    But would it be where he just gets waived? Wouldn’t that make Bill Simmons correct?

    Whenever Bill Simmons is correct, a little part of me dies.

    Because we can’t include him in any sort of trade (what would we get for him anyway?) until the deadline, I believe?

    Melo isn't all that is wrong with the team this year but he is not much help and at this point I wouldn't care if he stays or goes. This is looking like a team that missed it's chance last year and will eventually need to start over (sit Harden out and hit it big in the draft).

    Could this explain CP3s inept performance?

    Bingo! Everyone but deluded Rockets fans could see that.

    He literally does everything we dont do and doesn't do what we do lulz..

    ..and he is not even good at what he does do!

    And you can add winning to that list.

    If the mutual decision is to part ways, you better believe this has James Harden's and Chris Paul's blessing already.

    People tried to tell me that Paul would handle the situation. That Melo would want to get with the program. Etc etc.

    Based on all the interviews last year from Melo, it was hard to believe that he would come here and just be a role player. I hope this is all smoke, but would not surprise me at all if it is true.

    Lol at “roster situation”

    If my job is weighing my “employment situation” it’s probably not a good sign.

    No surprise at all. Of course he wasn't going to be happy being a role player. He still believes he is a star in this league.
