[@buttstinkman5983]

Until the first thing out of melo's mouth was that he would check kat. So he'd join a contending team and the first thing he'd do is confront one of the all-stars and nuke the team chemistry? Melo was always a scorer and not a winner. Chauncy said it best "Melo would raw-raw and build up his teammates when he dropped 40 and the team lost, but if the team won and he only scored 15 he'd pout and be upset"

For real! He does NOT fit.

[@kmalikmusic]

With Melo it depends on his mindset. If he plays the way he did in NY from 12-14 and doesn’t ball stop and is willing to let it fly from 3 than he’s the perfect 2nd scoring option for basically every team. I’d love him as a 4 playing next to Joel on the Sixers.

JJ talking about numbers being down across the board and the whole team needing to sacrifice to win. That’s exactly what’s been going on in MN. You on some good stuff you don’t think Ant would be averaging 30 with less help. Look at guys like Naz Reid and Nickeil Alexander Walker coming off the bench. Both those guys could be starters.

but if he plays for denver, he gotta be the 6th man and lead the second unit because it's hard to switch out any piece of the main team, yes kcp is not as great offensively as JJ but JJ would not help in the defensive scheme at all.

[@matthasahand5495]

Great answers, although JJ's was kind of a copout, I feel like picking Denver or Boston is boring cause their starting lineups are so stacked. Personally I'd love to see Melo on this current Indiana team, with Tyrese, Pascal, and Myles Turner. What Melo said about wishing he had a high level facilitator in his prime is exactly what I was thinking about, and I think those bigs would fit well with him too. JJ I would love to see on the Thunder, they could start him at the two and move Josh Giddey to the bench. I always thought that role was better for Giddey, being the primary facilitator for the bench unit. Shai running the offense, JJ's shooting, Dort's defense, J Dub's all around game, and Chet as a 3 and D big man with a little dribbling and passing as well. That team would be my favorite to win it all even over Denver and Boston, and the fit would just be amazing to watch.

Wolves with melo would be nasty. You could swap out mcdaniels or KAT depending on if you want more offense/defense, and their team defense would allow melo to focus primarily on offense. Then add a motivated Conley, Gobert’s paint d, and of course ANT, that’s a championship roster easy
