    Melo not playing SF on this Rockets team.

    And Green was more efficient at SF than SG, check out @ApacheWarrior stats on Ennis thread.

    Anderson and Nene are the worst in the league.

    Has Ennis signed with part of the MLE? I hope it is still intact. If Ennis is overweight, CP3 will yell at him so hard, that he will be forced to get in shape during the off season.

    Nene doesn't hurt you much, Anderson does.

    ...and Houston went on to acquire a future MVP with the roster flexibility he maintained by not giving in to Dragic's demands.

    THere won't be too much expectation from MCW. If he can just somehow stay in his role, he'll be fine.

    I like this if we're behind in the 4th, but not enough D for my liking. Wow, and yes, this isn't my ideal lineup...

    Paul/Melton/MCW
    Harden/Gordon/Green
    Ennis/Green/Melo
    Tucker/Melo/Ryno
    Capela/Nene/Hartenstein*Black*

    This is what we're looking at if Melo and Capela sign.

    I agree, not enough D. BUT If Melo signs then he starts IMO. And he and CP3 will sub out same time somewhere in 1st Q. With MCW and Ennis playing lots of minutes with Harden, Capela & EGo.

    Melo and Harden likely will not play together very many minutes for the obvious reasons unless Harden takes another step in his commitment to D. Which is highly possible, Bzdelik has made many believers on Rockets.

    In addition, regular season starters not necessarily post season starters. Will depend on match up and more importantly if Morey makes another move by deadline.

    I know nothing of this guy so I'm not excited, this off season still been a disappointing let down so far.

    The Rockets play position less basketball. Not much of a difference between the 2 and 3. And the 3 and 4. I’m just saying Anthony and Tucker will start at the forward positions. Green and Ennis will play on the wing off the bench.

    I really only expect him in key defensive situations as he’s a top defender on switches

    Ugh.

    Melo isnt even close to good enough to play the 3. That's a black hole both offensively and defensively . He will never play this position.

    Both can play during the regular season, neither are options against Golden State in the playoffs.

    I think Melton is working is way into 5-10 minutes a night with his current play in the SL.

    Paul
    Harden
    Ennis
    Tucker
    Capela
    Gordon
    Melo
    Green

    Melton
    Anderson
    Nene
    Qi
