    If Carmelo Anthony joined the Rockets this month, he would be gone by June. I just can't see gutting the team for a seventh or eighth seed and maybe a second round series. Moneyball just isn't designed for holding top players.

    Wonder if Morey would consider trading for a Melo rental via our non expiring pieces and then if Carmelo leaves we have Miami Heat type capspace.

    He said "anyone would like to play for that team," which is true because the energy and effort the Rockets showed today is infectious. However, that in no way means "he wants to come here", it sounds more like "he had to spend some time here for a spell of say a few months, he would enjoy his time here".

    I'm pretty sure by wearing red shoes tonight, he was trying to show us he's down w/ the idea of being in Rocket Red ;)

    I'd love for him to come play for us because even though we have a great player in Martin, Melo would attract other players to come join us if they knew he would be stick around here.

    My thoughts as well, after the "don't take that wrong, don't spin it " comment. I was kind of excited up until that point.

    Wow, really? He's wearing red shoes? Maybe he's trying to show Houston fans that he really wants to play for Rockets. Interesting.

    Actually watching his actual tone makes me more optimistic that he would actually sign an extension here.

    Someone tell Beyonce to speak to La La. Thanks.

    Haha Mark Berman trying hard as heck to get it out of him

    How do you feel about Houston?
    Would you re-sign in Houston?
    How would you feel about re-signing in Houston?
    Is this a place you would want to come?

    Mark kept on trying haha. Carmelo kept on giving the "correct" answer or rather playing things safe I guess you could say, ha.

    I don't know, the video wasn't encouraging at all, I don't think he likes playing here.
