    Stephen A. and Carmelo definitely have a relationship with each other. Call it symbiotic. That's why I give this some credence. Melo just isn't one of those stars that's going to go down gracefully, on and off the court. Let's hope he has one more season in him.

    Well he's not wrong yet. We have to see how Melo responds to the bench role. It's easy for him to accept it before it's even officially happened.

    It would be hilarious though for the Rockets' bench to destroy opposing teams' reserves this season and wind up with Melo winning 6th Man.

    I hope Melo starts, I mean if I'm Melo and I care about starting I'm gonna feel miffed if they start Ennis or MCW over me. It's one thing if he was a guard like Gordon and he has to come off the bench for Harden or Cp3 but we have vet min at SF and not because Ennis took a discount.

    So I hope MDA does the right thing and starts Melo at sf or pf since it will keep him happy. I mean the dude did take a discount and is playing for vet min, having him start is a small concession imho.

    Former 6th man of the year cant even get a mention? Lulz.

    One of the reasons Melo was targeted though... big name, at a cheap rate compared to boring role players like Ariza/Luc. Sell tickets. No doubt about it.

    Someone in the comments shares a Ben DuBose tweet that the Rockets did that last year, with Eric Gordon.

    I agree with Stephen A. Smith. If Melo comes off the bench there is going to be a problem in Houston... FOR EVERY TEAM THAT VISITS!

    Not surprised.

    Steven Smith does not care about the Rockets, so his advise does not have Rockets best interest in mind.

    Steven Smith only cares about his buddy Melo and a bag of Cheeze Doodles.

    It's literally a 50/50 guess. He's hardly right.
