    I don't believe there are any NCAA champions on the Rockets. Melo brings that intangible if Morey can complete a deal for him.

    Ideal replacement for Corey Brewer, who was also a NCAA champion

    And if Morey can get Melo he brings a championship winning player to the roster. Can't be understated how valuable that would be. People want to talk about Team USA Melo, but he was winning championships way before Team USA came calling and in a much more difficult tournament.

    College was more than a decade ago. In that case over half the players won state titles in high school

    A man among boys that year. If I recall they defeated a very tough Kansas team for all the marbles.

    So Morey has traded or let go of 3 NCAA champions in the last two years?! All the more important to replace those lost intangibles by getting Melo.

    ya, as a texas fan i was mad that we couldn't score on the 2-3 which didn't allow TJ to attack the paint... IIRC melo and warrick had solid games

    I came in 2nd my 6th grade year and I've never fully recovered. The devastation was so great that my life was consumed by alcohol.
    Then I heard we were getting melo and quit cold turkey!
