they now feel hopeless and start to concede. Well, not bad at all, at least they already prove something in the NBA. It's okay if they will lose this time, it's not the end of the world tho.

Additional reason to slim their chances to move forward to the second round, if they don't have any legit player to lead the offensive attack
the chance to keep on losing from each games is very possible. D'Lo is trying to carry the team without the splash bros now that he's also
in the injury list, seems that GSW will have an early vacation this season, not unless they will sign or trade new star to their squad.

GSW can't catch a break. Another player added to the injury list. This is truly a bad year for the warriors. Their first season in Chase Center is not looking good. That is just a few weeks anyway. Hope he gets back stronger.

Anyone else noticing that Giannis is slowly improving on his 3 pts percentage? He is 32% this season, way ahead of his 25% last season. If he continues to improve his 3 points shooting, Bucks will be a monster team offensively.

Holy crap.
I was already amazed at what they did against the Boston Celtics.
I see chemistry, I see defense. Everything is there, they just need to upgrade it to a different level.
And now this.

They might had lose that game but I am seeing new players which are making names for themselves.
Maybe without DLo they could still have that kind of intensity which they showed against Boston. That is the top in the East and they really gave them a hard time.

It's now the question of how the coaching staff will put him to help and maximize his service.

They should have plan on how to maximize Melo because they hire him.

Melo could be a good scorer from the 2nd unit. Maybe the Blazers will give him at least 10mins every game when he returns.

In his last 2 seasons average, he averaged 16.2 and 13.4 points playing in OKC and Houston Rockets respectively.
https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/a/anthoca01.html

But I am not sure about his playing time though, maybe he'll get less or more, depending on his contribution to the team.

By the way, Melo did not play against the Spurs today, I want to know when he is projected to play so we can see his first performance on the Blazers team.

I think they're still performing physical exam before he can proceed to the floor. Most of the sports article sources are
telling Melo wont be playing for the Blazers until Tuesday.
Hopefully he will able to play after Tuesday and onwards, NBA fans are somehow excited in his return expecting some D.Rose vibe from him.

Here's the latest news regarding that.
https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/carmelo-anthony-not-expected-to-make-blazers-debut-before-tuesday-vs-pelicans-per-report/

Quote

According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, Anthony's debut with the Blazers isn't expected until at least Tuesday, when the Blazers battle the New Orleans Pelicans on the road. Having only agreed to the deal on Thursday, Anthony still needs to pass a physical and actually sign on the dotted line. That is not expected to happen until at least Saturday, when the Blazers are in San Antonio to face the Spurs.

Finally! Now that Carmelo Anthony has been picked now by Blazers, it's now good to assume on what will be the fate of their team for this season. I guess that the time permitted that he shouldn't be out of this league. Regardless of the contract and how much it is, we're all happy that he's been picked up by a team. We didn't expect that it would be Blazers but this has relieved us since everyone worried about him.

I remember before that Lilard tweet about Melo mentioning that the guy should still play but not sure if he influence the team management to
hire this service, Melo to add additional gunner knowing the type of his play it can bring good space as he's always ready and willing to take the
shot. It's now the question of how the coaching staff will put him to help and maximize his service.

I know he could be literally cut down from the roster if he doesn't play well enough to stay in the team and Portland doesn't need him around if he is not going to work so dude may end up with a cut short run once again but if he could just work hard and get into a rhyme dude could actually help Portland turn things around. This dude scored 28 just 3 games before he was cut, he is still a great player and a top 20 scorer in history of NBA, why would anyone want to kick him out is beyond my understanding but also why wouldn't he get picked up right away is even more silly. Lets see how he ends his career this time.

He's a good scorer and defender way back from it's prime, but attitude issues ruined his career, he needs to work from Blazers squad in order for him to extend his stay. He already mentioned that he's willing to adjust just to have the opportunity to play again. Let see if he'll be able to fit with the blazers system knowing that the tempo of the play start from Lilard and CJ, Melo is a born scorer it's a good chance if he adds threat when CJ and Lilard get into traffic and help scoring the basket.

