Looks like the Knicks aren't giving up on Melo, at least for this season. Would love to see him play on HOU though.

Lonzo Ball exceptional game during the summer league and won the MVP. His is now making his way up to prove that he can really compete with other great players in the league. I just hope his dad won't destroy his reputation *somehow*.
Yeah, that was other people also said on social media about his father. Why not he just shut his mouth and just let her son prove what he got, not that he's preceded by egoism. That would reflect on his son and maybe his son will received so much of bashing because of what he's doing. He should stop it.
well its making him (Lonzo) more popular and more people are now actively checking his performance and how big will be his impact this coming season
and like other mate said he's father is a businessman he knows and maybe somebody's behind him knew that this will come and they need more publicity to sell this young boy's future.

I think that's how Lavar markets his sons. Lavar is a businessman, He would do anything just to get what he wants. I hope the Lonzo, Can handle the pressures not only with his current team as Lakers  but with Also, with his dad's expectations. Lonzo is a great player and has a potential to become a star, hope that his dad won't damage his image as a basketball player. Well good luck to Lonzo. 

I would also do the same marketing if I'm the father of Lonzo. I agree he would do anything to attract attention to his son. The kid is very talented and can surely become a NBA star one day.  Clearly, he has amazing court vision. He runs the floor well, shares the ball. It may only be summer league, but Ball has been a revelation. Let's see once he steps in the NBA with the big guys and adjusted fast.

Indeed. Talentwise, i think lonzo's got the skills to propel him up there with the superstars of today. Though the real test would be once the regular season starts. Let's face it, summer league doesn't really prove anything at this point but with his showing there, kid looks like he belongs to the nba.

San Antonio Spurs finalized an agreement with Manu Ginobili for one-year, $14 million deal he had an average 7.5 points 2.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 18.7 minutes per match i think that he Still the smartest guy coming off the bench in the league. That's worth a lot and not easy to find plus he's a winner and will do whatever the team asks him to do to win. Can't ask for more from a hall of fame player but i don't expect him to play more then the next season maybe he doesn't realize that it's time to hang them up. He could probably find a spot in assistant coaching or as a game analyst at a sport tv programm
He still deserve the pay although he has not really earn a lot of playing time minutes.When he was younger he brought honor to the Spurs and it's a reward by the management also to him fo being loyal to the team. Spurs now are stronger as they acquire new player which is Rudy Gay which I think could help them back in the NBA Finals.

Yeah. He still deserves the pay as he is one of the most durable player of San Antonio. I thought he gonna retires and 2016-2017 would be his last season. Anyways, he can still contribute to the team, remember the block against Harden last year, it was thing of beauty unfortunately, Leonard just injured which ended their hopes for a championship ring last season. I think the plan is to him be like a mentor to some young players of San Antonio and will probably give tips to Rudy who I  think will be replacing him, similar to Leonard replacing Duncan as the main man for San Antonio.

Carmelo isn't my favorite player particularly for his hobby of shooting bad shots he doesn't need to shoot, Kevin isn't much better in that aspect but at least getting more use to playing in Cleveland, Carmelo would need to through the process from the first year.

Regarding summer league, Lakers looking like a promising team right now, will be curious to see if they continue that next season, not putting much hope on them though considering their top players are rookies or 2 year players.

If we will compare these two players I would say that Kevin is much better and being loved by the people. I'm not underestimating Carmelo there is just an issue about his attitude and maybe he needs to fix it or try to make up his mind and play with a nice way so that people will love him back. I wish the both players a good luck for this season.
Yes Kevin is much better than carmelo not just because of its attitude but also in game. But lets see how Carmelo will do this coming season Boston in NBA finals.  Grin

just cutting the quote, but still with melo if he really like to win a ring he needed to adjust and let him play not a superstar but a role player
that will bring support to his new team, look with iguodala and kevin love they played as a back up support even they have a superstar
caliber individual.

