Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 5683372, member: 40"] I see it a little differently -- I think he wants Hop because he knows having Hop [who Melo has a strong personal relationship with] guarantees Melo access to the coaching staff, which will in turn enable him to have a [minor] say in how Kiyan is coached. After this year didn't go the way Carmelo would have preferred for his kid, I'm guessing that he wants more access / influence over the next coach. I don't think it is just about pumping up his friend, I think the motivations are more overtly selfish. [/QUOTE]
