    Just to be clear, it's not Lebron coming here that I hate, it's the league being this way that I hate. I like Lebron a lot and would love to watch him in a Rockets uniform.

    I would definitely hope that he'd have enough integrity not to talk about loving the city or the fans lol.

    Gotta imagine having boogie and Davis in/entering their prime, they're done with prospect players. Jackson isn't grade A but it does get promise them getting closer to being a top tier team

    Way after.
    I've read a few times that a trade should not be expected before the rally.

    Kevin Durant changed the NBA, likely for a long time. This is the new reality. 2-3 super teams.

    You're selling me. However, I wouldn't call Ajinca a prospect. I don't know what his numbers are, but that dude beasts in the paint on defense. Really affects games.

    Jrue might be able to slide over though. Reggie is an instant energy boost.

    True Rockets fans must hope this trade fails. The only way to get all Banana Bros is for Rockets to keep Ryan Anderson, sign Melo (and Wade) to a small contract after buyout, then use Ryan Anderson in sign and trade for LeBron James.

    Getting Melo on huge contract with no trade clause kills Banana Bros!

    Possible if they want to let Chris have his shine and than Melo can do the same thing next week... but I honestly have a hard time believing that they would be holding off completely a deal over something so stupid seeing as how you never know if Cleveland increases their pursuit.

    No, if they don't announce it by then it's because there is no official deal to announce.

    This. It's most definitely not a timing issue. Why is it so hard to believe that this makes for a very complicated and difficult trade to pull off, and it's just not happening right now...To the point where we have people thinking that there's a hidden agenda to present this to the fans.

    Not necessarily... I may be wrong but if next year Melo opts out that means we go into the offseason with neither Melo or CP3s salaries. And would also have both players bird rights which is key!!!!!!!!!!

    Because we can go over the cap to retain players with bird rights I believe we could agree to a large contract possibly Max with a player than after that go over the cap to both retain CP3 and Melo... now someone is taking a pay cut but I think having both CP3 and Melos Bird rights is vital to the potential of a true banana boat super team.
