Not a fan, I think mbah a moute fits better.

I don't think he's the better player, but he fits what Houston needs from role players. Melo doesn't play D and if healthy offense isn't the problem. Color me shocked honestly...

Not real sure what Houston is doing but maybe it’ll work.

It'll work out. I'm sure Morey has some ideas, may even be a nice trade that gets cooked up soon. I just dont think hes having mind lapses with the currently constructed team. He knows what the window is.

melo has already spent time running coach D's offense. the mutual respect is there. also, this isnt melo's show this time. he will have to handle his business to contribute to james' success

I dont think this is necessarily the trade off and last I checked Luc still hasn't had surgery on that shoulder that he separated not just once but twice. If he hasn't had the surgery still then I'm not sure what his health will be like in all honesty.

The Rockets’ defense just became exponentially worse.

Who guards KD now? Gerald Green?

How about PG?

I'm scratching my head but I trust Morey.


One thing I'm afraid of is the possibility of Tilman pushing a Carmelo signing thinking it will sell more tickets based on brand.


There's also the factor of both Melo and CP representing the Jordan brand.


I'm still optimistic basketball reasons are at the heart of it though.

Nah. Might want to wait until the season. The Rockets roster still can be tweaked.

I’m pretty underwhelmed by Hardens GM’ing skills so far.

Lol, their roster is far from set. This is a terrible time to ask that question given its still just the beginning of free agency.

I am in the minority here Mbah Moute is trash anyway, so I'm happy

I'm still convinced his shoulder won't hold unless he gets surgery. So there's that.

So the Lakers could absolutely crush Houston if they wanted to:

Offer Capella a huge deal.

Trade for Melo.



Side note: Houston will be bottom barrel bad on defense now if they lose Ariza, LMaM, and Capella in the same damn offseason.

What ? The Lakers have no money to offer.


And trade for Melo? He's going to be a FA.

When does the season start? October still, right?
