Lets stop that Melo thing for now because many know that he doesn't fit there (just joking)  Cheesy Cheesy

Lets talk about Kevin Love signing a 4 year 120 million extension with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and Brian Windhorst and Cleveland.com's Joe Vardon report the Cavs have signed Kevin Love to a four-year, $120 million extension.

The team officially announced the move on Tuesday afternoon as Love signed the contract at Quicken Loans Arena in front of Cavs front-office officials and construction crews working on renovating the arena.

http://www.nba.com/article/2018/07/24/report-kevin-love-signs-four-year-120-million-extension-cleveland-cavaliers?collection=news

Now that Love is the remaining all-star in the Cavs, what will be the future of the team. Can he seek help from his teammates. I wish what Lebron did last season will not happen to Love next season.

Its a good move for Kevin to stay with the Cavs he will now be the new face of the team. He will be their franchise player for one and we all know that Kevin is very much capable of carrying a team just like he did when he is still in Minnesota. So all is not lost of the Cleveland franchise. Let's see if he can revive his career again and re-invent himself since his been in the shadow of Lebron and Kyrie for quiet some time now. (and both of them are gone now.)
He deserved that amount of contract but I don't know if he can still deliver the way he play like he was still with the Twolves.
Love is a different player now and there are better players than him in the league, I know he cannot do it alone, so the management should seek for fresh talents.
We will see if it was really worth it. I think it was a good move by the Cavaliers and to be honest, he just became a support type and now that they have a different roster, he could probably perform differently and with the recruitment of fresh talents, why not?
Lets see how Love will play in this upcoming season. I don't think he will be the same Kevin Love as he is in the Timberwolves but he needs to step up on every game now that he is the lone all star player in the Cavs. I wish they will get another underdog player. We will see how Love and the Cavs play in the season but I don't think they can clinch unto the playoffs right now.

The rockets could use Melo for sure.
I hope that there will be no conflict between him and Harden. I hope for the best to Rockets and I've read the article that Harden said it's a great acquisition for them.
Melo has to understand that he is not a star player of a team, if he still wants to get sign, he was to play according to his rule.
Harden is a facilitator, now there are two options for him to give the ball, either Melo or paul but we have already seen that Paul is an effective player.
It takes time for everyone of them to go along with the team and start knowing each other and starting again.

We are in speculating process but I think they are also working for this thing and we will see them play very well for this season, I hope so.

And still they cannot stop with the Melo thing. Grin

I am really sad for Kevin Love. He had been a good player ever since Minnesota. His contribution made a lot of impact and making him one of the best player of the league. Double double every game and for most of times rebounds are larger than points.

He really needs a good break and get a superstar that will lift up the Cleveland team.
Like how this guy is so patient and being a real sportsman.
I feel sad too because he doesn't have any good teammate that is as good as him or even better but if we will see the other side, if the other players will step up like Clarkson, Nance Jr. , Smith or Korver then they have the chance to clinch the playoffs but I don't expect them to be on the top if they will clinch. For now, their team is not a playoff-contender team. They only got into the playoffs last season because of the BIG!!! help of Lebron.

I wish they will stop this Melo thing already. Its done and he is on the Rockets now  Grin Grin Grin

Houston Rockets are said to be an offensive team so I think Carmelo Anthony will be a great guy for them. Carmelo is a great scorer, we all now that, e might not be in his prime right now but I know that he is in a team that will be used his potential.

Paul and Harden did their best, including other players like Capela and Gordon and with Carmelo this Season I guess we will be seeing how will they play.

You are correct, Houston Rockets is a offensive them, Mike d'Antoni is known for his 7 seconds rule (team should score in 7 seconds or less). But I have to disagree with you saying that Carmelo Anthony will be great for them. James Harden and Chris Paul is already enough for the team plus they getting a bonus from their role players. So I really don't know where Carmelo would fit on that scoring rotation. We already saw how he did when he was with Westbrook and Paul George and it was very very ugly. And just like you said, his no longer at his prime so where is the potential for him to at least contribute to the offense?

