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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

Unfortunately Leonard didn't play and the clippers loses the game, PG debut is impressive having 33points in just 24mins of playing. This team really have a good chance competing for this year's title. With healthy Leonard and PG this Clippers squad can create a new dynasty, too early though to conclude but knowing how PG wanted to have a ring they will try to push it forward.

I do not know what happened to him but he is playing like he is in his prime.

Inspiration or maybe doing everything in return for what Lakers did to him since after all, most of us here don't expect that Dwight Howard will shine again or be include on a top-caliber team. He's been on 5 teams already within just a 5 season period so this just shows how ineffective he is now. But that changed now.

Not just him but the Lakers another big man, JaVale Mcgee is also doing good. Their tandem is really looking good so far and we are just in the early phase of the season.

“If I’m having a bad game then he’s picking me up. If he’s having a bad game then I’m picking him up. If we’re both having a great game, we’re winning the game. It’s pretty good. I like it,” Howard to Mcgee.

Or something hit him in the head.
He might felt that he is being brought down. As you said, 5 teams in 5 seasons. That is not a good thing.
If he is really that good then he needs a max contract.
He is needs to show off those abilities that he have or once had. A big man with an agility of a small forward. That is something rare which comes in NBA.
But because of his foolishness, people are making fun of him. Time to get serious to preserve his career.

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.

Well said mate. There's a reason why load management is becoming a thing right now.

In the first place, it should not.

These players or we called superstars are been in the league for several years. Their body maintenance is being maintained by the latest state of the art technology and lots of expensive exercises, supplements and a strict diet.

There are other players who don't involve that load management workload in their career and can also play back-to-back games but still going on a rampage every time on the court and will come out healthy after the game. LBJ, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, Paul Pierce, Blake Griffin, Kevin Garnett..

It has nothing to do with load management for a 100% healthy player.  Kawhi has had a history (in san antonio) of getting hurt.  The clippers are in this to win in june, not to win every game in November.  The nba season is a marathon, it's all about who is healthy by playoffs than who has the most wins in november and december.  I have no problem with it at all.  Winning an nba championship involves a lot of tactics....Toronto did it with Kawhi last year, how did that work out for them having a completely healthy Kawhi come playoff time.  No shame in that

Maybe you have no problem with it but not with the majority.

And it has something to do even for a 100% healthy player.
Read here: https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/giannis-antetokounmpo-makes-it-clear-hes-no-fan-of-load-management-i-want-to-play/

Giannis was offered to take a break sometimes but dude declined it. Meaning the system was allowed even on a healthy player. It's not NBA anymore if all those superstars will sometimes take a break to have a preparation for NBA playoffs. If that's the case then what's the reason they played for? I'd rather see limited minutes or those baby superstar will not enter the court if they down by 10 points compared to this absence where fans are expecting to see them. They pay tickets for that.

Are you really fine with that system?

Now, that Leonard is not going to play against the Pelicans, do you think the Clippers are still gonna win this game?

That kind of question looks like a disrespect for the whole Los Angeles Clippers.

Of course, they can win even without Leonard or George.

Is Leonard the only one who is playing at its best level for the Clippers?
