    Ah, shoot. History will call it "after 10 games." I was really hoping we'd call it after 11 games (which is when the news broke) because that would mean:
    • In Nov 2015, Rockets were 4-7 when they fired McHale
    • In Nov 2018, Rockets were 4-7 when they decided to cut Melo

    He is trying to find a team that will let him jack up a lot of shots to he can get his points.

    Winning was never a priority for him in his career.

    So I’m guessing the Rockets are waiting until there is a team that says they will claim him once waived? Or they are waiting for a team to have an open roster spot? Otherwise I don’t see the reason for not waiving him immediately.

    Supposedly they both carry grudges against Melo from previous times.

    the original photo is Melo being served wine by a waiter. and I think he tweeted it as an obnoxious response to something, I don't remember what. someone else will surely remember

    Only way we get a 2nd rounder back is if Morey can pitch Melo to the market as a Tank Commander, to help a team tank for Zion.

    Then have the worst teams compete for his services.

    ESPN could air the decision as a show: The Incision.

    We all hoped for better. I’m not surprised this is the result but I’m still disappointed

    If we trade him will probably be one of those highly protected 2nd rd picks that is designed to never payoff

    Riley is now seeking for cap release. Heat would take the trade like this,

    Waiters and Kelly O for Knight and Melo.

    Tilman would say "no thanks".

    The original photo was of Melo after he exercised his $28m Player Option with OKC, saying something about everyone can Duck Sick

    ....like a Charlie Sheen, "W i n n i n g," post

    QUESTION: Are the Rockets releasing him . . . .or did he want to leave and requested to be let go.
