    Great! Finally someone that I have heard of. Not another one of those randomly generated NBA2K players!

    Rockets probably want to try and do something like send Melo somewhere and pay the other team cash to waive him. I know there is a limit of cash that teams can trade though, right?

    At this point it's score more than the opponent til the Calvary arrives. Pick and roll all day with harden

    Just giving up on defense entirely. Though I guess he can't be any worse than Chriss/Hartenstein or the 5 out lineups.

    I don’t think he fits our system very well.....but he’s an NBA player. Much like Rivers, we need real NBA players. So can’t complain.

    He will definitely get a revitalization. If you look at his per 36 minute numbers in his minimal 118 minutes this season, it is 18.6 pts, 13.4 rebs. He's shooting 59.5% FG. So you give him a great pick and roll ball handler, a spread floor and he should definitely get all the opportunity to put up numbers.

    So long as he never has to defend against any players as good as DMo, he might not be too terrible.

    He can both rebound and run Capela's p'n'r set with Harden better than Gary Clark. What's not to like?

    And for the 6'8 PF crew... get it right please. 6'8 center!!

    he fits perfectly. especially when he's a pick and roll player as well as an energy player. solid option as a backup 5 and a vet who's still only 29

    I remember him being a pretty good PF with lots of highlights and potential when he was in denver. What happened to him?

    That was my first Nuggets game after I moved to Denver. We sat right in front of that play, but I was too drunk to remember, and my friend had to tell me about it. :(

    Not at all, it's a thinly disguised "We should have gotten DMo instead" comment along with a "Faried is hot garbage" comment LOL
