    An under-utilized CP3 is still much better than Beverly and offense. And in my opinion, CP3 is a far superior defender.

    Doesn't D'Antoni like constant ball movement? Melo is the opposite of that. Maybe his new team will change that?

    I agree with you on Lou Williams.

    He coached him to a gold medal...worked out pretty well along with Pop...CP3 and Melo together with Harden are going to be good in my view...Knicks didn't have those two with Melo when D'Antoni was there

    CP3 and Harden are both excellent passers....Melo benefits from this big time

    So why did they hate each other so much in NY? Or am I remembering it wrong?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Stephen A. Smith is saying that if Anthony receives a buyout, he wants to go to Houston. But Wojnarowski is reporting that New York doesn't currently plan to buy Anthony out.

    A team of CP3, Melo, and Harden doesn't impress me

    I wouldn't. Although I wold rather trade Turner instead of Crabbe. And Meyers instead of Collins, plus a pick.

    But....yeah, if the trade was Crabbe + Collins for Griffin, that would not break my heart.

    I would be pretty hyped on Dame and CJ, what Nurk will become. What would happen if we added more talented pieces where as you already know what you get with Harden then add melo who is a volume shooter, CP3 who can still play at a high level but how would any of them fit together especially if melo goes to houston. Doesn't make sense and 2nd round exit at best especially with all the young talent they gave up

    Houston gave up all this for CP3. I think this is the kind of move I wouldn't want to see my team make, you're just throwing all your chips in for the short term

    Their depth is hurt but now the vet free agents will flock to Houston because it's Houston... and it's tax friendly.

    They are all worthless. Beverley has value and Williams has some value, the rest is hardly worth anything.

    I have my doubts that Hardon will be able to function without the ball in his hands 24/7...
