    I'm thinking more along the lines of Lowry, but Rondo would be nice on that team as well.

    I work down the street and I was going to go, but they never released a time when he was going to be showing up at. Who can stand around outside on a Wednesday for 2-3 hours waiting to scream "Come to Houston!"

    Apparently 3 people in a city of over 2 million.


    My biggest hope is that Anthony keeps it real with us today. I want to either have a very high chance of getting him or a clear indication we aren't in the running. This allows us to get a leg up on the Bulls for Love.

    If you count Parsons as a BIG.... then maybe Lowry. Probably closer to a big 4.. Lowry .7 Parsons .3

    Funny thing is i'd predict those 3 are clutchfans members. They should be delighted when they log in and see that they are now celebrities.

    Most likely a Big 4 and a Jordan Hill type at PF

    For the life of me, I have no idea how this would work, but more power to Morey if he can do it. Forget a statue outside....put him courtside crouching down with a basket in the backdrop.

    Holy chit if we get Lowry AND Melo, that's a freaking steal.

    Lowry/Pat
    Harden/Johnson
    Parsons/Vet Min
    Melo/ Tjones Or Dmo
    D12/ Vet min Maybe Jordan Hill ?

    Should have had some pretty female fans lined up to cheer him on. I blame Morey for this.

    Bima's tweets today - mind blown.

    For Morey to be able to manipulate the salary cap to make it work to sign Melo, keep parsons AND sign Lowry? I didn't think there was a way to do that. That's a game changer, folks!

    More than the posters, and the 5-star treatment, I'm hoping that the prospect of a Big 5 sells Melo on Houston.

    BIMA,

    Could you explain how a big 5 is possible? Thanks!

    Parsons and Lowry easily surpass whatever threshold they're using to refer to Wade as a part of the "Big 3"

    Go to his twitter page, he explained it there. Basically including Lin in a S&T with New York for Melo will create more free space, if i'm not mistaken.
