    EG balled out this game, but this let's us get rid of Ryan's contract one year earlier. You think OKC will take on more salary? You think Rocket's willing to part with EG?

    Sorry, already in off season mode. I really liked EG and think Ryan is a decent player in the regular season (just doesn't fit well with matchups in the post season).

    This is likely the cheapest salary dump without giving up potential future (young) assets.

    The Rockets will have some hard decision to make with Capela and CP3. This makes it easier financially.

    So we are giving our Ryan and Gordon to OKC and just getting back their Ryan Anderson??? No thanks. I’ll keep the back to back 6th man.

    Gordon >>> Melo > Anderson so, no.

    Presti would jump on this deal, fortunately Morey is smarter than him.

    Agreed, that's how you get rid of an extra year of $20MM from Ryan..... we're trading talent to dump salary.

    u know what, just delete your account...how u got your fingers to actually type this foolishness is beyond me

    keep Melo far away from here...Gordon is 1 of the pieces we’d have to send away in a S&T for a star, and you want to give him away just to dump Ryno and add Melo...

    Question, of the following scenarios which one do prefer (or come up with another likely one that another team will take):
    • No Trevor, maybe not one of CP3/Capela next season
    • Give up 2 first rounds in the next 3 years (including 2021 which may be higher pick if we're in decline) to trade Ryan away
    • My scenario

    The best scenario for the fans is of course we sign and pay everyone and pay 2 years of huge tax. That's up to Tillman but I don't see it as likely.
