So here we are... Melo?

[Filippoitaly]

With JJ being inconsistent should we try to pursue Carmelo or do you think that is carrer is basically over? (maybe he's the old star caliber vet that we need to clinch a playoff berth this year?)
And do you think that we are enough appeling or that he will choose other options on the table?

 

[itzcoatl]

Wouldn’t touch him with a ten foot pole. He’s made his past two teams worse and hasn’t played winning basketball outside the olympics in a long time. Hard pass.

Edit: I mean OKC and HOU have winning records, but that’s in spite of Melo.

 

[dude12]

He’s not a winning player

 

[John Galt]

never. never ever.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

Winning teams have been showing him the door for a reason. If we want to be a winning team, we should pay attention to what the winning teams do.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Absolutely not, he can offer nothing to this team other than take away minutes.

 

[63royals]

Hey, why don't we get Dr. J? He'd really help at the small forward position -- he's a great player. And why don't we see if we can get Bill Russell -- great defensive center.

Oh? You say they're too old now?

 

[pdxKingsFan]

I love Bill Russell. We once had a guy named Bill Russell here. It's easy to wipe that from our memories. Oh god... let us never speak of this again.

 

[Filippoitaly]

Ahah ok... Gotcha

I added a really simple poll so we won't have to think about this any more.

 

[twslam07]

I thought I would never even see anyone bring this question up. I’ll be shocked if anyone votes yes.

I'm confused, the options are Yes and No. I would have gone with No and Hell No myself

Doesnt fit in with our strong culture so i am doubtful we explore this.

By all accounts he was a consummate professional in Houston and Vlade always surprises me so who knows.

I wanted Crawford here for his instant offense when he was unsigned as we need a vet to lead the scoring push off the bench for our playoff run. Melo would serve that purpose somewhat but at a lessor level and would bring all his baggage to Sac. No for me, we would be hoping for too much and melos history speaks for itself. We dont need to reach like that.

He needs to join a team who needs a tank commander and instant offense. As much is clear about Melo, he doesnt adapt to any style of offense.

At least one person will. It never fails.

Why are you making us Italians look dumb asking this?!?!?

Melo is literally the last player on earth I would want in a Kings jersey. The very last. It makes me sick just to think about it.

Is there a reason why the gif I posted is now deleted?

From looking at it, I would guess that the content was deemed not-family-friendly.

It was a joke gif. Got it, I’ll make sure to post nothing but rainbows and unicorns

 

[Joshoua]

If Melos playing basketball was its will be in China

 

[allrightythen]

lol at the poll results.

The person who voted yes should be publicly shamed

Maybe they just missed?

 

[macadocious]

@VF21 can you turn the swear filter off for this thread so I can properly respond?

 

[63royals]

This would have been a good opportunity to test the 'You-Gotta-Be-Kidding-Me' button I proposed in another thread.

 

[VF21]

Maybe they just missed?

It's a public poll. Click on the "Votes: 1" and it will display the name of the person. Since it is public, I'll just make the big reveal.

You wanna talk about this? We'll do so - in PM. I had a very good reason for deleting it.

 

[Nokidding]

While culture wise it would never work in Utah imo the Jazz right now could use Melo, they successfully Incorporated Iso Joe Johnson (granted Joe is a better passer) a few seasons ago and they need another guy who can somewhat create, also having Favors/Gobert to have his back would help him.

 

[Kangztillidie]

Didnt this topic come up during the offseason when he was bought out by the Hawks and the results were the same, adamantly NO? What would make anyone (looking at you OP) think to bring this back up? The Kings need Carmelo as much as I need a hole in the head.

 

[Mass]

Well, I guess the OP is just new to the game and doesn't know what kind of player Melo is today. Maybe he only knows Melo for the scorer he was at the beginning of his career. When he answered me in italian he wrote that he just started to follow the Kings and the NBA. Let's just assume it's a rookie mistake!
