    Anybody going to sign Melo, Dwight Howard, Cousins, or Wes Matthews, or are they done?

    Wes just played vs PHI the other night. Hard to tell with the others if no major injuries have occurred yet.

    Matthews retired a long time ago.
    Dwight Howard and Anthony are pretty old.
    I have no idea about Cousins except I don't like him.

    If Dwight Howard doesn’t mind ring chasing we might be able to make room.

    For sure.

    I was going to make a reference to how difficult it is to play with no heart, but I also didn’t want that to be mistaken as a knock against his very real heart condition.

    He had a very solid career. Should’ve stayed in PDX though. I think he’d have been held in higher esteem.

    I believe so also. The Blazers also would have been a much better team.

    Guys like Dwight and Cousins are bookends now. I guess they may be able to spell someone for a few minutes but just not mobile enough to play by today's standards.

    Melo could provide some help in spurts. But no more than twelve minutes per game.

    bump! Melo signed with the Taiwanese team based in Tainan which thrills me as now D Howard and Melo have signed there...and they'll get bank. Taiwanese are thrilled...expect more players to follow suit like the Elleby's of the world....I'll get to see both of them play when I visit in February! Now I'll buy a Melo jersey too! Tainan is the historical district in southern Taiwan with old architecture. That's where they shoot many epic Chinese historically based movies. The Phillipines used to be the place that drew NBA talent in Asia or Australia but for Taiwan, this is a good sign of things to come!
