    everything done by any of 29 teams each year “doesn’t work”

    I am here for "just be careful" becoming this season's ClutchFans meme to replace "not having fun".

    Every player in the league should "be careful" as we approach trade deadline and the offseason.

    Because a player is past his prime doesn't qualify him as washed up. Washed up scrubs don't win player of the week, kudos to Melo for making idiots of his critics

    Good. They can hang out with TMac and complain that the Rockets are unfair and that James Harden is such a meanie. Then they can trade stories about all their playoff disappointments when they were the alpha dogs of their teams.

    There is a narrative that the Rockets are the bad guy. Good. It means that you are relevant and matter. You think the Patriots or Yankees care that people think their organizations are evil? No.

    The reality was Anthony did not or could not play defense. He couldn't set up a play for anyone else and refused to set a simple screen. He was basically a guy looking to be setup for a shot and couldn't or wouldn't do anything else. Problem was the team's offense and defense was out of sync because of this not to mention the high volume of missed shots Anthony took.

    Yea you made this up as you typed it. I watched every game & know how absurdly stupid this is. Show me ONE shred of proof Melo refused to set a screen. Who exactly are your sources?

    That's profound (and a bit sad). Melo, himself hasn't gone directly after the Rockets, despite media being a mouthpiece and try to make a story that's not there. He's on a team now, the media should move on.
