    I'm sure a team sitting above us is not thinking they're not going anywhere. Imagine if Morey dumped a key role player while we were in 4th.

    I disagree that their front office agrees with that. If it were true, it's not the expiring contract they'd be dumping.

    Don’t think the house situation will impact anything. It’s a normal negotiation issue

    Ken: Ok coach, what do you want me to do?

    MDA: Ken, you see the guy with the beard?

    Ken: Yeah coach that's James

    MDA: Ok, you go ask him what he wants you to do.

    Hang in there codman. We are all pulling for you!!

    Your intel is very interesting. The Melo trade targets make a ton of sense. Miami, Portland, Lakers. I also wonder if Philly is a spot since they could use the shooting.

    Getting back a player like Ellington or Aminu would be tremendous for Melo. Ellington would save Miami money and they are in the LT so I could see that make sense. I can't see Portland giving up Aminu in a Melo deal but I would gladly do it.

    I don't see any way Beas comes back to Houston with MDA. In that case if it was Melo for Beas I would guess Lakers would send CASH to offset the Rockets LT bill on Beas on a release. Just doing Melo a favor.

    He's been in Houston for a days, and Nunnally played a few hours after arriving Houston, so I'd say he's playing tonight.

    I remember House doing a step back 3 in the corner in one game and he made it and Harden was on the bench and jumped out of his seat waving a towel. Yeah, it is clear Harden is a big supporter.

    I keep thinking back to that item on Feigen's article saying that Harden, Tucker, Green and House would stay after practice and play 1 on 1. There is a tight circle there.

    Aminu would be such a great get. He’s solid defensively and can hit a corner 3. I HIGHLY doubt they move him though.

    As for Ellington ehhh whatever. Another shooter who can’t defend a lick

    kinda ****ed up to give Nunally like 20+ minutes on some of these games on the 10-day contract and then cut him from the team.

    I'm sure Nunally is getting cut. There is no way Rockets trade Melo in the next few hours.

    Pretty fair look at how Faried will fit in with the Rockets
