If the rockets sign Melo then they mind as well sign Gelo the complete the tandem of overrated bums.

How does losing both Ariza and Luc, lowballing Capela and trying to sign washed Melo = going all in....

There is no point in giving Capela some huge bag right now when they don't have to.

They'll find a couple guys to plug in on the wing and will be fine. Maybe just won't win as many regular season games.

Wonder how much worse Duval would be than MCW

 

[EddieDoyers]

Feel bad for Capela
Rough market to be in to try to get the bag

 

[carver]

Lose Ariza and Luc

Sign MCW and possibly Melo

 

[HOU$TON]

Rockets still top 2 in the West

I don’t understand letting both Ariza and LMM walk tho

I trust Morey has something planned

 

[pmatic]

Next to a star, the most sought out commodity on the market is a competent 3 & D wing and the Rockets let go of two of them for $19M this year.

What a waste.

Watch Bron carry that Keystone Cop roster all the way to the WCF

2nd round gonna be great. They get either Houston or Golden State.

 

[B Sox]

Letting both Ariza and LMM walk is definitely odd. Not going to say it isn't.

They could still easily close games with Harden/CP3/Gordon/Tucker/Capela though.

Nah man guys like that easily replaceable. The G league is full of them

 

[buc em]

Once they brought back CP, that was a clear sign that they are going all in.

I mean...they literally HAD to re-sign CP3. That doesn’t signal “all in” at all to me.

Not better than utah

 

[ballinsam23]

When the rockets are back in the WCF we'll see how many people will be asking for LMM

I dont think people here understand that Dantoni turns scrubs into serviceable rotation players. He does it every year for every team he coaches. They'll be fine.

Just gotta stay healthy.

 

[HOU$TON]

Harden & CP3 still play for Houston right ?

 

[trynafeelmink]

The Rockets just lost two long defensive minded, open three making Wings who combined to play 60 minutes per game.... But you know there not really that good

Don't fret tho, ya'll got MCW & are now DETERMINED to sign Melo (the Same Melo who absolutely despised Dantoni a few years prior).... They also offered his Banana boat buddy 40 million a year.

Grand Opening, Grand Closing

If we get Houston, Lakers in 6.

Well when you compromise your depth, you’re more worried about the first 45 mins rather than the closing lineup.

Rotation shortens, guys are playing more mins, not a good thing for 33 year old Tucker & Paul.

Or you try to lengthen the rotation, and now you have inferior guys playing more than they did last year so you’re taking a step back.

I wonder what cards Morey will play now. I’m sure he had a doomsday scenario plotted out where they miss Bron & lose their UFAs.

Lebron and kyrie put on amazing performances too but you need role players to step up

 

[Lovetohate3000]

Good luck expecting cp3 to stay healthy . He will get his yearly playoff Injury and that will be that. They really are wasting hardens prime.

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Crazy nobody gonna take a discount to play with magic harden

 

[MVP]

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Lakers legit have 3 good to elite playmakers. **** is over for choke artist formally known as harden

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Gordon needs to ask for a trade