And he is friends with players with also attitude problems.
Being a star gets in their head in their prime, I hope you know who are those I am talking about.
There is also a possibility that these friends of him is the reason behind him being signed again.

They have connections, they can somehow manage to create a path for him to make money again.
But if Carmelo will show that he is just doing this for money again then we might see him being kicked once more in his new team which is the Blazers.

We will see it and I will be looking at tweets of his team mates if another bad thing will happen in the locker room. Grin

Yes, because he has missed so many games now that it is hard for him to be named ROTY.

But as a basketball fan, we wanted to see him play whether in the mid season or right after the all star break. There are so much hype around him so let's see if it is really worth the wait.

True. The hype seems to slow down by now.
But there is still this hope that we want to see how he could play in a professional league.
Will he be still that unstoppable when defended by a veteran player?

Quote from: Yaunfitda on November 16, 2019, 08:41:07 PM

As far as Carmelo Anthony, hope he will not disappoint Portland so that we can see him play. I think his contract his similar to Dwight with Lakers, and we have seen so far that Lakers is going to keep him because Dwight is playing good or at least makes valuable contributions to Lakers at this point.

Give him more minutes. Make the people look at how he play and maybe we can see some light of the old Melo or even just half of it.
He might slow down a bit but the shooting style must still be there and he needs to show that to gain more trust from different management of other teams or maybe some scouts.

^^ Definitely, Zion's will need to adjust to NBA playing style.

I mean he can't just dunk over everyone, and experience players are going to bodied him and this could make him uncomfortable. Unless he has the mentality of Lebron James during his rookie year. So for me, Zion needs to adjust psychologically and then see where his body are going to take him in his first season.

Just as what I expect from the kid, he's not a superstar kind of player but he has talent which he should harness to achieve what people think he could do. I don't think he could make it a run for the rookie of the year this season though.

I think he was cut in Houston because they really have no use for him. Yes he play good with them, but we all know that Houston is more of a analytics team and maybe the data suggested that Carmelo is more of a liabilities.

He hasn't played a single game in the regular season, so we can't tell.

He was unfortunately injured during the pre season and injuries are normal, every player are vulnerable to it, whether its preseason, regular season, or playoffs. Let's just hope he can come back bringing the same intensity he showed during the preseason so he will become a big help to his team to rank up.

So for me, Zion needs to adjust psychologically and then see where his body are going to take him in his first season.

He doesn't just work based on what he like, he sure have a coach or a trainer that is here to guide him because they want to protect him and the organization's investment to him.

They announced a while ago he wont be making his first appearance in the regular season until midway through out if lucky. I cant see him getting close to becoming rookie of the year no way. I have seen nunn play and he is getting the minutes and have performed well above those who were drafted while he wasnt. So this to me is the best reason to put him at the top of the list.

Looks like the Barkley move worked.
I am not a fan of the kid but he is really good.
There are times when he makes a lot of errors but he explained it all quite well in an interview with ESPN.
So the question now is how he will get up.

He knows there is something terrible about him specially in the locker room.
If he can minimize the errors and somehow showcase what is good about him then he might get a better contract next time.

Not sure if Melo is the perfect player to give a boost to the team. Melo is an icon but he is the leader that does not easily gets along perfectly well with other players, not especially as just a simple team booster and not as a star player in court, which he still believe he is until now.

I am hoping that he learned to adjust to his role from not playing for almost a year. That is his hard reality now. Accept he is not the focal point now and rise to the challenge or he will not be playing in NBA anymore. He is a non-guarantee. Blazers can kick him out anytime they are not satisfied with his performance.

Quote from: gabmen on November 16, 2019, 04:08:27 AM

I have a feeling that zion's not going to meet expectations when he plays. I mean, not a draft bust, and he could be decent or starter caliber at best, but not the dominant type that the pelicans can build a young team around. Impressive ncaa stint yes, but its likely the guy won't have the same effect when he plays with the big guys competitively.

Let him play his rookie year first and let his coach and trainers make the necessary adjustments to his game. We cannot just make presumptions without seeing him play a single NBA regular season game.
