New Slimmer Melo, following in lebrons footsteps

Melo is looking like a new person in this pic. Earlier this summer we saw lebron had dropped significant weight and now I see melo has too. It makes you wonder if these guys all of sudden want to take their game to the next level/elongate their careers (hopefully), or if they are laying off some extra help they may have had in years past.

Yes Caseyr with his first thread. Seems like a trend for everyone, DWade, Lebron and now Melo losing weight to lessen impact on the knees. I always thought muscle mass was overrated in the game, this makes sense.
