    This would still be Yao's team.

    You cannot pass up an opportunity to acquire a player like Melo IMO. You have to think Morey is salvating at the opportunity to acquire Melo. Even if he is a ball stopper or what you think, I think Adelman and his coaching staff could change that perception about Melo in all honesty..

    I am sorry you don't agree and are willing to chuck everything Morey has built to bring in a guy who would bail on the organization the first chance of trouble.....sort of like what he is doing in Denver.

    I am sorry that you don't like that some people have trouble with Melo as a person and consider him a low character guy based upon his actions, which were built upon again with the twitter incident.

    I really don't care though......

    You can love on Melo all you want.....I do not want him....

    If Morey brings him in...I will support him.....but this guy is Tmac part 2, another prima donna who scores, and gives people a taste of what "Might be"...but ultimately fails because he has low quality in character.

    Pass.

    Not every team has a freakin Drew Brees dude.

    And who are you to judge this guys character when you dont even know jack s*** about him, personally, other than what you read.

    Who am I? I am the ticket buying public, that is judging him based upon his actions and what I read.

    The same ticket buying public that can afford the lower bowl tickets, that the Rockets are marketing too.

    I am sure some folks are more forgiving than others.....I would not be one of those folks.

    I don't want Melo....and will be dancing on this thread's grave when he doesn't come here.

    What the hell man, your drastically overreacting. So he made some mistakes, who hasn't? Iverson was considered a thug that couldn't lead a team. He led his team to the Finals. You can't judge him cause you think he's a little crazy man, calm down. He looks like a nice funny chill man.

    I didn't wan Iverson either.....just because a guy can put the ball in the basket doesn't mean I want him on my team.

    And Melo's efficiency is not even that great.....

    Anyway.....I am not overeacting, I don't like Melo, he is a low character guy, who is overated....IMO.

    I think you need to realise he cannot be T-MAC 2.0 because he has already passed the first round, and made it to the western conference finals.

    On his attitude and the like, I think its hard for the fans to really know what someone is like. Just because he wants out of Denver doesn't mean he is quitting on the team. One thing I have learnt over my years on this earth is that we all judge people based on what we see, not on everything that is going on in the background.

    I remember listening to teaching audio and this guy was on a train and there was this parent with 3 kids. The 3 kids were going berserk on the train. The guy giving the talk asked the parent to control his kids. The parent responded "well....I dont know.....They are going through all kinds of things right now. You see, this morning, they were told that their mother had just died and.....well I just don't know what to do."
    The teacher was really embarrassed because he had no idea of his circumstances.

    I think we also need to give a bit of grace when it comes to public figures, because we really don't know what is really going on. How do we know why Carmelo wants to move on.

    And I also think that his twitter account was hacked, because the crap that was put up there was all at once, which is not normally done by him.

    Anyway. I would welcome him into the Rockets and believe that Morey and Adelman will do what is right.

    You guys can enable that type of behavior all you want, I hope he is not ever on the Rockets.

    I agree, I don't want him either...just another overpriced thug.

    We have a good team that works hard and don't need someone to come in and screw it up. i'd rather watch our bunch play hard and lose than to add this thug and screw it all up plus lose what ever respect the Rockets have.

    TMac was much better that this clown and that ain't saying much. :rolleyes:

    Everything Morey has built has been with the intention of trading multiple assets for a superstar. That's been his plan all along.

    Do you think the Rockets would give a rats ass if you, DD, the man with the highest post count on clutchfans.net, doesnt buy lower bowl season tickets because Carmelo Anthony is a low character guy?

    If Melo came to Houston, season ticket sales would sky rocket.

    You are like the 1% crowd that would care if the Rockets had "character guys." And you are acting like Melo raped or murdered someone.

    No, you missed the point, I am representative of the corporate sponsers that buy those tickets.

    I believe there are some folks that would not want Melo here.......just like me.

    You may be right, there may be more folks that DO want him here.

    I am just not one of them.

    Von Wafer is a knuckle head, but there was no question he helped the team. Melo hasn't been sent back to the locker room yet. Melo is also vastly more talented than Wafer, has had a much stable career than Wafer and in the end will give the Rockets a much much bigger boost than Wafer. That boost should be enough to take us to the finals.

    Here is how I feel about Max, and low character talented guys like him.

    I think in order to have a player like that be a contributor, you need to have a very strong leadership on the team, someone that holds others accountable.

    With Max, we had Dream, and at the end of the day, he quit on the team, why? Because he is a low character guy.

    This current Rocket team does not have that leader, it has a bunch of leadership guys, but no true hierarchy....

    You bring in Melo, and the balance is destroyed, it will take a couple more trades to get the roster right, and with Melo as your best player and a low character guy, I think eventually he will fall short...

    You have to be strong in body, and mind to win it all as a leader of a team.....

    Just how I feel....

    He talks about "character issues," but loves Stephen Jackson. Come to your own conclusions.
