Agree on Amare. As far as Melo, eventually when you get hit EVERY play and dont pull the b!tch move of flopping yourself 40 feet into the stands like some people, you get frustrated. He has to deal with this better, he plays physical and its easy to get pissed when you get hammered all the time with no call and see the same thing happen to LeFlop & Wade on the other end with refs blowing their whistles nonstop. I can see Melo being annoyed but you're right, he can't let up easy buckets to compound the problem.
The "New NBA". Isnt it wonderful!? I love how anytime the Heat get called for something they freak out like how dare youuu. LeFlop is out of control, Melo boxed him under the basket last night after a FT and Lebron went flying about 4 rows deep into the stands lol, dude is so corny.
While not a flop he does enough histrionics when he tries to establish himself in offensive sets or when running through picks. There is no bigger attractor of attention than the Melo man.
The problem is when he gets upset at non calls, argues with the refs, leaves his team at a disadvantage on that possession. He lets it carry over to the next offensive possession. His machismo takes over and he ends up forcing a play that isn't there, many times on wild drives to the basket where he ends up on his keister and again goes after the refs, many times getting T'd up. Sometimes taking the team out of the game. None of his past or present coaches have had the balls to regin him in by calling an immediate time out and sitting him until he cools off. That scenario drives me up a wall.
I keep having this unrealistic hope that we could swap Amare for Iguodala if the Sixers also get swept. They need a go to player and we need to get rid of this guy. I know Sixer fans were down on Iguodala bigtime this season. Honestly, I would give him away for expiring contracts of no names if it got us out of his contract.
Would that be enough to keep D-Will? If so, I think Prokherov would be desperate enough to jump on it. That would certainy set the stage for a GREAT rivalry. If NJ wants him, I would make that trade in a second. I would be ecstatic if we could get Humphries out of that deal.
He was great pre-Melo when he was the focal point but he has deteriorated in a major way since then. He is an awful fit for this team as currently constructed.
That would be incredible. I could definately see BK as a landing spot for Amare. They would probably think STAT will have fire in his eyes to get revenge against NY and getting Humphries and Morrow would be incredible fits for this team.
I'll take a bag of peanuts...ill take one peanut.
