    The Knicks must convince Melo that Houston will not happen.

    This could take time.

    Will the Rockets have enough cap space next summer to sign another star?

    Not if they re-sign Chris Paul.

    So this is their one chance to acquire a third star.

    Morey could probably move stuff around eventually. A few years ago they almost got Chris Bosh and people were saying the same thing.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Back then they had max cap space if they renounced Parsons, which they did. They didn't really move anything around in a meaningful way. They tried to game the Parsons thing, which blew up in their faces, but they didn't have to find buyers for bad contracts the way they'd have to do now.

    That's not to say it's impossible, but it'll be extremely hard.

    Maybe, but their roster is pretty weak as it is. Not sure how much they could sacrifice to clear space. Nobody is taking Anderson.

    Probably. But then again no one two years ago thought the Warriors could feasibly run a team with 4 max contracts. *shrug*

    This is just a regurgitation of what Woj said yesterday. Doesn't reference anything new. A By Ben Golliver special

    That's what I figured.

    Still, nobody has said that he wouldn't accept any trade to Portland ever. Just..... not right now.

    I saw woj on the jump when he talked about Carmelo. What I took away from it was Carmelo wasn't thinking about expanding his list of teams yet, because up until now, he was under the impression he was going to Houston. I didn't take it as "he doesn't want to go to Portland." Just that it hasn't been put on the table yet.
