    I 100% agree with you. Obviously Capela is a huge asset to lose with his age, but if we're thinking outside the box it can make us better. We need that lengthy athletic guy. But we can't get him. He wouldn't sign for the vet min with us over Warriors.

    I remember that game. None of our bigs could do anything against him, including Capela.

    He might would if we offered him a starting spot.

    Melo is not waiving his NTC for Portland. Cleveland is not giving up Love for Melo. The Knicks need to get Melo off their team before the season starts. Something's gotta give and it's not going to be us. We can wait the Knicks out while they chase a lost cause.

    Our record is going to be amazing with or without Melo. We have two superstars and are deep enough to win 55+. We don't need him here next week or even by training camp. Our team just needs to be better by next year's playoffs, simple as that. If the Knicks want to torpedo their rebuilding efforts and waste their own time, that's on them. We're ready to roll as is.

    Man, was hoping this would get done sooner the it looks like gonna be. I still fully expect Melo to be a Rocket next season, but I'm anxious!

    Really just a terrible spot NY is in. They have to get rid of him, and he wants the Rockets, and no one else.

    No one wants to play with Harden right? Is that why everyone is clamouring over themselves to get to Houston right!?

    As expected, Melo and Rose have told them to kick rocks and trade him to Houston.

    This week. Let's get this done.

    They can only blame themselves for giving him the NTC to begin with.

    D'Antoni offense work from the 4 spot.

    Pick n pop at the top of the key with the ability to shoot, drive it and finish or drive it and kick.

    Also that post up, skip pass then trail to the corner for the 3...deadly if that skip is to Harden on the weakside.

    Woj: "Scott Perry's the new General Manager. He wants to negotiate his (Melo) own trade with them (the Rockets)."

    Yup, everything he is shown doing seems to be for MDA's offense.
    Man can't wait for him to be a rocket already.
    This saga has been dragging for so long.

    How is this going to affect Melo trade? Is Melo now less passionate about coming to Houston?
