    Don’t like that we traded Melton ....he might wanted a larger part of the midlevel. It’s odd that he wasn’t signed yet. I knew if Ryan was traded it would be for another contract that only had two years left....those expiring contracts are the easiest way to upgrade the team by trading the expiring contract for a higher caliber player. Chriss is a nice kid, but I think Melton had a lot of upside. I’m honestly disappointed but in Morey I trust

    Good trade. Security for Paul as well.

    Wow great trade. Knight is expiring and might be serviceable for Cp3 rest games. Chriss is a total bonehead but has good physical tools and might be salvageable under the right conditions. I still think Melton might be the best player in the trade but overall Chriss' upside and dumping Ryno easily make up for that. Definitely picking up Melton in fantasy this year.

    Chriss has great defensive potential

    Hopefully it ends the same way, but we aren't getting anyone near 6th man James Harden in return.

    I like RA as a solid character guy, but he HAD to go. Whatever it took, even if it meant Melton, a nice young talent. Morey is amazing!

    Not the absolute best value for Melton, but I like Knight's and (to a lesser extent) Chriss's potential in our offense.

    High risk, high reward on Knight. Any videos of him working out recently??

    Wow! I’m so sad to see Melton go. He’s going to be a stud for Phoenix and may actually pick them up a few more wins this year.

    Anderson definitely helped out Houston to overcome some of the aftershocks surrounding the 41-41 and was great in the Houston area. I wish him success with Ariza in Phoenix.

    We’ll see w/ Knight and Chriss. I’m more hopeful for Knight and he will be a good backup on an expiring contract.

    Scrub Ryno finally gone!!! Time to pop bottles.

    Knight has 1 more year on his deal, and Chriss has some potential. Knight can be that 4th guard and CP3 insurance like we hoped the likes of Jameer Nelson could’ve been for us last season if we got him.

    @ch44 said it would most likely not be the greatest of deals. He was right.

    Would not shock me if both players are moved during the season.
