    So in other words:
    - Rockets could trade for Kevin Love if LeBron leaves.
    - OKC could buy out Melo if they disappoint in the playoffs, who would then be free to sign with Houston.

    Why do you guys keep talking about totals? Larry is a 11M per year guy. Melo has 29M for his last year.

    All this talk of Tucker vs Melo is ludicrous. Melo plays half the game (offense, if you hadn’t guessed) extremely poorly and inefficiently. Tucker is passable on offense due to an above average corner 3 percentage and an elite defender. The choice is easy...

    Only because it's an effective 27 mil for Larry Sanders. It isn't something he was likely to recover. But, you do make a good point.

    This summer is the biggest moment in Murray's career. We need to keep our core intact while simultaneously bringing in another impact player.

    Consequently, Maori needs to be brilliant and get all this **** figured out.

    I kinda hope the Cavs gets swept.

    That or the other guys get a painful tear midseries.

    Yup, it's that kind of morning.

    So who NEEDS to stay?

    IMO next season's roster needs to keep Harden, CP3, Tucker and EG. Anderson is staying only because of that horrible contract.

    We need to put a moratorium on Love talk until everyone watches him in the Finals. I think he is too slow afoot to help us with GS.

    This is the off-season where Morey constructs a 70+ win championship juggernaut, with or without Lebron.

    TBH, I'm tired of getting excited of the offseason after every disappointing season.
