    There is no playing time for Wade here unless Gordon gets injured. He is going to take a buyout to come play 5-10 minutes in Houston on an irregular basis? No chance.

    We ran a four guard rotation last year with no problem. Wade doesn't need anything over 22 minutes per game which can be had, especially towards the end of the year when we try resting James and CP3 a little more.

    Wade is making $20+ million this season. Next summer he can join us for the vet minimum of around $2.5 mil. At best he could make around $10-14 mil on the open market next year, with his age and injury history. So we're talking about a $7.5-11.5 mil pay cut to play with his friends, and maybe one last shot at a ring.

    "Piquing" lol. I remember when words like these use to make us Rockets fans feel good and we'd have a 1000+ post thread on it. It's cute.

    Thankfully, all of us Rockets fans know by now that "piquing" means jack **** lol and usually it is total total total bullshit. Melo wants Rockets is music to my ears. Portland fans will soon find out that terms such as "piquing" means absolutely jack ****. Portland fans, you aren't getting Melo. It's Houston or bust. It's that simple.

    if you have a chance to sign a multi-ring future HOFer who can contribute in the playoffs then you make it work

    pbev lou
    harden ego

    did lou only play 5 to 10 mins on an irregular basis?

    or you think MDA would rather play taylor or brown instead of wade

    Melo is using Portland as leverage to pressure HOU and NYK to get a deal done. Melo does not actually want to go to Portland.

    I hear Dwight is "50/50" between going to the Rockets and remaining in LA.

    He's mainly pressuring Houston to increase its offer so the deal can get done. Morey looks down and says "No!"
