    Russ already going to sign a new deal soon.
    Pg13 Lebron and Ingram ball will do nothing in the west.

    Yea if this does happen i want the rockets to sign a bunch of thugs around Harden and JOchee. You know some dudes who could take some hard fouls and screens, and looks scary like green. Maybe even bring in Deandre and Demarcus with all that money, and let chee play SF. Make a bid for wiggins...

    Harden
    Wiggins
    JO Chee
    Deandre
    Demacus.

    That would be a bangin roster.

    Why couldn't he demand opt out after 1st year of any new deal?
    Like KD did last year from GS
    OKC couldn't say no and push him out the door

    I know I'm getting ahead of myself but say we do get Melo and Dump Anderson and the rest of our new ngs how much cap space and exceptions do we have to sign another worthy FA

    Sure hope not. Ariza and tucker give us a lot of options and looks we can throw at super athletic teams with more than one badass. Without Gordon we lose all our guard depth. It would hurt

    More likely that theres no way we get Melo without trading at least one of them. Probably EG because cp3 likes Ariza

    Never say never, but as close to no chance as possible.

    Have any of the "insiders" talked about EG or Ariza being dealt? I don't recall seeing anything. I hope Morey somehow pulls it off

    Obviously you hope not but I know that if getting Melo came down to giving one of them up Morey wouldn't blink and would get the deal done.
