Not trying to read too much into it, but this is a very big and positive statement by Melo. It looks like a major hangup Melo had was with Bearup. hmm, a step in the right direction maybe? Can only hope!!

They said it.

Asked about the Nuggets getting rid of Bret Bearup from the front office, Carmelo Anthony said: "That's a step. I think that was a big step, not just for Josh (Kroenke) and Masai (Ujiri), but for the whole organization — for the whole league to know what they're doing here, to make progress. Positive (step). They made some changes, obviously for the better of the organization. That's their decision."
