    That would probably mean the Rockets are left without anyone.

    My thoughts exactly.

    Carmelo's meetings ended on Thursday, and people close to him said it would be wrapped up by the end of the weekend at the latest. Yet we're still going with no apparent resolution in sight. Definitely feels like he's stalling to see what happens with LeBron and if there's a way for them to play together.

    The good news is that if Riley/LeBron even kick the tires on this idea (the Stephen A scenario), it's a pretty clear signal to Bosh that he isn't wanted and thus would be another force driving him to Houston.

    If Melo stays in NY will the Knicks have cap space in 2015 to sign superstars?

    Yes - their plan is to have cap space to offer a maximum contract in 2015.

    The thing that bothers me the most about moneymelo is the BS he was feeding about winning being number 1. Id have more respect for him if he just came out and said I eant the money

    All these carps are nothing but smoke screens, they are working together to buy more time for Riley trying to sign some cheap helps.

    Stop living in a fantasy world.

    Bosh to Houston
    Wade to Chicago
    LeBron to Cleveland.

    Miami's fanbase just shrank in size reading this possibility.

    There is ZERO chance Wade will leave the Heat.

    If Lebron and Bosh will both go to other teams, Riley will just going into full rebuilding mode and they will suck for years, hence he will just give a "Kobe" contract to Wade and let him retire there.

    You do not treat your franchise player like dirt especially after he opted out a 2 years 41 mil contract.

    I've seen stranger things than Wade going home to finish his career.

    NSFW.

    Pretty sure Phil told Melo that 2015 he will be able to sign superstars with the cap space next year.

    This is a different situation than Dream.

    Dream wanted to go to the Raptors because he believe he can still help and win another ring. The Rockets did not initiate the trade. Dream asked for it.

    Wade knew he was almost done, and he also knew the Heat will compensate him for the sacrifies he did the last few seasons and will give him a good retirement package.

    It's very unlikely that Riley doesn't take care of Wade for life, but once again, stranger things have happened.

    How do you know that? Wade might prefer to compete for another ring than finish out his years on a rebuilding Miami team. If LeBron leaves for Cleveland and Bosh comes to Houston I think going home to Chicago to compete for rings and finish out his career makes a lot of sense.
