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.

Well we've seen in the past that having your offense going around melo don't really end up well. He's just not that type of player that can carry the offense and the team like his batchmates bron or wade. Definitely the adjustments would have to be on melo and he has to embrace what role would be given to him.

I dont know much about the playstyle of Melo but I think he always want to shoot in the perimeter and outside. Maybe he can be a good addition into the offensive power of Rockets now that Ariza has been traded to Suns I think. If Melo will be great in Rockets this season, they have the chance to beat Warriors.

Melo was a consistent offensive specialist during his Denver days. When he transfered to the Knicks he gradually lost his offensive effeciency. One thing I dont like with Melo's playing style on both ends, is forcing a low percentage shot and lack of defensive presence. The OK3 was just a proof that a team cant win when everyone wants to score. Ive seen Melo and PG throwing bricks at OKC, I know even the GOAT have a bad night, but great players always find a way to be useful to his teammates even without making a bucket. I'd rather have Melo on the 2nd squad as the lead scorer than putting him in the starting line up.

I think Carmelo Anthony has always been overrated due to not being much of a defensive player. He's good for the Rockets system because they are a high powered offense. The problem with being a three point shooting team is that you live and die by the three.

I don't think he is a good addition. Considering his playing style, he wants the ball in his hand and we know how Harden play is. We'll let's see if they will have a good rythm. They are deadly if they will show a good chemistry.

After the transfer, I've seen my friends got disappointed of his transfer and they are saying the same thing. Rockets won't be the same since they've got Melo.

Carmelo Anthony doesn't have to come off the bench, he also doesn't have to learn to adapt the houston rockets game. Even the worst case scenario of melo doing whatever melo normally does, that still works for rockets. Right now they do not have the wings they had last year. Which means they need proper wings, they need someone who can strecth the floor somehow. They lost last year on the western conference finals with 27 threes missed in a row, I doubt melo could be any worse, he has worse defense than ariza for sure but considering they already lost ariza, they have no other choice than sign him.

Actually their offense is the most stretched. It is even wider that the GSW play.

Gordon, Harden, CP3 are scary with their 3 point percentage. Add Tucker which had been also good with his three's.
It is just Capella which is always on the inside.

Melo might fit in the 2nd team. If you see how they played in the Finals of the West where it is like 8 players which are rotating in the game. Minus 1 when CP3 got injured. They need that back up team. It doesnt mean he is not really needed. It is just that his ego might get in the way.

He is really a great player. But that was before. Unlike Lebron who keeps his game aggressive with his agility and power. Melo do not have that anymore. He is starting to get a really big body but cannot get that agility that is needed for a small forward or even the forward position.

Houston plays with speed. That is how D'Antoni plays are made. If you see games of Phoenix and Knicks, all are made with small players that could do fast breaks. That is why they dont use much of their centers.

Rondo is the out of place guy compared to others.

Mcgee is not a smart player but he has height and can be a good defender if he tries yet he is a funny guy and mostly known for his moves on Shaqtin a fool. We know Lance from his weird moves and weird personality as well he is a different person.
Beasley has been made a joke like he is doing silly stuff and always high and so forth.

Yet, Rondo is not like that, he is a smart player, he is an angry player for sure but he is a smart player, he memorizes everything about every team and every player and works on that. Rondo and Lebron can be great.

Also lets not forget that Lakers still have Lonzo, Kuzma, Ingram and Hart as their young core, they can improve to a great teammates for Lebron.

Wait till next year. Lakers is rebuilding their franchise with Lebron and these young talents. Lakers management is so smart for not engaging their young talents into a Leonard trade. Next season Leonard will become free agent, and he could sign to the Lakers. See, the Lakers could potentially acquire Leonard without giving up their young talents.
Lonzo, Kuzma, Ingram, and Hart they're all a young and has an incridible talent.

Yeah I agree. A win win situation for them. Since Leonard will become a free agent next season and he wants to go to Lakers, Lakers management will pursue in getting Leonard. Those young players of Lakers right now can be a potential all star caliber in the next years and if this will happen, they will become a super team. Lebron + Rondo (if he will stay) + young players.

I agree with this, it's going to be an exciting few years ahead for the Lakers. Good job on them because they don't need that right now and the future is near for them in my opinion. Having young incredible talents like them would be the investment that they need for the future. I hope they really work out with Rondo on the roster.

Yeah and those young ones will get a lot of minutes if these veterans will fail on their task as the first team.
Yes, I think Draymond Green said Rondo is a wise player. That was after they beat them with a game so hot from the two.

I am expecting more with Kuzma now that is Lebron is in. Leadership will be there so he should really make some good plays by now. Lonzo though, he might have some problems when Lebron takes the ball from the inbound.

Mcgee and Stephenson are indeed weird players. McGee became popular in Shaqtin a fool and Stephenson has this weird moves when he is on the court. Maybe they will change now that they have different teammates already.

Like @Reid said, Lebron is expecting from the young players of Lakers to step up in their games so that they can help him in the court. I think Lebron doesn't want to happen what he did in Cavs last season. Him, Rondo and Beasley are veterans and the young players need their leadership.

Well even though been perceived as clowns, mcgee and stephenson has proved their significance in their own roles for their respective teams. You can't deny the fact that these, including beasly, can excel in a lesser team. Luke walton really have his work cut out for him since this lineup, if he manages to get them working together well, can be a serious threat in the west.

Mcgee suddenly becomes a great player because he was playing with the warriors who has a lot of confidence.
I think the is the difference and he is more confident now even if he is playing with other team because he already earn his first championship.

There are still parts of him that he needs to work on but he is different from where he stand a few years ago. You could see that he is not features too much now in Shaqtin a fool but still he is a great player. When you surround yourself with champions, you would be one.

He will be playing with the best player in the Planet now, he should still maintain that confidence.
His length is what makes him valuable especially if he will continue to be healthy and will be given good minutes by the Lakers coach.
