    There's absolutely no chance Morey caves. TA is too important to the team and beyond that very close with both Chris and James.

    While you very well may be right, and I would agree with you at this moment, hypothetically as time went by and it got to the point where it would appear either Houston has to include Ariza or Melo expands his list and ends up in an OKC or Portland or Cleveland, you don't think Harden and CP3 would look the other way and let Morey do Morey?
    I don't think Morey would do it if it meant losing EG or Clint; but it's pretty evident Ariza is the most expendable and replaceable of those three with the addition of Tucker and Luc.

    I'm thinking (and hoping) Melo has decided to stay put in NY and maybe this trade can be revisited in December.

    I strongly believe that trade talks are completely dead between the two sides; anyone saying otherwise with 'inside information' I would think is BSing. As complicated as some trades can be, they wouldn't take this long. In fact enough time has passed where the two sides could have went over EVERY possible option involving the whole league.

    I strongly believe that you do not know what you are talking about. The only info you have is pure speculation.

    Haha. Yes we pretty much said the same thing. I clearly wrote "IIIII strongly believe...", "I THINK..." to make it clear that its my opinion which is obviously speculation seeing I don't claim to have any sources. And you said what I said was speculation. You just said it like a dick.

    You were probably saying this when we didn't have a joint CP3-Melo "Welcome to Houston" press conference.

    No I do believe Morey tried enough times, but I doubt either GM is still spending time on this. They have to move on and continue working on their team.
    I mean there is a video of two of their key players working out with Melo! Am I claiming that means he's definitely staying there? No, I don't know how much should be read into that. But I, and I can't emphasize the I part enough, would say that holds a little more weight that a Potato Head or a posters message.

    Maybe because you have said the same thing over and over. You also made sure to point out that you don't believe any insiders information and they are BSing. Maybe read what you write before mentioning that someone else is acting like a dick. Just a thought.

    But I do think insider info gets too amped up on here only when it seems like positive news for the Rockets, while any indications against the trade happening like a video or the thought that NY will not talk if the trade is centered around a Ryno contract is just mercilessly shut down.

    Also I do think you said it like a dick but no harm done, I was just pointing out that we were saying the same thing in different ways.

    Lastly, did you guys know there is a Super Troopers 2 coming out next year?

    I wouldn't be picking on Zoplicone unless you want a stern talking to about how he will not be picked on
