Flip is leveraging the Rockets against everyone else and if the Rockets don't cave first then Love will be traded elsewhere. Trying to get Love for less is being greedy.
I'm guilty on the Melo hype. I knew LBJ wasn't leaving Miami. But I seeiot thought Melo would come lol
I thought it was Golden State Flip is using for leverage and he is waiting for them to cave to include Clay in the trade unless someone comes with a better offer.
@Thedocrocket: If Rox=smart, they AMP their bench w/players that R about 2B cut. #Patience > #greed! McHale=Love. Now, Who knows! We lose if Love goes!

Don't worry! Notice how quiet it is now......THIS IS THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM....After all these years, can't you recognize/ feel it? Get Ready.
I don't read it like that. I hope Love is the guy we get. He was always my 1A. LeBron was a pipe dream. I read it as if we are not going to get Love but we will see.
Its nearly the same tweet as this one.... <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>If Rox are smart: forget big 3! Focus on Bosh, Dunleavy, Ilyasova, etc...& build the bench. Screw Melo!

I read it as being the Rockets having gone out all or nothing for Love and they're in a position to lose out on everything, ie no Parsons and no Love.
God if we lose Parsons and Asik and don't get Love or Melo in return we are screwed. Talk about a waste of Harden and Howard
I agree with Doc Rocket. We do not need to be greedy. Focus on players we can sign and not trade for. It feels like Barkley trade all over again.
Dunleavy would really thrive playing off of Harden and Howard. Honestly, I wouldn't mind Boozer at the vet min one bit.
Maybe I am just being overly optimistic but "LOVE is in the air" might mean we got him, but we need to get it done quickly, and we need to focus on him and then getting solid role and bench players, and not get carried away with stars, or we will end up losing out on it all.
