1st Annual PaulGeorge Fishing Tournament

"On Sunday afternoon, George held his first annual celebrity fishing tournament.

Joining him was Russell Westbrook, Josh Huestis, Yannis Morin, Sam Presti and other Thunder staff members."

It's nice that they're already practicing for the playoffs

All but 1 will fish come May-June.
Okc will be one of the last to grab their Poles.

Melo should take OKC seriously. This is a better matchup for the Warriors than any lineup Houston would roll out.

Westbrook
Roberson
PG
Melo
Adams

Nah, you can't play Roberson against GS. You basically playing 4 on 5 against the best help defense in the league.

At least with Houston, Ariza makes them play honest.

1st Round Exit

Robertson would only need the ball on cuts from drive and kicks with the current Line of

Westbrook
Robe
PG
2Pat
Adams

If Melo replaces 2Pat in that starting role, Robes would never have to shoot, ever...but either way their build is a good matchup for GSW.
Robes will never be an offensive issue this year unless it comes with the 2nd unit.

 

[ballinsam23]

Houston is reluctant to move Ariza plus no one wants Ryan's contract. I could see them eventually backing out of a trade.

 

[hardens beard]

There would be no spacing, whoever guards Adams and Roberson would be packed in the paint. Therefore there wouldn't be any driving lanes or cuts to be had from Roberson.

Then add on to the fact that GS has the option to kill any of the Thunders offensive momentum by simply hack a Roberson. I can't see how they would challenge GS with or without Melo with Roberson playing major minutes.

 

[ballinsam23]

Playing Patterson at center would solve that problem. The rebounding wouldn't change much.

The rockets not backing out but I can see the Knicks not trading him and Melo playing out his contract in New York.

Dahntay Jones needs to be drug tested before being signed by an NBA team.

1. LeBreezy
2. Westbrook
3. KD
4. Steph
5. Kawhi
6. Harden
7. AD
8. Paul George
9. Kyrie
10. Klay

They'd have to get 2 other teams involved to complete anything. Things been going on for 2 months now.

Apparently both teams had a trade agreed on by both sides before Perry was hired.

The rockets line of thinking is, as long as we get Melo by the playoffs we can wait.

The Knicks probably don't want to trade Melo while the Kyrie situation is unresolved so that's were the stalemate comes from.

Stalemate comes from no one wanting to take Ryan Anderson. Rockets just don't have any assets to give up unless we get Ariza or Capela. Phil was probably taking back a big contract, Perry too smart for that.

Ryan Anderson was all but traded to Portland. The problem was New York at the last minute decided they didn't want to take Meyers Leonard without a draft pick neither Houston or Portland was willing to give up.
