    Wonder if we consider playing Tucker with Melo to guard 4s.

    Gotta think we didn't give up cash just to be the team to cut Kelly. Hopefully something happens.

    Blazers fans despise him. He doesn't care enough about basketball. The guy has been a huge disappointment.

    But, you better believe the Rockets will have to absorb him if there is a 3-way trade with these teams that brings Melo here.

    If you want to go on a full bore defensive then you can go
    Paul
    Ariza
    Tucker
    Nene
    Capela

    in small spurts. That lineup is not only physical but it can disrupt the flow of any offense in a 2 to 4 minute burst.Trevor and Pj can guard 4 positions on the floor and Paul might have the best hands in the NBA at reading the passing lanes. Nene is a monster up front

    Tell Morey to sign Russ smith. Homey is killing it in the cba averaging 61 pts through 5 games. He also holds the the dleague scoring record at 65pts. 26 years old. Kemba walkeresh type of player. Can be backup pg

    Melo has something to prove
    I think that drives him next year

    He does not want to be Barkley or Malone

    Why is everyone posting celebratory gifs and talking like this is a done deal? Did I miss something? This is still just an unsubstantiated potatohead rumor correct?

    Yes, if the Cavaliers decide they want to trade a better player than Melo (love) for Melo, they could absolutely do that. Why people are convinced that they'd rather have the worse player, Melo, than the better player, Love, is beyond me.

    Hey guys, I just made a new twitter that constantly updates the public with things like: "Knicks have been taking calls from Rockets regarding Carmelo Anthony," and, "Knicks don't want to take on Ryan Anderson's contract, so the two parties are discussing how to move forward," and "Rockets are working on gathering assets to send to the Knicks," and "Rockets and Knicks looking for a third team to involved in a blockbuster deal for Carmelo Anthony to become a Rocket." Wanna give me a follow?
