I wont be surprised when he does have a bad game all the people who stayed quiet the last 2 games will start spamming the thread in disparity about how "right" they are. Quote this message for future reference.

This thread risks becoming as shite as the Messi v. Ronaldo threads. But in this case we get daily updates about an irrelevant former star.

No. I said if Dudley can make a roster then so can Melo. Which is true because he cant hold a candle to him.

Melo has had a +10 or more in the last 4 games.

The whole point was he can still play in the NBA while everyone else said he cant, Lets not switch up narratives now because people don't want to admit that they may have been wrong,
Don't you think 4 games I a small sample space? Being unproductive for X years, and then after a long break perform really well for 4 games?
One thing should be said though, I have not seen him this fit for 10 seasons. Or maybe ever.

6 games overall he’s played an yes there is still a long season obviously but once again my whole point if you go all the way back was he could make a roster as there are worse players then him in the NBA.

Yet some on here granted it’s a small sample size because it’s just the Cafe think he does not belong in the NBA is just absurd.


It’s gotten to the point where they are hoping he fails just to be proven right in an argument over the internet. The truth is he has shown he can still play in this league and all of this after not stepping foot in a court in over a year. The Blazers are +57 with him on the court so far this season. 35 years old averaging 17-6-2 since he got back.

If I was saying he should be starting and all that nonsense then I agree with all of you, granted he is starting now I still think he will be better as a bench option.

Replying the same way people have been over this stupid “argument”
I’m not getting involved in the argument. I don’t care about Melo either way. Haven’t said anything about the substantive stuff. I do like to read this thread however and would rather see a certain standard of discussion, not this 10 year old Facebook shit.

That's a better way of explaining your reasoning/logic or your opinion.
Roster or bench option player is down to the contract/quality dilemma. Dependent on cost and physical shape Melo could be worth it as a bench option for certain teams.

I will have to agree with what @Charlie Foley stated though, in that outside the match thread and muppet threads it would be nice to see posts like the one above, rather than those he quoted.

I agree and it was my point since the beginning. I think he can be a bench player and I think he has shown it (so far) as there are worse players.

As for the above quoted I agree but it was more so in response to the childish and petty like replies of certain people wishing the failure on someone in hopes to be right in a internet debate.

This debate has been dragged on for much too long Anyways as it has been over by now. So I am over it As there is not much to debate anymore.

More chances are of you getting threadbanned if you continue with your Twitter/reddit level posting style.

He still can't, 4 games is nothing.

You've literally done this yourself after a few good games. Heck, you did it even after his first few bad games.

If only they had a 7ft 3 power forward, who is one of the best in the league...
He can play(currently nowhere near his peak and league elites) but he cant mark powerful guys nor can dominate jumping wise....
AD tearing them apart today, capella looked like peak shaq few days ago with over 10 attacking rebounds...
