    If the rockets can keep those 5 players and add Butler. (Seems impossible) I will start jumping and screaming when I hear the news. Seriously that would be one stacked ass team there.

    In terms of importance to winning, I'd put him behind Harden, CP3, Capela, EG, and Tucker.

    Tucker is super important to the team.

    Oh, that's fine for him to say it. They can sell stuff. I am just tempering expectations from a production stand point.

    "So where do you see yourself in 5 years?"

    @H-Town Melo "Well, I know my talents and I know my skills, I can't foresee coming off the bench for you guys in a limited role"

    Agreed. In addition to his general defensive quality, KD couldn't (or wouldn't) drive on him, which is weird considering that Blake destroyed him last season 1-on-1. Everyone has people they do and don't match-up well against, and Tucker seems to be one of those guys that can give KD problems...problems KD can overcome, but problems none-the-less.

    is there still a chance that Melo signs with another team? or it's pretty much set that he'll be a Rocket?

    Pretty much set he'll be a Rocket. 99.5% ... which is less than 100%.

    It'll take a turnover at the goal line...

    Hey man if 6th most important is what helps you guys win a championship then so be it. I just can't believe the depths some would go to make themselves feel better about this.

    "Yeah we got Melo but he's like the 6th most important player"

    LMAO

    Anything to not give the guy any credit however since he is the 6th most important I don't think any blame can be put on him. I mean is it Shaun Livingston's fault the Warriors lost in 2016?

    Yes, two minute warning currently. Rockets have the ball, 1st and goal on the one yard line.

    Pretty sure its set in stone he is coming here. Hes been with CP3 and the Rockets most of this offseason. Granted, he can go to another team. However, what team really going to allow him to reclaim some of his glory?

    Carmelo Anthony to the Warriors would cause this board to explode.....

    See KD come out with a hoodie on.... rat face Curry in a hoodie..... and in the middle Anthony in a hoodie being held up by donkey and Cousins on their shoulders.

    The Warriors release House and the Rockets sign him to start at SF.

    He's worked out with CP3
    He went to USA mini camp to talk to JH and EGO
    Morey, MDA, JH have all spoke about him directly/indirectly

    He's a Rocket.
