    I thought he got the Mills/GM situation right recently? He called what ended up happening.. maybe I'm wrong.

    Rockets: You good?
    Ryno: Paid
    He improved our chances of winning WHEN James goes space jam in the playoffs

    Another scenario could be the Knicks are insisting on getting Capela or Gordon. The Rockets probably told them to kick rocks. The Knicks probably said "you got to give up something more than Anderson" and then that's when we started hearing 3-4 team trade rumors. So all this is probably so the Rockets may buckle and give up Gordon/Capela which I don't see happening. If Melo stays strong they'll be forced to get back whatever we want them too

    I recall him breaking it first, but in this world of tweets and retweets, who knows anymore.

    Losing Gordon and Anderson for Melo would only make you marginally better if Melo and Paul stay healthy.

    Keeping Gordon is key as he is our .5 star.

    Morey won't let Gordon go. He is very important to our team.

    I'm not freaking out. Anderson with Paul and Harden is fine to start the season in a worst case scenario, but Melo to Houston by next week is my guess.

    This is what I find so hilarious. Our worst case scenario is still way better than most team's best case scenario. Marching into the season with Anderson next to Harden and CP3 is still a very good situation to be in.

    I can't deal bro, it's becoming too much at this point. They can't just pick a direction and stick to a plan.

    I think we will hear some fireworks today from Melo's camp.

    One would dream he would double down and say he only wants to play for Houston now. Cutting off more leverage.

    I'm still of the mindset that anderson is a very good player who has a chance to perform well this season + playoffs if he stays. Cp3 and harden will get him great looks.

    You obviously move him for a 3rd star like melo by all means necessary but some people are acting as if we are stuck with leroy jenkins hoggin our cap lol

    I think its dolan man. Yall will probably get good once a new owner is in place. I truly believe dolan might be the worst owner in pro sports. I always trust a self made man more than someone who inherits most of his wealth.

    He is too attracted to "big name" moves. What was that isiah thomas hire all about?

    Les alexander is from new york. Im sure a ton of dudes would love to buy that team if dolan ever sells.

    they had to put a stop to all the rumors and leaks that were being discussed on national media. Once this thing gets quite then the trade just pops out of no where, this is how morey operates he's unpredictable and you guys should know that.

    Worst case is CP3 passing to Anderson in the corner... I'm ok with that.

    Same here, but some people lose their minds over it.

    Did you watch Anderson's playoffs this season? That's why.
