    Under no circumstances do I think we should get rid of Melton right now. I think we can raise his value a lot

    Untouchable? Relax bruh

    I don’t want to just give him away to dump Ryno, but he can get included in a trade for a good player all day

    My reference to you specifically noted the onuaku move. No idea you’re stance on Ariza, skill wise, cap wise or otherwise.

    I love James Johnson, always wanted him on this team however, the problem is Tucker makes him redundant. They are both better playing small ball 4/5. We badly need a 3.

    Harden gets lost all the time, cuz he just resting on defense. He was a very solid defender in OKC. Plus the Rockets switch everything mentality helps players not get lost as frequently.

    Lastly Rudy Gobert DPOY is also French, not sure what you mean by that.

    That's fine. Against the Warriors, if Johnson lives up to his billing and bullying, could be part of a death lineup.

    CP
    Gordon
    Harden
    Tucker
    Johnson

    Good balance of offense and defense.

    Iko’s report came from the ATL/Bazemore side, Amick’s came from the Rockets

    Hate to give up both Melton and a first round pick (when was the last time we had a first round pick? Dekker?) But this seems fair to be able to get two guys who can contribute right now at a high role player level.

    It would be a lot of money coming back for Houston to pay out luxury tax wise (maybe that's why they got rid of Nanu - needed the roster spot and didnt want to pay tax on someone who wont contribute)

    I agree.

    As high as I am on Melton, I would reluctantly sacrifice the future for immediate need.

    Both Johnson and Bezamore would be an incredible get and fill the needs for the short contending window we have available.
