    Agree.


    Like I said this year will show everyone if Russell did deserve the mvp everyone ( the media) said he had no help. Let’s see how he does with more scorers. Let’s see if the ball still sticks to his hands on the fourth even w Melo and George.

    Also idk if Melo and Russ will get along. It’s one thing to play for fun than in the NBA.


    We will see next year.
    Hopefully we are the champs by then :):D

    Yup as bad as Kanter was in defense, he would give them inside scoring too. Now their bench is worse as well. Adams is ok but not as effective in offense as Kanter.

    Maybe. But like u said we will see. I think they will have a harder time playing together than we will. But by playoff time they might have adjust. Still I think we would win but we won’t know until the season starts. Can’t wait


    Btw I’m happy we didn’t trade ego , Ariza or capela for Melo.

    Melo would be stuck there because he is 100% opting in. $27 million?
    Not a chance in hell will he get that kind of money on the open market.

    Andre and Steven might get to touch the ball every other game

    Adams, Melo, Roberson, pg13, Westbrook= yikes for the rockets honestly. I feel we will beat them but that lineup is cary

    Since okc will be trash for years to come they get one year of awesomeness before 5 years of irrelevance.

    THANK YOU PRESTI!!! Thanks for trading for the overrated player in recent history and keeping him away from my Rockets!! Thanks for destroying OKC's future!!! PG13, Melo, and Russ won't re-sign no matter what you do but kudos for trying.

    i would bet that pg13 plays less than 50 games this year and melo less than 35. plus russ don't share the ball like harden and cp3. honestly i think they gonna be really below average this year before the historic irrelevance era begins.

    This is a great chance of being true. At first i was worried until i looked at the full roster and depth. I'm not concerned at all honestly. Chemistry will be terrible in okc.

    NTC question, does he carry this to OKC or can OKC trade him to any team if they decide to trade by trade deadline?

    Yeah, as long as he's under that contract he'll have the no trade clause.

    I just found out 2 minutes ago, and I'm already over it. I was fine with Melo falling in our laps, but wasn't really keen on going out of our way for him.

    just to add to Crashlanded19: NTC remains. But the Trade kicker bonus is only paid once.

    Agree, I don't mind getting him, except it still sucks bad that he went to OKC. I can't get over that.

    I wouldn't up the bid for him to keep him away from OKC, but I still wish he stayed in the East, or even went to Portland, despite our miserable troll that draws so much attention from the middle school clique posters here.

    this is the worst possible news, just the cherry on top of a horrible turn of events for this franchise. basically we are stuck with anderson for the bulk of his contract b/c nobody is every taking it on.
