I don't remember listening the name Briante Weber before. Anyone here has watched him play/has some info?

He went to VCU (like Larry Sanders, different eras though) and played for Shaka Smart. He was the DLeague player of the month for January. Hell of a defender, 6'4" if I remember correctly. Super pesky defender, was always near the NCAA leader in steals. He's a kind of skinny athletic, typical basketball body. He tore his ACL his senior year of college, but before that he was hyper-quick and hyper-athletic. I've seen some highlights on his Instagram feed, and I think he still has that in him. He played for Memphis and Miami previously, but he was one of Miami's last cuts this summer. He's a solid playmaker and shot a ton of threes in college.

He also played with Troy Daniels, who's carved out quite the role in Memphis this year.
I'm a big VCU fan if you can't tell :D

Noel is more of a traditional 4 if anything.

Miami has been fun to watch lately. Waiters is having a career resurrection.

Melo on the bench the last like 7-8 minutes and Knicks bench goes on a run.

His time in NY is running out honestly...

Wow. Knicks cut a 27 point deficit to 5 without Carmelo.

Cleveland still hung on to win.

Idk maybe CLE aren't trying as much but they clearly don't look dominant these days.

They'll probably run through the East still but against Golden State or San Antonio they will really struggle even when JR Smith returns.

I'm afraid that he'll accept a trade to Toronto.

Something like Ross, Patterson, Joseph, Poeltl for Melo. Or maybe Suily or a pick instead of one of those guys.

Toronto wants to win now.

Lowry
Derozan
Carroll
Melo
V

That's a scary starting 5

I'd rather have them win it all over either of Cavs/Warriors.

Couldn't agree with you more.

I want him for us on the cheap, though.
