    the relationship between Harden and Dwight and Harden and CP3 is night and day...they look like they have genuine love for each other

    I think that Harden appreciates that he finally has another star out on the perimeter who can get his own and create for others as good as anybody, and I think that CP3 appreciates that he has a player on Harden's level next to him so he won't feel that he has to control every possession...he can just kick back and let Harden do his thing

    and once we get Melo...

    Per potato head:

    Knicks have now fully backtracked on promise to trade melo to rockets. He still has Houston as his only team though.

    Saw the first line of ch44 post and got excited because I thought the second sentence was going to be "because the deal is now on the 1 yard line" :eek:

    Dolan needs to do the right thing and give us Melo as hurricane reparations.

    They are trying to get Tilman to force Murray's hand?

    so in this pick up game- Melo decided to be on chris Paul's and Harden's Team?
    I hope CP3 and Harden told him to keep pushing for the trade

    I just trust ch44, and there's no guarantee Melo doesn't expand his list of teams the closer we get to the regular season. Just having Cleveland pushing for a deal isn't a great development. That's all I'm saying.
    Do I think Cleveland is as attractive as Houston? No.

    same here i think CH44 is legit.. therefore im pretty sure they will be sending some offers the Knicks way.
    If the Knicks like the offer they will tell melo at the moment we can trade you to CLE.
    hope that is not the case and hope the rockets are now at the 1 yard line with Watson as the QB and not Savage

    For those interested, we get to see classic PnR ICE defense on the third play where hoodie Melo is bringing the ball up. Watch Melo's defender jump out to avoid the pick to steer Melo to the big man defender who drops back...known as the Blue defender, who leaves the picker to zone the dribbler.

    When they use this in pick-up games, you know it has become a very standard PnR defense, yet fans and media rarely mention it, still discussing going over the pick or under or doubling-traps as the only choices to debate.

    ICE is the new Black, when it comes to PnR defense in the NBA.

    I think Morey will gain significant traction toward a deal soon

    ch44 is probably right.. hoping it's a last ditch effort by the Knicks since camp is finally coming upon us.

    If Melo stays firm, we should be okay.
