career starts

Elfrid 298
Dennis 119
Frank   34

Add 50 more to each. Or 80. Or 100. What changes for whom. Who is going to be where in terms of helping a team win? I know where I'd put my money. Y'all can yapyap.

Well, we are on the hook for Frank at 6.17 mil and Dennis for 5.68 mil

Elfrid we can release and owe just 1 mil - so I would think we would let Elfrid play a good amount, determine the proper course (1 mil dump vs 8 mil keep) for '20-'21

So I see an article highlighting that Melo scored 10 in his debut, and was 2-3 of 3's.  Then a bit later down they mention 5 fouls and a team worst -20.  They didn't even bother to get to the 5 turnovers and zero assists.

Just one game, with Lillard out, but seems closer to horrible than good. 

I don't really care about Melo one way or the other.
Though I suspect he's old and spent and won't be much help.

I'm rooting for it to slowly fail solely because I want POR to be desperate for a PF from Dec 15 on.

Cant help the guy.  He thinks Melo is a PF

Portland has a Nurkic-Whiteside duo on tap, with Collins and Gasol in tow - down the line.  Melo is there for perimeter shooting, amidst the early struggles of guys like Bazemore, who is a 3.

Count me in the camp of probably one, that wants to see Melo succeed. Mofo gave almost everything he had while here under some suspect coaches and GMs that failed miserably to surround him with the proper talent. He played hurt, gave his all and took on a tsunami of criticism unlike any player in recent memory....and it didn't break him, nor did he ever speak poorly of the franchise. Class.

Melo can keep up with exactly 0 perimeter players in the NBA. D alone makes him a PF, even if he’s stretching the floor.

It’s not very likely Melo reaches his guarantee date with Portland.

As Damyean Dotson (another player who has seen more minutes in the past six games) explained on Monday, the Knicks' overall strategy is to control the paint.

"That's the plan, try to protect the paint and make them spread out," he said. "Our whole goal is to protect the paint."

The Knicks rank in the top 10 in defensive rebounding and points allowed in the paint. They also rank in the top 10 in steals. But the protect the paint strategy seems to have left them susceptible to the 3-point shot. Entering play Wednesday, New York ranked 19th in opponent 3-point field goal percentage and was allowing the fifth-most 3-point attempts per game in the NBA.

Have to be thinking Philly fans are criticizing Coach Brown's offense as well.

Wow - is this ugly on both ends.

He doesn't even know when he is hot.  Clyde was complaining that Frank baffled him with his hesitation after a made three.  Never seen a player turn off his own water like that.  Heat check isn't in Frank's english vocab yet.
