When players are young, they play for money. When they get older, they play for rings... or friends... or both!
Melo is going to meet Lakers on Thursday i don't think he will have a decision until early next week so i don't think we will know before July 4th
Yup, when you're young and single you go for the money. As you grow older and have a family you will think otherwise.
With Clutch confirming all of the doc rocket rumors, I guess I can finally close this web page and quit pressing refresh.

I would hope that getting Jordan Hill would suggest that we land a backup 5 and 2 more PF's so that he never plays....like ever. On our current team, he'd be the 5th best option at PF behind Howard, DMo, Jones, and Parsons, and the 3rd best option at center behind Howard and DMo. Maybe he's a good cheerleader and he'll step into the Marcus Camby/Dikembe Mutombo role

J.Hill is a realistic signing and I fully expect the Rockets to go after players like him after we (hopefully) notch a big time free agent or even go the trade route for Love.
