    Rose is healthy now...in the off-season. What happens when he starts a full time NBA schedule again?

    I don't think one workout is enought to prove Rose is healthy and will stay healthy.

    It's pretty funny that they even try that snake oil routine. There's no such thing as a healthy Derrick Rose and everyone knows it.

    Oh i am fully aware of the hatred. They are irrational fans. I'm actually enjoying all the hate we're getting from em because that only means one thing.. We are relevant again.

    To add go what i posted earlier, adding another elite scorer would lessen the burden of other players on the offense. Thus, players like Harden would inevitably put in more effort on defense.

    Give me an elite talent such as Melo to add to this team any day of the week rather than searching for role players. You can't buy talent and there's only a few teams who are fortunate enough to have it.

    In today's NBA, you need at least 2 to 3 stars to be contenders. Perfect example of a team having a deep bench are the Clippers. Lose to a Thunder team with a big 3 (Durant/Westbrook/Ibaka) that had no bench depth. Besides, if you have 3 stars, most role players would all want to come to that team.

    Probably decided to steer away from the creative recruiting tactics after the way this turned out. :p

    Rose will never be fully healthy ever again and never be back to the way he used to be.

    It's obvious that we have the best product out there. Not being a homer. If we didn't have the best roster mixed with youth, health, star power, team cap flexibilty and assets, i will be the first one to admit it. Everyone knows this, even Melo. If for some reason he still chooses to sign elsewhere, so be it. There's only so much you can do. We've done our part and that alone i am at peace.

    So Lebrons starting to look at what teams he can play for again should the Rockets get back in there or stick with Melo or other players

    I don't think we should waste our time with Lebron he's definitely not coming here in my opinion.

    Well we'd be his best possible landing spot, but he'd have to hurry in order to catch the Rockets attention.

    Lebron will not accept anything less than max. Don't waste our time chasing for ghosts, let's chase something tangible.

    If they can ditch Lin, Asik, and a couple of others they can make that cap space, hell they're almost the whole way there by just ditching Lin and Asik.

    You don't think Miami would agree too a S&T if say Parsons or the Hornets pick was offered? That's a lot bigger of a return than the Cavs got from the Heat.

    Parsons or the Hornets pick, Lin, Jones, Asik TPE, Future Rockets picks, Prospects could be dealt for serious depth or for KLove

    Rockets are just in a seriously fantastic position with assets
