What do you guys think? Is he just a bitter old dude, or is there some validity?

Durant fanbois coming in here to say Walt Frazier is just a hater in 3.....2.....1.......
Can you imagine how many burner accounts Durant has created the last 10 hours talking crap on Walt?

And Melo getting his jersey retired, esp as a Knick, is comical. Is that really even a discussion? His average win total in 7 seasons - 35.

John Wall: Team USA has 'different atmosphere' with Gregg Popovich succeeding Mike Krzyzewski

John Wall said he wasn't give a fair shot to make Team USA for the 2014 World Cup. Then, he (correctly) predicted he wouldn't make the 2016 Olympic roster, either.
If the Wizards star resented USA Basketball, he's using Gregg Popovich succeeding Mike Krzyzewski as coach as an opportunity to move on.

Jerry Colangelo remains managing director. So, it isn't a completely new regime.
Nor is it a different landscape for Wall's roster competition. The Americans are loaded at point guard. Beyond Wall, the player pool for the 2019 World Cup and 2020 Olympic includes:

Team USA player pool at Point Guard-
Stephen Curry
James Harden
Kyrie Irving
Russell Westbrook
Chris Paul
Damian Lillard
Kyle Lowry
Kemba Walker
Mike Conley
Isaiah Thomas

Not a bad trade for Rockets.

Not at all. Chriss is better than Anderson for this team and Knight is cheaper than Anderson. Chriss may look a lot better getting a bunch of easy buckets off dimes from Harden/Paul. Even if he doesn't work out the Rockets didn't trade anyone who would be in their playoff rotation.

Chriss has a lot of talent but he has Trent Brown disease. His work ethic is garbage. Brandon Knight when healthy can ball, he'll add another scorer off the bench for that team.



I know Phoenix liked Melton pre-draft, unsure about how much longer Anderson's deal runs for but I guess he works as a stretch four?
