Woj - Rockets trying to complete deal for Melo

Meh, good luck, they're rare these days.

 

So what's the hold up?

 

I tell you why I am confident.

1 there is noway the Cavs are dumping Love a younger, better player for Melo.

2 the Knicks are not taking the likes of Shumpert and Jr Smith in return so that rules out the Cavs

3 If the Cavs are out that only leaves us and Morey is the one now in to the the box seat who can dictate the terms to the Knicks ONLY IF HE HAS A 3RD TEAM involved. Hence there is very little chance we will over sell for Melo

 

Melo aint shave since April

 

How often do you check in with your sources?

 

Looks like he's ready to drop 40

 

Ghetto gerber baby. Best melo tater flavored baby food 'round. Only available in NYC, where owners are owners and gm's and Charles Oakley don't care.

 

I personally haven't been a fan of his over the course of his career, but with the league going toward jump shooting, I have to give it to him. He's a devastating shooter with the size and strength to create his own shot. It's an exciting time to be a Rockets fan if we get him. One of the best offseasons in ages.

 

So I heard the Rockets are trying to complete a deal for Melo. Anyone else hear that?

 

Things Melo's been working on his videos

1. Catch and shoot
2. Catch and attack
3. Dump offs on the baseline
4. More dunking at the rim(will help with finishing)
5. Running the floor more
6. Ball handling(imagine having a ball handler at the 4 spot, 4/5 pick n roll is deadly)
7. Overall conditioning
8. Refining his post game

I think Melo still has maybe 3 years of great basketball left in him(33, 34 and 35)

 

Are you Carmelo!

 

Sounds like the rockets told him what to work on being a stretch4 in Houston. That's practically exactly what we are looking for.

 

I must say he looked really good in his videos.

 

I posted this in another thread but got no responses and I'm curious as to what others think:

In addition to Anderson + NGs being sent out, how would you feel for each of the following scenarios?

1. No picks

2. One 2nd round pick

3. One 1st round pick

4. One 1st round pick & One 2nd round pick

5. One 1st round pick & Two 2nd round picks

6. One rotation player (unlikely I know)

 

For a second I thought that was Lavar Ball.

 

Maybe.

 

Waiting for Melo news is annoying. But then again, life could be worse as an NBA fan.

Some dude was on ESPN SC saying while the deal is not close to being done right now but Melo is confident he will be traded to Houston. Kudos to Potato head
