    Nobody even wants to help Melo out by trading for him and waiving him? My how the mighty has fallen.

    I'll always remember MCW setting the three pointer record, thus appearing in all future dictionaries under "irony."

    Even though you didn't do a lot on the court, I appreciate you being positive and not causing any problems from the bench. I know me and @Williamson memed you a lot, but thank you for your time here. You seem like a good guy.

    It's some kind of weird double standard that the league will prop up anyone with size no matter how deficient their basketball abilities are but the same can't be said for "shorter" players (relatively speaking of course).

    I mean also he sucks, don't get me wrong.

    It's just weird to me that MCW, Roberson, Brewer, these kind of guys are measured by how they shoot while Capela, Howard, Drummond, Jordon, etc. go on to million dollar contracts even though about half of clutchfans.net can beat them from the charity stripe after their day job.

    MCW was a negative who barely played and helped set the 3 point record, so overall he balanced out. Melo tried but couldn't adjust to his new role and was an ever worse negative on the court with no positives to balance him out. So in conclusion, MCW had a more positive impact.

    Both were terrible signings.

    No knight maybe packaged with melo should be next! Guess what Dc lost Wall for the season. Knight would be great there!

    They do need to keep some players, especially expirings, to sweeten a trade. What trade? **** if I know. Only one month to wait.

    while possible knight could be on the move, with cp3 and gordon on the sidelines right now I think they're more cautious atm

    Rockets gambled by signing early so they could move him early. It didn’t work and we didn’t really lose anything.

    Never understood crapping on moves that are on the margins and easily can be moved on.

    the rockets were terrible to begin the season and he was never an ideal fit for this team from day 1. I'd say those were pretty good reasons to crap on moves that don't make your team better.