Andre Igoudala and Kevin Love didn't became a main man in their respective teams (Philadelphia 76ers and Minnesota Timberwolves). They are purely served being a supporting cast in the main lineup.

Carmelo Anthony is the lead player of the Denver Nuggets for many season and it was followed to New York Knicks that's why changing playing style will kinda be hard if he will transfer to another team with already main man on the roster.
Who's the main man in timberwolves when Kevin Love was there then? I really think that it was Kevin Love which was the main man because he usually step up big and AFAIR he made a good streaked  of double double in ppg and rpg during his time.

Well the playing style he has definitely made him who he is, and I believe timberwolves will make it for the best season meet. I hope that they will be into championship soon, because it really need to have a new fame of nba in order to give opportunity for the other best players to rise on their career. Although their career has very hard times to play, well I guess hard work is the best keys along with descipline.
cavs aim to have love because he really performed a good game while he still with timberwolves so think he deserved to be called the main man
and with how melo will performed if he change team he can't be the main man of that team unlike kd that still young and really can lift a team
that's the big question if melo can provide the expectations.

If Melo wants to have a ring, then moving to a contender is a good option. But what others think, he should not be the franchise player but needs to adapt as a source of inspiration to the player of the team which he chooses. And he should play as second fiddle, because he's not getting any younger. Maybe he should be the 2nd choice to score if needed by the team. If he is able to adapt then I think he has high chances of getting a ring, which he deserves.

The sad case of Kevin Love being the main man on a poor team with the Timberwolves, having not carried them to the playoffs in any of his playing time over at Minnesota. But he can't be blamed for being a third fiddle especially if Lebron leads a team. Remember that Chris Bosh also had to settle as the third option when he was so used to being the top dog in Toronto. But for me, I would still choose Love over Melo, although both of them have some issues on the defensive end, but Love is a little younger than Melo and is a more of stretch guy that can give the offense more flexibility compared to Melo's mostly isolation type of game. That's why the triangle offense didn't work in New York.

I think you are wrong. Andre Igoudala was the main man in Philadelphia when he was there. He posted his best stats while he was with them. Iverson was already in his downturn with his career with Philadelphia that's why they got Andre to fill in the shoes. I guess too much expectations from him was a factor for his "below" performance as a Sixers main man. But now he is enjoying a great career with GSW.

LOL. Kevin Love established the longest streak for consecutive games recording double figures in points and rebounds since the ABA–NBA merger. How can you say that he is not the franchise player in Minnesota Timberwolves. If that alone doesn't proved about him as main man during his stint with the Timberwolves, then I don't know what to say.

Again most are harsh on Carmelo and his career but the guy only played in two teams that didn't make any effort to surround him with talent. He could've gone to a powerhouse but chose to stay and I can respect that. I compare him to Dirk Nowitzki in a way, Dirk is a legend and he pursued that championship for so long but he also played in a great Dallas team with Nash many years and failed. He was outstanding all season long in his championship year with a deep (but with less talent) Dallas team and finally got the title. But Carmelo who shares some similar attributes, never had the chance to have a team comparable to those Mavs, so I think people were always too quick to judge him. He's still young in a way to get a title but it will feel "weird" since he will just have to join an already established team not built around him.

The sad reality is the neither Denver or NY succeeded in building strong, contender rosters. He probably could've pushed a trade or go to a different team but I can't argue with that.

Look at Durant, I don't have respect for him for getting this title at all. He was so close with OKC, feels like cheating, no effort whatsoever just go to the team that beat you and get a ring...
Carmelo Anthony is in no way just a role player for any team especially the New York Knicks could you name any player in the Knicks that is even capable of replacing Anthony? Yes I know a lot of stars before are know playing from the bench like Andre Iguodala and Rudy Gay but this are players who accepted that they can maximize their contribution as a 6th man. Why will you make Anthony a sixth man for the Knicks in the first place?
