    Why do you talk like there's not another party who has to be interested for Morey to go to work?

    Real life doesn't have a trade overide option.

    I shouldn't post this, because it's just downright mean, but :

    Not sure exactly how this works but wouldn’t it be cheaper to take on his existing contract since almost half of it is already paid for?

    Those people were right.

    Melo has been bad for years and has failed to understand his current level of abilities.

    He was always going to fail.

    Melo still has talent, but he doesnt want to work and still thinks he can get by on his talent like he always has.

    Can you back out of the trade since league office wouldn’t process it? Might as well hold him until deadline now.

    I guess it is time to sign Rob Gray for the rest of the season would be a decent pickup

    OKC traded a starter.

    Rockets traded a player who was so far off the bench he may as well been in exile.

    Really hope he finds his way to Denver to finish put his career. Great player man and had one of the most beautiful games the league has ever seen. I'd like to see him finish the right way.

    We actually saved money here at the end of the day, even though we threw in extra cash as an incentive. That’s why it was beneficial for both sides. Don’t old people love saving money!?!? ;)

    Yup. I can name two main culprits that were fully on the melon bandwagon and even dogged Ariza and Luc. Then acted like they never wanted him after melon was being a b****. Im sure you could name a few more.

    We need a roster spot. We just needed to cut the cancer out. Let’s move on.
