    A question I have for those of you who said last night that the teams were just waiting to take advantage of the media on Monday ... Why hasn't anything been done yet ?

    I still think we are trying to find a 3rd ( or maybe 4th team )

    I don't think this is as done of a deal as people are making it out to be

    I hope I eat crow in an hour or so .

    Come on guys, it has nothing to do with waiting for the right media day.

    I think Rockets are trying to find best way to match salary. It seems like Knicks and Rockets have agreed to a deal, but Rockets need to work on their cap magic to make contract work for CBA. In other words, Rockets are probably quibbling over 2nd round draft pick protections with some non-Knick team, but already know they can make a deal if nothing better turns up.

    This whole, waiting on Melo to be traded to the Rockets, has been mentally exhausting. I just want this to happen and be over with already lol

    (Regarding Melo being confident he will be traded to the Rockets. Question was what Knicks had told to the Rockets)

    For real though. Why does @ItsMyFault care? Hes a chicago sports fan, not a houston sports fan.

    Unless hes just frontrunning and bandwagoning between cities lol.

    I wonder if WOJ has restrictions on his twitter usage as part of his ESPN deal. Like do they want to view things first to consider having ESPN put it out before it goes on twitter?

    I keep checking this site from Costa Rica, just waiting for this to happen. Come on Rockets, let's do this already so I can celebrate with some Costa Rican cerveza while watching the sun set over the ocean tonight.
