Y'all had OKC as the #2 seed last year and we saw what happened. They lost Ariza and Luc. Luc would be replaced by a younger version of him in James Ennis. You can't suddenly replace the intangibles and leadership of Ariza, but the Rockets have been needing an infusion of youth at certain spots (I even said this before last season started), and I'm fine with placing a younger in his spot (if that's what happens). They'll more than likely re-sign Capela once they figure out Melo's situation, along with getting rid of Ryan Anderson. So what if CP3 got that money, there's no better person to play beside Harden that can do what he did for him. Cause if they didn't re-sign Paul, y'all would've said "Rockets didn't keep Chris Paul LOLOL 40 wins"

Yeah...the NTC is attached to the contract. Melo didn't lose it by ok'ing a trade to OKC....because he was still on the same contract he got the NTC on. It's gone now since he's been bought out.

Not sure if I’ve mentioned it lately but Mike Muscala is the greatest backup stretch 5 of all time

Still stands
They’ll be easy to guard & he hurts the defense.As far as Melo, good luck guarding GSW with him and harden out there together. You’ll have to split them up for optimal success, which leaves about 10 mins for Melo come playoff time

SEGA 2K3 on the Dreamcast still the GOAT.
All jokes aside, has EA Live been trash for damn near 2 decades?

Rockets being cheap is going to cost them dearly.

Melo not a bad off the ground pick up, Rockets should stretch their hands to Tony Allen/Barbosa

Who knows maybe Melo will be good for the Rockets. They need some mid range game when their 3s don’t fall. Main reason why CP3 always balanced them out so well.

On top of that, Russ has no idea how to play like a 2, and Donovan isn’t the guy to teach him
Russ has some terrible habits engrained into his DNA at this point

Rockets have no chance at all my bro, signing 'Melo is purely a business move to generate buzz and drive merchandise sales. Barring catastrophic injury to at least 2 players on GSW, they are fielding a line up of starters that each command a double team.
I don't know which country or continent they reside in but there are cats out there buying Carmelo jerseys and up until the last year 'Melo M kicks.

low-key I enjoyed live more then 2k last season but I didn't think either them were any good. The last ea basketball game I enjoyed was nba street volume 2 .SEGA 2K3 on the Dreamcast still the GOAT.
Last live game I really enjoyed was like 99 or 2000 .
