    Cool Random Stat:

    If the Rockets pick up Rondo as a backup (say, if nothing else to prevent GSW from getting him after a rumored buyout, hence Bulls selling the Jordan Bell pick), that would give the Rockets the last 6 APG leaders in the NBA on one team. And the last 10 leaders who are still active (Nash won in 2010 and 2011), but Paul was second in 2010 and Rondo was second in 2011. :D

    ps: don't bother arguing the merits of Rondo as a vet-minimum backup, I'm just trying to show a cool stat.

    Nobody wanted to trade for Melo before right?

    Who wants to trade for him now?

    Just buy him out already.

    If the choice is trade for Melo and keep Gordon or Paul George and lose Gordon I think I might prefer Melo/Gordon.

    Lucky for us, Melo has a no-trade clause and wants to join our team.

    I would rather let the Cavs take PG and send Kevin Love down here.

    Man, put me in that picture! And I don't even like Mello. Suddenly anything and everything seems possible.

    Both Lowe and Bill Simmons saying nobody will touch Anderson's contract. Gawd, I hope they're wrong!

    That contract is a dumpster fire composed of tires, I doubt they are wrong.

    the question is how bad do the knicks want melo gone..... are they willing to just keep him if he turns down any trade offers that arent to houston, or would they eventually just cave to get him out the door and end the distraction ?

    Lowe is smart but Bill Simmons is literally just a BBS poster who someone thought was funny and because he was from Boston he got to be a star.
