Would be a good trade if Brandon Knight could play more than 40 games a year 
Chriss is trash.

Rhyno playing off book and Alton
He might have a better year than Melo
Am I the only one who thinks phx won this trade ?
No pressure to win at all

Phx gonna have the worst defensive team in the league and it wont be close.
Houston won. Need bodies that can play if called upon in playoffs. Knight is a real good back up point. Chriss is beyond trash, but Harden/Cp3 will get the most outta him.

Phoenix won. They essentially got a first round talent in Melton
And they got rid of Chriss

Houston def gonna play this lineup more often than not when they're resting players or for certain stretches. People underrate Knight, dude is as borderline of a starter as there is.
Knight
Eric Gordon
MCW
Jamis Ennis
Chriss

On paper houston won. But long term phx won with Melton and Anderson's cap space

What’s not to like?
Chriss is meh, but still has the potential, especially in this system and we can coach him up a bit (Ahem, Capela). He was traded for 3 first rounders and joined Lebron/KD in a pretty exclusive club. I don’t see much downside.
Knight is 6 million less a year and fills our need of a backup PG (especially with CP). I get the MCW signing, but let’s be real, he was a minimum pick up and we still needed some insurance.
I get the Melton love, but I don’t also. There’s a reason he slipped and I can see the potential. But you say before the draft, we trade Ryno and a 2nd for this same package, everyone is all for it. We hype up our late draft picks way too much (Chinanu, Montrez, Johnson, etc) when there’s a reason they were late picks. You can’t rely on a second round rookie when you’re a team gunning for a championship. I don’t think I can think of any teams in recent memory playing a second round rookie meaningful minutes.
Hell people on CF make it seem like Melton was a top 5 pick. Saying he should be playing 15 mins a game. Sheesh, chill.

There’s a better chance of MCW not making the team than playing meaningful minutes

Hopefully CP3 can make something out of Chriss.

Both have the same number of years (Knight/Ryno) and Rockets can get out of Chriss’ contracted earlier.
Strictly cap, Rockets won.

Melton didn't slip because of his talent. But I get the sentiment
Ryno makes 6 more Ms per year than knight

I think it would be Harden who would make him better but I don’t see it happening either way.

Um cool. So rockets still get out of 20 mill in cap space the same time and can cut ~5.5mill earlier then when Ryno/Knight’s deals end.
Do you even NBA?

It won't matter when they don't sign anybody significant with that 5.5 mil

Literally all Chriss has to do is run and catch lobs from Harden and CP3.

How is Jordan Bell rated 77.
Chriss probably got the most out of the trade he needed a change of scenery.

Lol. Good rebuttal.
What does that have to do with the same amount of money being off loaded at the same time and potentially even before?
