    What's going on with Melo ?

    Do y'all think there is any chance he comes back ?

    Part of the reason he and the rockets "parted ways" is because the rockets were sucking . Personally, I think that there's a small chance that if everything gets rolling again and can establish consistency.... that we try to bring Melo back in a small role .

    How much is Melo making this year again ? (I know we are paying vet min , but isn't he also getting a bunch of $ from ATL ?)

    Given our depth issues , if we can't swing a trade ... maybe he worth another look as a pure shooter . I'm assuming if he has any professional/personal pride he is still working out

    No way Melo ever agrees to come back imho. The Rockets don’t need him back either

    Melo ain't coming back, that experiment is done, probably should've never brought him on board in the first place

    No return. Got blamed for everything wrong in this world and Rockets.

    Lakers will wait out until Melo is cut or waived. No urgency on the part of the Lakers.
    Hawks/Rockets money equal to a boat-load this season.

    Will join an already successful Lakers team (record-wise) and take his 73.7 (FG%) on post up plays.

    LeBron, Ingram and Kuzma are going to feast on cutting to the rim for layups and lobs.

    Trade him for a very expensive luxury saving bag of chips.

    Yo do realize that not one Rockets person blamed him for anything and our offense is much better since he left?

    "We're going to release Carmelo because we want to give his minutes to Gary Clark. That is unfair to Carmelo so we will part ways." :D

    No Rockets players blamed him. I was not including Rockets players when I said everyone.

    Rockets offense has done better.....ok. Melo played in the first 10 games.

    James Ennis game logs......missed 3 of those games Melo played in
    https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/e/ennisja01/gamelog/2019
    CP3 game logs...........missed 2 of those games Melo played for us
    https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/p/paulch01/gamelog/2019
    Harden game logs.......missed 3 of those games Melo played for us
    https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/h/hardeja01/gamelog/2019
    Nene game logs............missed all of those games Melo played for us
    https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/h/hilarne01/gamelog/2019

    Only people that don’t know NBA basketball think that we can play the next 10 games with these
    players missing the same number of games......and be successful or as a top notch offense.
    Take Harden out and we may not score more than 70 points. Harden missed 3 of those 10 games.
