    Morey will always find a way, where there seems to be no way. He works in ways we cannot see, he will make a way for me.

    Depends on what we have to give up.

    This could be a good way to say goodbye to Lowry and Martin's contracts.

    I've always been a fan of making a move for Melo without an extension, understanding the guy is as good as gone in the offseason but after watching the team so far, I don't know anymore. Would he help, of course, and it wouldn't take half the team to get it done but it would take the Knicks draft swap next year and that could be GOLD. With Melo, are we good enough to beat the big boys and is Yao going to be 100% when he comes back from ANOTHER injury?

    Morey is upset because KMart didn't wear a Melo costume last haloween. So I guess he's leaving..

    He will be in a new city by the end of the season anyway. He'll pull a Lebron and give a half-ass effort if we make the playoffs cause he knows he isn't staying. We'll lose good players and possibly draft picks. No way I would do it if it Martin, Scola, or even Yao was in the deal.

    Sign me up. The team in it's current state isn't going anywhere regardless.

    I say go for it. At the least we get a giant expiring contract and free up cap space to be players in FA this summer or next summer.

    Morey's moves come out of nowhere. I highly doubt we will get Melo but someone out of the blue, like someone Rick Adelman has already coached.

    Sacrifice our future for 3 months of another wing player that can't defend, no thanks.

    Role players.

    I think the Rockets can easily find replacements for players like Brooks, Lowry, Lee, Bud, etc... They just haven't been able get that star level player.

    If he comes here I would get his jersey so I could burn it later once he leaves.

    Depending on what is given up, we could show Carmelo that we have a great supporting cast, genius gm, & owner is willing to spend.

    Oh and let alone how fans in Houston will welcome Carmelo Anthony, nothing but LOVE.


    Let's roll the Dice....
