    I thought Melo wanted to go to the Cavs. Hmmmmm.

    Yeah these guys all want to be part of a super team, especially guys who are about the same age and know each other. But that does not mean it will always be a good fit. Unless Lebron is part of the equation. He compensates for a lot of missing parts.

    If a GM is making the call on who goes to Houston it has a chance, but if the players are making the call......not so much.

    Cowherd was saying Houston wanted Paul George as well as Cp3. Not sure what Houston has left to trade to Indiana.

    I thought La La said Melo's #1 priority was to be close to his son? :lol:

    Looks like Caleb has already been spending time with Aminu

    Doesn't surprise me. He didn't do shit for the Knicks, in fact I think they got worse actually as he went. Phil should have just stuck to coaching

    I just don't see how Melo would be a good fit with the Rockets. It'd be hilarious though. Pertaining to the potential HOU/IND trade, literally the only name I've seen that HOU would offer is Eric Gordon. No way would that trade come into fruition. HOU would need to give up more, but I'm not sure what though.

    Kings decline the qualifying offer on Ben McClemore? If he were on this team, Neil would have thrown $20 million at him.

    I know especially with D'Antonio as the coach. it didn't work out too well in NY with those two. However......the rumors continue about Melo to Houston per Ramona Shelburne. She is hosting a show right now in LA and keeps getting texts about it.
    I hope it happens.

    I wonder if Rodney Hood would be available if Hayward signs with Boston or whoever.

    Wouldn't that decrease the chance of Rodney leaving Utah...... if Hayward left. They would need him even more and his contract is very small.

    Unless they don't see him as a foundational piece and they decide to try and retool around Gobert. Or just do a complete rebuild.

    I suppose Griffin could do the same thing Paul just did. Say he is leaving and force a Sign & Trade for something like Turner and Meyers. He is a Clipper and Neil seems to like those.
