    Melo Agrees to Buyout and is Waived by Hawks

    In NYC and OKC, sure, but he sure was a "USA Basketball player" in the Olympics....

    Who’s our backup point guard?

    As a Florida grad, I would love to see Wilbekin make the league, but he just isn't quick enough defensively or off the bounce, and his height...

    [MDA] "The worst we're going to be is great."

    Dude is exactly right. This team may not win at the clip it did last year, but barring any changes beyond adding Melo, it won't take a step back....

    If CP3 ditches the Rockets, no big FA's sign, and Capela isn't matched...

    Joking aside, if someone told me coming into last season that we would have the best record in the league, sign Paul and Capella to long-term...

    Carmelo: "I'm not going to (come off the bench) in a situation where I still know my capabilities"

    Anthony is simply explaining his controversial quote from the end of the season. If anything, he is getting more reason to think he would be...

    [ClutchFans] Not much to dislike about the Rockets signing Carmelo Anthony

    They didn't. If Melo takes the minimum, it has zero impact. They let Luc go because he got more money from the Clips and would have eaten our...

    Feigen: Rockets confident they will sign Melo

    I tend to agree. You can't sign him with Bird rights after a single year, so if you want him back it would require the MLE next year anyway. And...

    James Ennis signs with Rockets

    They don't necessarily have to be upgrades. They also aren't the only moves we will make. Regardless, Ennis is probably as good as LMM was prior...

    Feigen: Rockets confident they will sign Melo

    If Melo weren't so close with Paul, I doubt he would be coming here. But the front office obviously believes Paul will keep him happy, and the...

    Ringer: What is going on with the Rockets this summer?

    Truth. Sometimes the greatest calculated risk is trusting your evaluation of a player's potential relative to his contract rather than simply...

    Not sure how you can even assign winners and losers at this stage. Is Golden State a "winner" if Cousins never steps on the court for them? Losing...

    Ringer: What is going on with the Rockets this summer?

    And that is maybe the most telling thing: for a GM who is unafraid to take risks and make deals, Morey has been notably inactive. That could mean...

    Morey: Calm the eff down

    This has always been his approach, and it usually works out well. Anderson is the exception, not the rule. The Suns and Clips just overpaid for...

    Celtics or GS 12th man is as good as our 6th man? We need 9-man rotation deep in the playoffs.

    Bench is...er, was fine. Teams always shorten rotations in the playoffs. Our problems were the injuries to Paul and LMM, the fact that Nene was a...

    [Melo Thread] Woj: OKC and Melo to part ways
