I see people saying we got no backup for Melo, but brewer is 6-7 235, he can play the 3, esp. when Shump gets back. Novak is a shooter not a PF, can't guard either but can log minutes at the 3 depending on opponent.

I would love a back up of of Martin's caliber but we're currently full at 15 men right now. I don't see the team cutting Cope, he worked hard for his spot.

I agree. Missing one more star player to take the defensive focus of Melo for a deep playoff run

Thats why I think Amare should play most of his minutes with th 2nd unit but still start so if him and Melo get that chemistry down you have a good one two punch to start halfs but then Amare plays mostly with the 2nd unit so they have a go to scorer.
