i'm starting to come around to the idea of this being our team the rest of the way. Melo would no doubt help this team with more free throws and rebounding. he also isn't afraid to take shots in the clutch and, as a legit superstar, will get calls others won't. this last part can be a HUGE benefit as we've all seen firsthand.

but Melo does duplicate alot of what Dirk brings offensively. lots of Iso'd 15-18 ft. out.
Melo also seems like a guy who's preoccupied with what's next and not this current season. would he bring the requisite focus and passion every night as a rental? how does this change team chemistry?

personally, i'll hope for healthy Roddy to provide penetration, 3 pt. shooting and waterbug defense. and try to use whatever assets remain to snag another athletic, active rebounder. Varejao would be perfect (although highly unlikely). maybe involve a 3rd team?
