IF Melo goes on the trade block, should the Rockets get him?

    Are you kidding? A healthy Bargnani doesn't just camp out by the 3 point line. He actually gave Howard a fit playing some 5. The Knicks were getting back to playing some basketball before Bargnani went down trying to do a Jordan move. Man is a good stretch 4 that can play some 5. Worth way more than Novak.

    Harden is turning into a young Melo in front of our eyes, and you want the real Melo come here to mentor him?

    Neither of whom would get a single minute on the Rockets without injuries.

    A great player. But no thanks. There's only one basketball in a game.

    Lol @ the people acting like, Harden never played with a ball dominate player before, did they need 3 balls in OKC.. I wonder how they went to the finals with 3 ball dominate players.. smh

    Don't forget arguably the reason Melo failed was because his team gave up a lot to get him, which made his team fall short.

    I would expect Melo to act as if he is staying and then bolt at the last second so that the team he does go to doesn't lose any talent in the process, AKA Lebron going to the Heat.

    I don't think he goes on the Knicks trade block is what I was saying.

    "not a bit hyperbolic," more like delusional. Melo's is weak sauce, even in the Eastern conference.

    Not a good fit. I think we need a big guy who is a reliable two way player. Defense is our problem at the moment. I think this team is getting close to being a contender

    Thanks for the well thought out and heavily supported critique. I can't argue with weak sauce. It is obvious why you have all of the rep bars. I SURRENDER!
