If OKC can put together an appealing package for him and he wants to go there, more power to them. I just can't talk myself into losing rotation players outside of Ryno for 33 y/o Melo.
Travis Singleton @SneakerReporter Here's the conversation I had with @carmeloanthony about @russwest44 last season. He said that Westbrook is like family to him 9:37 AM - 24 Jul 2017
So if we made it to the WCF without Melo which is certainly possible then he's still guaranteed to leave?
This is so ridiculous. Chris Paul came to Houston because of James Harden, not a 33-year-old Carmelo Anthony (who was never here in the first place). On paper right now, without Melo, it's already the second-best roster in the league. Houston can also give Paul a 5th year next summer, which no other team can do. Beyond that, the only reason Paul is a Rocket is because he specifically informed the Clippers that he was signing with Houston in free agency (which would've almost certainly been a four-year deal). Since Golden State isn't an option, the Rockets will be offering Paul a better roster and substantially more money than any other potential suitor next summer. Get a grip.
2 questions Why do some of you refer to him as 33 year old Carmelo Anthony? AND Why do you have to preface comments with "I've never been a Carmelo Anthony fan?"

It means they are sniffing each others butt & pepe trying to see if it is worth getting along with each other!
bleacherreport.com/articles/2723469 This has been circling around Melo to OKC Although I don't see why Melo would want to go there while it's a great big 3, Rockets offer a big 3 and very solid role players to go along with it.
Melo is picky and stubborn. It's late July and Bill Simmons (when does he break anything?) is throwing a dart here. As previously mentioned, Houston will have its super team.
Because he's on the trade market, his age is relevant to his trade value. CP3 and Lebron as far as we know are not on the trade market.
James Harden's Beard @HardenBeard Fine, NBA Trade Twitter. You’ve pushed OKC to up their offer. They’ll do it. They’ll give up Kanter for Kyrie straight up. You savages. 10:04 AM - 24 Jul 2017
