    No clue what any of that means or Is about.

    I was just hoping you’d keep posting outlandish ways the rockets could get Aaron Gordon and still have a team that completely fly in the face of actual cap rules

    Sure. I think the Batum trade for Anderson is only worth considering if the LeBron, Paul George pipe dreams fizzle and the team feels like they need to rid themselves of Anderson without having to give up other assets.

    I don’t know how you see that contract and not want to vomit - on a guy who’s getting worse every year

    You are absolutely right about this. Morey would not touch that contract with a ten foot pole.

    He honestly just isn’t that good of a player anymore and was a borderline star when he was.

    Morey has been interested in O'Quinn before. Will he be expensive? Really like his energy and tenacity.

    Few games I seen him he shot the three ball well. I haven’t checked his stats so they might have been aberration games.

    Even if Melo gets bought out and is willing to sign for the minimum I question bringing him in. He still thinks he is a good player in this league and he's not even close. Only way I let him on this team is if he is willing to sit the bench and become primarily a 3pt specialist. End of story.

    Melo is Dwight Howard of the SF world. The guy has a huge ego and usually hurts team chemistry. Not sure even his buddy Paul can tame him

    Decent tax payer MLE target. That being said, I don't know how wise it is to spend any money on a big man if we are keeping Capela. Outside of Capela's minutes, we are going to go small at the 5 anyways, probably would be better off investing in a guard or wing.

    What the literal f&%? LMAO Dude People want LeBron. Everyone knows its tough. People have told you repeatedly that if we cant get a star they are fine with the team the way it is if we bring the current roster back. The backlash you are getting is because you know nothing about how to operate a cap or how any of it works. You keep posting the most idiotic impossible **** embarrasing yourself. Thats what people are jumping on you for. Quit being an effin victim.

    The issue with
    O'Quinn is that he never rolls to the basket on pick and rolls, which is a cornerstone of centers in this offense with Harden and Paul.

    Worth the MLE. I hope Tyreke will be the first target with the MLE, second choice Mike Scott, Kyle 3rd choice.

    I think CP3 can keep Melo in check as a starting PF. Most nights Melo would have an advantage at that position. You have to know how to use a guy like that and put him in a position to be successful.
