    Kellerman was right about a lot of things last season and is fair and balanced.

    No surprise here. Melo just makes weak defensively and even more so if played together with Harden. Not even sure how anyone can argue against that.

    This could be more important than minutes logged. As the Thunder upped their pace to fight Westbrook's style there was a sharp decrease in Melo's effectiveness.

    "Carmelo Anthony has verbally agreed to sign with the Houston Rockets"

    That's funny, so did I! Just now, in fact! Anyone else? Just say "I agree to sign with the Houston Rockets", and viola! You have just verbally agreed to do it!

    I'm really not a fan of adding Carmelo...at all.

    But the more I hear everybody nationally talking s**t, the better I feel about it.

    Technically you can’t accept without an offer ;)

    After the Shams report that Carmelo has given his verbal commitment, Morey posted this IG.

    Apparently the translation is: "Triumph over the campaign of a thousand miles lies with zealous strategey and earnest planning."

    .......or perhaps, "#NewMath: :p

    I love GG. I hope he retires a rocket after a few more season where he outplays his minimum contract.

    Corny AF.

    Care to share details of the verbal offer you received from the Rockets ?????
    That's right- you didn't get one.

    Words can't describe how much I love Gerald Green. He's the embodiment of all of us who aspired to be hoopers, when we were in our driveway, pretending to be hitting game-winning shots for the Rockets.

    John Lopez of 610am, was just mentioning how he was visiting with the D’Antonis in West Virginia and was there when Coach got the call from Melo.. He claims DAntoni was “all smiles”. But what I take from this is the fact that he, and maybe the Rockets, were still actually awaiting this call?? Could there maybe have been a little to the Melo still mulling it over reports? This tends to make me think there was.
