    Then the Rockets won't need any coach, or any other NBA level players, because no one else will ever touch the ball for the entire 48 minutes.

    No, we have enough offense...Harden + Howard & his free throws + Parsons is plenty
    Not sure how much Melo would help us in winning a championship....

    Not enough balls to go around. Who needs another player who is lazy on defense?

    If the NBA ever decides to let teams play with two basketballs at a time, Melo and Harden might mesh fairly well. As long as there is only one basketball, it would NEVER work!!!

    Huston dont need Melo.

    i cant c any good coming for any top/contender team for getting a poisonous chucker who hug the ball, never pass, dont do def, will put 60 points a game in 15/60 attempts while getting his ENTIRE TEAM out of the game.

    The problem with that is Melo would probably kick JLin out of his team again.:eek:

    Melo is an Allen Iverson.

    Absurdly talented, but not a good fit on a team like this.

    Rockets have enough high dollar players with questionable leadership and major flaws in their game.

    Recent article about melo staying or leaving NY, he says he will take less to be on a contender, so I'm open to bringing him in this summer if we can't trade. If he's down to take $16-7 mill. Then we have a deal!! All that would cost is asik + Lin contracts off our cap

    Chandler is the glue guy that will allow Harden and Howard to coexist successfully. If the team plans on building around them we can't rade Parsons unless its for Love or someone. With Melo we would have a terrible situation

    There is still an NBA cap of around $58,000,000, right?

    So you naively believe that simply putting Harden & melo together will make this team better?

    I think the key with Morey right now, would be to grab a Melo.

    Sign an extension before seasons end, and sign Parsons in the offseason to a 10 million a year deal via bird rights.

    Move Harden to PG

    Bev
    Harden
    Parsons
    Melo
    Howard.

    That would be better than the Heat.
