    raped? That gives a whole new meaning to the whole "turn the other cheek" idea...

    Wayyy to quick, but whatever. He seems set on Chicago for some reason.

    Given the amount of time, he either isn't interested, or he said he will come here and that was that.

    You missed the rest of the tweet: "If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them"

    If the meeting is over, i would think with the time spent, it didn't go well. Pure speculation on my part, but after nine hours with Chicago, maybe Melo has made his decision to go to the Bulls.

    I understand Les leaving the meeting, he doesn't negotiate but Tad Brown leaving too can't be a good sign. Feels like they know its not gonna happen and moving on to someone else. Or going to the next meeting site

    Doubt Melo is the one that ended the meeting. The Rockets probably planned on a short meeting.

    Maybe, but he does need to get to Dallas at some point.

    Wow. Didn't know he spent 9 hours with Chicago. Not a good sign that he is splitting time between us and Dallas. Almost makes it seem like we are Plan C or D for him.

    This just doesn't feel like it's going to happen to me. Let's see if we can nab Lowry and make a run at Kevin Love. Hopefully Morey has a good feel after this meeting and won't ruin his chance at others waiting for 'Melo.

    It's a presentation....2 hours is plenty of time for a presentation. It's not as if the man has never been in Houston before. And he is left with takeaways to consider.

    Cause he's a moron. How long does he really think Rose will play this year? Rose has D Wade knees, not a smart decision

    Why don't you wait for him to actually make his decision before questioning his intelligence?

    True, but the reports of 9 hours in Chicago are a bit worrisome
