    But he loves living in NYC. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think he'd push for a trade unless it was to Houston or Cleveland.

    Nothing because it is, especially since it's from Woj.

    Love seeing Olshey turn the “leverage” dial up. They have the least to lose and should be paid a premium for involvement.

    I love that line one of you came up with; "were paying for carmelo, without getting carmelo."

    So true. Fuck the Rockets.

    It's cool we're paying 34m for two bench players. Much better :)

    Your sources saying anything about this?

    Neil probably was sitting there thinking about it and realized.... why the fuck are we paying to send Melo to Houston?

    I feel like Melo has never been able to effectively defend the 3 spot.
    So I feel like he's always been a 4.
    It also helps him offensively, because the closer Melo gets to the hoop the more effective he is.

    Houston fans are even more obnoxious on twitter.

    I've always disliked Melo's game but we'd be giving up 3 below average players and getting the best player in the deal for 2 years. What do we really have to lose not going to win championship with those three guys but just maybe if Melo works out and GS has one major injury we give ourselves a chance. Another thing is we're more likely to get players to want to play with our group.

    Paul
    Harden
    Ariza
    Anthony
    Capela

    Vs

    Dame
    CJ
    Aminu

    Nurkic

    Bench: Turner, Crabbe, Davis, Swanigan, Vonleh, Collins

    Fuck the Rockets. Carmelo has the same, maybe even a better chance to win in Portland. But but superstars.

    I'm not sure how that's even possible. Houston fans becoming even more obnoxious certainly defies at least a couple laws of physics.

    If we ever become like Spurs or Rockets fans, I will turn in my '77 championship banner and start following Dressage competitions. And in NO WAY am I joking.
