    Not really. He just throws sh-- at the wall and sees what sticks.

    I agree. The NYK and HOU are at an impasse. Hou could send stuff over to complete the deal, but won't. So the whole Portland idea hangs on Melo opening his teams up. I do not think he does that. I think he stays a knick 1st. The point of coming to Hou is to play with CP3. When Cle was an option, it was to play with LeBron. Portland does not have any members of the boat. If we did not have CP3, Melo would not want to be a rocket.

    Training camp is Monday. Both sides probable putting stuff out there to try and sweeten the deal. Lot of noise.

    I still see no way that Houston gets the deal done. It would have already happened.

    Melo isn't accepting a trade to Portland after seeing our "Statement" jerseys. He was probably about to say yes but saw Harkless and was like "Fucccck that!" haha

    lol exactly. Rockets fans are delusional. Yeah I'm sure the Knicks were just holding out until September for Tim Quarterman.

    Btw the Knicks don't even have use for either Gordon or Ariza. Those two are AT BEST just pieces they would move to another team. Houston literally has nothing to offer the Knicks.

    Since we have our resident clutch fan here, we have nothing as terrible as their jerseys for the upcoming season. Not even close. We could wear special (and that word can mean many things) Meyers City jerseys and they would still be better than Houston's.

    I don't see it either. Unless there is a 3rd team or someone caves. I do not remember Morey ever caving. Which makes me think he will be a Knick for awhile more. Will make their Media day interesting.

    It's going to happen. I still don't think Melo is getting traded anytime soon. But if he does, it won't be to Houston.

    Your saying the Knicks would not want the 6MOY? Knicks would accept Gordon/Ariza and Ryan for Melo. Ariza is expiring, and Gordon is 6MOY making $8M per. Hell of a value.

    Won't happen, but they would accept it.

    I still wouldn't do that if I was New York. I'm pretty sure the new GM has a brain on him. This means that he knows the Knicks need to go all in on a rebuild. He knows it. Getting Anderson and Gordon isn't helping a rebuild.

    Quaterman was just a throw in on a NG contract to make the money nicer. They would cut him for cap space. If he is still with the rockets, he will be cut before his contract becomes fully guaranteed.

    No they wouldn't. They're rebuilding. Gordon's a 29 year old with an injury history, doesn't fit their timeline. And in NO trade scenario would they ever take Ryan Anderson. Literally makes zero sense. They would be stuck with it. They may as well just hold onto Melo and take the cap savings after he opts out.
