Feigen: Rockets want Melo off the bench, may sign with Miami

If he chooses to go to Miami than he doesn’t care about winning anything and we’ll have dodged that bullet again. No worries. If we actually had a conversation about his role and he’s bought in and accepted than great.

 

Smart guy.

 

I wanna see YOLO's face then he hears "At forward number 7 from Syracuse, Carmelooooooooo ANTHONY!!!!"

 

Rocket have to do the dumb stuff with the Monstars in GSW; have to get "stars". Plus, I think it is less like Rockets are being deceptive and more like the Rockets showing what is better for the team. They well try what Melo wants then show that it's better this way.. just like Dwight.

Dwight caused that drama because he is emotionally 10 years old. Rockets tried it his way then transitioned to the better way, with better results, but Dwight was too much of a dummy to see it.

I think it is just like when a corner stone player gets traded to a team with one year remaining on their contract (PG13 to OKC) the team is taking a gamble that the player will be sold on the product and stay. Not saying Melo is a cornerstone player, but he might be sold on the idea of a different role.

I think it's worth the Gamble..

Also CP3 will teach Melo to have heart.. maybe off the bench..

 

If he doesn't come on our terms then we move onto the next one. If he does come on our terms it could be a very exciting season.

 

Good question. Tucker? With Ryno back to PF?

 

I don't think LA has any money right now outside of the minimum.

 

He won't because Melo won't start if he comes here remember? They don't announce the bench names.

 

Completely agree. The Rockets are about winning. Melo moving to the bench seems like a winning move. If Melo can see that, then it's best for everyone. If not then it probably wouldn't have worked out anyway.

The question remains though....who plays SF?

 

If Melo is truly leaning towards Miami, it's because he knows we don't want/need him here that badly. Same as last year when we wouldn't trade EGo in the deal to bring him here. He took that as a message that we're just not that into him.

 

If Melo comes here he will start but coach will have Melo and CP3 playing with the second unit while the MVP rest. Morey needs to find at least one more vet that can make 3s and play solid defense.

 

I'm implying if and when Melo starts.

 

This is what really should happen.

 

this is not true. melo wanted to goto houston. ny didn't like anything the rockets were offering so they went with okc

 

Morey won't let Melo get away again. He's been wooing him for years. I remember when he fed him lobster corn dogs and empanadas.

Melo, not wanting to come off the bench, is as funny as @FLASH21 attempting to "know" a summer league player for the Rockets by the name of "Greg Williams" and then defending it. They are both jabronies.

 

The fact that he's even talking to Miami and seriously considering it proves what his priorities are.

One team is a bottom playoff team in the East with Whiteside as the second star the other is a championship contender with his good friend in the roster.

 

Not only that but it’s more of a “I gotta keep showing my peers I’m an alpha equal to them” “ defenders will think I lost a step” “once a bench player always a bench player”

 

but he may end up having wade there to keep him company

 

i'm ready....again
