    “Melo to Houston; what’s the worst that could happen?!?”
    -Damian Lillard maybe

    Still one of the funniest moments in FA that I can remember. Then they ‘probably’ tried it next year with Durant and failed again. I still picture KD walking down the hall and a poor quality paper version of his face is taped over Melos. It was almost laughable how much the rockets swung out on almost every big FA they went for.

    Hard to say I’m surprised Westbrook went for it! The stack of paper could have been 10 deep and he’d still probably be like “yeah man, give me the ball and I’ll show James why we were winning in OKC”

    They’ve come a long way since not being able to attract people. Got some talented players in recent years, still can’t put together a cohesive squad though. Can’t wait to watch the Westbrook/Harden story. Don’t think Westbrook is down to play hard enough defense to make up for Harden AND defer shots/possessions to him as well. Classic story of thinking you can put any star players together to be good. There always has to be a balance and complimentary skills!

    Melo could've joined our culture two years ago and finished off his career in style but he would't drop his No Trade clause to play for us even though Neil, Dame, and CJ all wanted him. He fucked up. Now, we don't need him but I think he would've played well for us if he had chosen to.

    Who would help our team win more games next season playing 20 minutes a game off the bench? Tolliver or Melo? They roughly play the same style and position. You know my answer FAMS.

    Do we get to count the times Melo would cost us games? I don't want either to play 20MPG if you're asking.

    Same style? What games you been watching, FAMS?!! Tolliver is a vastly better 3-point shooter, and has never been a ball-stopper like Melo. I don't think Melo would work on this team

    Melo would not be happy with coming off the bench, causing many more problems than he would solve. Why do you think Houston, would got him for peanuts, didn't want him?

    I don't get the obsession with Melo. Or why Dame cares if he gets a "farewell" tour. The guy has the same amount of rings I do. I don't think Dame should get a farewell tour unless he wins some rings either. Denver / NY fans can love Melo if they want too, but his lasting impression on the NBA really doesn't deserve it. He's just a good scorer that never won, been a lot of much better players who never got a farewell tour.

    You sir are wrong in using "rings" as a way to judge. I could go on and on about players who DO have rings and who DOESN’T. The Mailman has as many rings as you do as well..... and Adams Morrison has more.

    Sure but Malone never got a farewell tour either. Its not about judging based off of rings. Its about that that type of recognition should be saved for greats of the great. Like Kobe, deserved it. LBJ will deserve it, Steph will deserve it. Duncan if he wanted too wouldve deserved it too.

    Yeah! That might just work? They might win the Championship if he was playing?

    He has more gold medals than you and he will be in the Hall of Fame. Not every great player wins a championship.
