Well if they deal for Melo they will probably make another deal. If this happens it's not a good thing, I like the GSW being the Spurs only roadblock to a Finals appearance.
That too.

thinking past his prime fatmelo makes a team more formidable
As of right now, both teams healthy, the Spurs don't beat the Clippers in a series. If this trade goes down and the Clips lose both Rivers and Crawford (and Mbah a Moute possibly) the Spurs regain the advantage.
Different team, different dynamics.
Yeah, a dynamic that Kawhi has on since he came into the league. Meanwhile, Kawhi has struggled more against the current Clips more than he has against any other team.
Please make it happen. Whatever takes shots away from CP3, Blake, and Re . Clippers are the only team Spurs can't figure out with their current roster.
Hmmm, you honestly believe Jamal Crawford is the difference maker in a Spurs-Clippers rematch?
Ok.
A combination of him/Rivers/Red , yes.
Porker is the difference maker, tbh. As long as he gets more minutes than MVPatty or MVMurray, we have a chance.
I think this is trouble for the Spurs if the Clips manage to keep Re along with their big 3. They would have a horrible bench but that can be mitigated in the playoffs.
I'll give you Red since he's, at times, plays like the Clippers 2nd best player. Rivers and Crawful are expendable pieces. Just a recent example, Doc plugged Felton in CP3'sbsence and was effective in limited minutes to close out the game against the Spurs ( We also didn't have Blake, fyi)
You have to acknowledge that when the Clipper face the Spurs, the system is at work.
Melo does turn into somewhat of a cancer on bad teams but when engaged he's still a huge talent. He was amazing that year the Thuggets made the WCF and that one year the Knicks won 50 games. I know he's older now, but I don't agree with the notion that he'd hurt the Clippers especially if all they'd give up is Crawford/Auscrub Rivers.
Their starting line-up would be scary af, tbh.
Sweet Jesus let Melo end up on the Clips. Clips go from being that kryptonite team to eating kryptonite themselves and need chemotherapy.
Do any of these reports have any legs? So the Celtics, Cavs do not want Melo, but the Clippers can get Melo for very little according to reports. Not sure what to believe with some of these reports. Until they trade him to a team with his consent, it's probably all BS.
So Melo is willing to wave his no-trade clause? Huh, I thought Phil would be the one to leave since Melo seems content with just being in NY.
Isola is reporting it, so take that with a grain of salt.
Would trading bench players for Melo actually make the Clippers a threat to the Warriors? I mean a threat to push that series to at least 6.
Doc trading Austin when he has been the best bench player on the team.
Melo/Blake are also a bad fit as they both like to hold the ball & postup, also imagine Melo being their wing defender.
he plays iso ball which kawhi can handle... and every possession that goes through him is one where cp3/blake arent running a pick and roll. he's an awful fit, particularly in a spurs matchup
He would be eaten alive by Kawhi, Durant or LeBron, but not that Clippers have better option at SF right now.
He's the forgotten ninja from that draft.
Is this right? I can't remember the last time I watched a full game featuring CA. I see his espn highlights and it looks like he still has something offensively. But he doesn't look like a particularly good defender.
So, your suggestion is to skip on Melo because the Clippers will miss out on Austin Rivers?Doc trading Austin when he has been the best bench player on the team.
