    Are you able to teach me how to search my own post history?

    One of my original posts was about Kevin McHale. I would like to read it again for nostalgia.

    Yeah they are faced with two bad choices and simply need to accept reality

    1) Trade him to the Rockets for a crappy return
    2) Keep him on the team and let him pout and be a PR disaster and throw a wrench into their rebuild

    There is no option 3. They can look as long as they want, but as long as Melo is determined to play for Houston, they are stuck between a rock and a hard place.

    The stalemate will drag on until Anthony starts publicly bad mouthing the team.

    Obviously this guy has a hard on for the Rockets front brass (pun intended)... some guys just can't get enough of the Mow-ry!

    I don't think he will accept one. Only 8 teams will be able to afford a max deal next year, and he cannot sign one with the team he joins because he will lose bird rights if bought out. The NBAPA really f'ed up the cap for all parties involved.

    Don't think I saw a single Carmelo tweet from the main reporters today. Must mean it's #imminent

    The Mexican standoff continues. Might take a while to play out as sides explore options.

    I think he would accept one. He was pushing for one before Phil got fired. Melo isn't getting a max on the open market, and he wouldn't be getting 1 from us either even if he was traded here and we retained his Bird Rights. He's worth nowhere near a max at this point of his career.

    I should rephrase, still not used to 40 mil maxes yet. He's def not going under 20, RA makes 20. He pushed before the players and agents realized the cap f'ed them hard. It would be very, VERY, unwise to take a BO. Unless he wants to joint GSW for 1 year then head off to a non contender.
