That's an understatement. If you consider Melo your solution as a 3 and D wing, you might want to also pick up Nate Robinson to protect the rim.



Of course melo isn't going to play SF. PJ Tucker would play SF if the Rockets don't get anyone of Luc's skillset. The Rockets probably have several guys on their radar though. Just need to sit tight. The roster is far from finished. I dont know how many times I have to say that.

They can easily. Don’t forget this is the team ready to offer max deals to LBJ and PG.


No they cant. They used all their cap already.


They could offer Capela $6 million but the QO is only $4.3 million anyways.


Rockets would easily match anything LA would offer without breaking a sweat.

Tucker already played a lot of minutes last year.

As is, obviously, we're looking at melo taking Ariza's minutes (3rd most on the team remember) and Tucker getting more time from luc's.

Honestly, I have always looked poorly on melo. Even when he played for okc, he's just not the kind of player you want for a niche role because the bad habits come out way too often.

I don't think losing Ariza hurts too much if it's Tucker and luc taking on larger roles. Losing both though, questionable if it's melo taking over the roles.

Morey gets the benefit and he should, but damn it looks freaking bad right at this moment.

Were not. That's not an option.

There's no discussion to be had about this if that's what you start with.



Rockets are going to sign a wing, I guarantee it.

Spoiler, that's not a three year contract; it's a three picture movie deal.

Thats Rob Pelinka. Most don’t know or remember but he was the token white dude on the Michigan fab five teams. Went on to become a super agent with Kobe and Harden as some of his clients

Lmao signing with the winningest North American pro franchise of the past 40 years means Lebron isn’t about titles?

From Feigen:


quote:

The Rockets have shown interest in James Ennis, who has played for four teams in four seasons, most recently the Pistons; Treveon Graham, a free agent who played sparingly for the Charlotte Hornets last season, and James Nunnally, an outstanding shooter with defensive ability that played in Turkey.

No.

Not right now, they aren't title contenders.


Most analysts have even said there was a huge lifestyle component to the decision.

Houston fans freaking out about this.

Morey got LRMM for $2M & HOU got to G7 of WCF with him being unplayable in playoffs. They'll be fine

Pelinka looks like a cross between Rob Lowe and Quagmire.

LeBron is a massive coup for the Lakers. I actually think they're championship caliber in the normal NBA. In the actual NBA, the Warriors are the only championship team.
