    The problem with Melo is his iq and softness. He opts for a bad shot everytime and on defense he's ****ing clueless specially on the switch or help defense. And now he's fatter,older, and slower.

    Maybe Cp3 can mask this atrocity.

    JVG: Looking forward to seeing how Carmelo Anthony-to-Houston works out. It's a fascinating move, both for he & the team. They lost some defensive oriented perimeter players & added one of the great scorers of all time, who looked a little bit unhappy in OKC. Wonder how it'll change the dynamics of Houston, both locker room & on the court.

    This is the correct attitude, my man. Give the guy a chance before putting him on a cross.

    When it does become official, I wonder how many more threads that will create.

    Ha, @Deuce beat me to it.

    One for when he actually signs.

    Another for when Berman gets the creepy airport interview

    Another when/if he has a press conference.

    surprised nobody started a thread w/ flight tracker yet -- "melo now 5 hours away from landing at IAH, although prevailing headwinds could move that back to 5hrs 45min"

    Who knows, there might even be a thread on James and Melo celebrating the signing at the strip clubs afterwards.

    I don't get why anybody is worried about the locker room or even chemistry on the court. If he is signing for the minimum we can just cut his ass.

    haha, true. "Melo's plane is currently on a zero three zero heading at flight level three three zero, with a cruising altitude of 500 knots, but due to forecast weather and possible moderate to severe turbulence at IAH, expect possible delays or airport diversion."

    Oh! You can be rest assured that when that plane lifts off, KRIV, KHOU, KPRC & KTRK will be covering it like Santa on Christmas Eve!!! :D

    No you can't just cut his ass like any other player when his best friend on the team is CP3. Politics would matter. Further, I could easily see this causing a rift between Harden-Paul where they take sides on whether Melo should be cut/benched.

    Hoping for the best and I know we had to take risks this summer, but we shouldn't ignore the obvious.

    I can’t imagine things getting so bad to the point that Melo gets cut...that would be a huge fall from grace for Melo

    MOFs would go to the Morey office to demand Morey to be fired if Melo is going to get cut.

    I hope they have a saying that verbal agreements mean nothing. Peeps change their minds.

    I am positive about Melo though but in the business world never trust in verbal agreements.

    I hope CP3 can focus on his own agenda and mask his injury history.
