    Definitely not. It's a minimum deal and Rockets needed wing defenders regardless.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Signing Mbah a Moute might be a step towards being able to put Ariza in a deal, I don't know. I assume the Knicks wouldn't want Ariza at his age, but maybe a third team would.

    The simplest answer, though, is that the move is unrelated. Mbah a Moute is a nice pickup on a minimum contract and they need depth.

    Mbah a Moute can play PF. Brings versatility to guard GS.

    Neil Olshey is going to be interviewed next in the Blazers summer league game. I'm sure he will clear this all right up and let us know he his plans here.

    Neil tell us about your interest in Carmelo Anthony.

    "Well, you know he's a great player but this is a process and I can't disclose the details of any deal at this moment."

    Good thing New York has hired its GM. Can you imagine if Olshey dealt Lillard, McCollum and Nurkic to New York for Anthony and then took their GM job?

    I could. They have more famous restaurants.

    Turner, Harkless, Vonleh, Leonard, and a 2018 1st for Melo, Lee, O'Quinn.

    We shed ET and Leonard, leaving our only bad contracts as AC and Lee, both of which will be tradeable next summer.

    Lillard (35) / McCollum (13)
    McCollum (22) / Lee (18) / Crabbe (8)
    Anthony (32) / Crabbe (16)
    Aminu (24) / Davis (20) / O'Quinn (4)
    Nurkic (33) / O'Quinn (15)

    Clutchfans is a cesspool.

    They're scared because Ryan Anderson is their biggest chip in their package.

    Basically, the moment that Melo says he'd accept a trade to PDX, he's coming. But thats still extremely improbable.

    Some random guy on Clutchfans is claiming to have connections to MJ and is saying MJ is trying to convince Melo to waive his NTC for Charlotte. Troll or not, Rockets fans are freaking out and it's hilarious.

    Do we have a chip bigger than Ryan Anderson? MyLe? Crabbe? Turner? I think they're all perceived as worse.

    Not when you consider his contract - $20m/per

    Harkless is MUCH more attractive to a rebuilding Knicks - a player who they have "targeted".