Well the potential to contribute to the offense is always there. Anthony is a scorer ever since. I don't think he can lead a team to a title or even deeper in the playoffs, but he is a scorer and an offensive team can use someone who can score. Who nows, he never had an orchestrator like cp3 before.

The difference between melo in nuggets, melo in knicks and melo in okc with melo in rockets is that melo now knows he is not the superstar he is. Yes he wants to be a starter, who wouldn't I want to be a starter in NBA too.

However I can't even be the 12th guy that sent to g-league yet melo can put his foot down and ask to be a starter and he can get that. About the difference melo back in those teams were a scoring threat, up until he was traded to OKC he believed he was the scoring number one option. This time he knows cp3 and harden is the real deal and he is not the dude at this team. He kinda realized that in okc but also had trouble believing it, it takes time. I think it will be a lot better this year with Diantoni coaching him again.

I guess that should be enough for Melo by now.

How about the change in rules of the NBA.
Someone is looking to take it back to 2-3-2 rule to save travel funds and also the impact to the players being dosed by airsickness.

Another is about the top 16 seeding regardless of what conference they are. When could this be implemented?
We know there are good teams in the West that had a good standing like Denver Nuggets who struggle to get that 8th rank in the Western playoffs and yet failed.
But if this is implemented then they could get a chance. Eastern teams have bad standing in 2018.

https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2018/7/24/17606678/lebron-james-lakers-nba-playoffs-conference-imbalance-gmib

Nuggets should have been at rank 14 that time out of 16 overall.

This could also be a chance to watch greater games even in the season. It will look like the playoffs every game.  Cheesy

The rockets could use Melo for sure.  Since they will most likely be going up against Golden State again in the playoffs they severely needs his offensive game.   Carmelo hasn't been able to lead his past teams to the finals (Nuggets, Knicks) but I think he is better suited as a 2nd or 3rd option type player.  Let Harden/ Paul run the team and just let Carmelo do what he does best.

Paul has something to do with Melo agreeing to play with Houston so I'm sure that he explained to him already that he is no longer the first or second option for their offense and I'm sure Melo understands that. Starting with playing with the Knicks, Melo started to decline his playing style and it was evident at OKC. With that said, he will be used sparingly by coach Mike but they will do everything to involved him in plays so bring his confidence back. But as first five I don't think that Mike will do that so Melo will have to come as a 6th man.

It looks like he is more likely to start from the Bench than as a starter or if as a starter, probably He's going to replace Trevor Ariza since he's gone to the Phoenix Suns as a free agent. Melo is generally a toxic player who's actually never even been top 5 player in any season(yeah, I know it is surprising) and its really hard to make him learn how to play team ball. Interesting to see how he fits in and how Mike D'Antoni uses him.

The Rockets' back-court dual-core Paul and Harden have extraordinary organizational skills, they can really stimulate the essence of Anthony scorers, Anthony can rest assured to put the energy into the offensive.
The Rockets are now in a vacuum with the SF position and they need Anthony's arrival.
Following you with that, yes Paul and Harden can give Melo another chance to bring hype to his career, we know this two stars can break the defense and Melo as a receiver and always ready to shoot the ball, the coach might see good potentials with this three players joining together and blending the chemistry, with how the west was formed right now most of the teams will find ways to be more  competitive.
Melo cannot run, he is a big man but not as athletic as Lebron James.
I don't know if who is going to adjust here, is the current style of play of the Rockets will be change just to accommodate Melo or should he adjust?
It will be Melo who will adjust his type of style in playing for me. The Rockets are a strong team already and they just need a teammate who will replace Ariza since he is traded to another team and Melo will fill that slot. I agree that Melo is not as athletic as Lebron or any big guys out there. If he will adjust his style then he can contribute more in the team.

I don't think that Melo can fit as replacement to Ariza. Trevor is more of a defensive player and his three points is just a bonus for Houston. How can he fill in the shoes of Ariza on that regard when we all know that Anthony doesn't play defence and more of a isolation player in which James Harden is the best option? We saw that he didn't make any adjustment on OKC so I don't know how or why the Rockets is interested on getting his services.
