Fills a Need!

As I’m sure you know, the LA Clippers have always had a hole at the Small Forward spot. While several players have filled in admirably, it’s the one position that the Clippers have been lacking in. Getting Carmelo would fill that void right away.

Don’t get me wrong, Prince Luc is a stud, but bringing in Melo would give the Clippers the big wing player they have wanted for so long. Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but Melo isn’t that great on defense. Even with Melo’s short comings on the defensive end, he can more than make up for it with the spacing and scoring threat he would provide.
