Melo got his own wax statue at Maddame Tassaud's. Also, he has lost 12lbs.

Technically he did make a great deal in December, but Stern blocked it.

i think the person that started that rumor was Greg himself. he said he liked whats going on there and wanted to play there. low risk/high reward but didnt they say hes not even gonna be able to play at all next season?
sweet trade for the Pistons..... not really but i expect Charlie V to get amnestied soon.

Don't even bother saying that last part. People gonna still come with the same old rhetoric about him being fat and out of shape.Originally Posted by Scientific Method

The day he's the same weight as KD that's when those same idiots will start saying he needs to gain some muscle to be effective in the post.

Well clearly he was out of shape if he needed to lose 12 pounds just to get in shape. And why even compare him to KD at this point?
Morey is more competent than most GMs in this league. He's had some bad luck, but he hasn't made any big mistakes, and his team is in good position going forward with cap room and trade assets. Not his fault Houston doesn't have a superstar in place to build around, or an owner like Cuban willing to throw money around regardless of the old lux tax.

Jun 26, 2012 8:20 PM EDT
The Bobcats have acquired Ben Gordon and a lottery protected 2013 pick in a trade with the Pistons for Corey Maggette, according to sources.
Gordon has two seasons remaining on his contract while Maggette's deal expires in 2013. Gordon is owed $25.6 million on his contract while Maggette will earn $10.9 million. Detroit will save $14.7 million with the trade.
Sources confirm to Ken Berger that the first round pick is lottery protected in 2013, top-eight in 2014, top-one in 2015 and unprotected in 2016.

Peep Morey's draft track record, and then get back to me. Same with trades. He's hit for contact way more than swung and missed. This on top of the fact that he was shackled with trying to build around Yao and Tmac, and then Yao. Shackles are free and we've seen him go after Melo, Dwill when he was a Jazz, now as a FA, Pau before the season, Dwight at the deadline and still, Dwight now.

Morey found Chuck Hayes, Carl Landry. Knew Lowry was the good for awhile and traded for him. Got Scola for nothing. Sold Aaron Brooks while his stock was high. Sold Trevor Ariza's stock before it got even lower. Turned Chase, a second round pick into the 18th in a deep draft class. Chandler Parsons can ball. To the etc

He probably will because Morey is so desperate to make a splash.. Never mind that it's bad business because he's not staying there and he'll leave in a year for nothing...Trade up and draft a couple of kids you can actually build around.

^Rockets have enough young players already, and have for awhile now. They need the big splash, whether it's a rental or not.

Les Alexander doesn't want to tank and rebuild though. Morey has been on record saying that really is the best way to rebuild, the OKC way. Les wants to contend. For better or for worse. If DWill resigns with the Nets, as opposed to going to Dallas and waiting on Dwight to come over, that just means that extra year that the Nets could offer him loomed large. It can happen, but how often do you see a superstar leave that extra year in guaranteed cash on the table? Dwight could very well leave, but I think it's worth trying.

If Dwight leaves, then @##% it, you can finally start the rebuilding like they should've a while ago. If he decides to stay and you somehow manage to get D-Will, then you've finally made your big moves.
It's win-win for the Rockets. They aren't going anywhere with what they have now. They're just average as hell.
Eric Gordon now a possibility too. Rockets are all over the damn place.

"Turned Chase Budinger, a second round pick into the #18"
I don't get the big deal behind pointing out Budinger was a second round pick. Just because that was his value then doesn't mean that's what it is NOW. Actually, look at who is mocked at #18, his value right now is THAT... #18... which means it's not that great of a trade unless Morey dealt him for something better like end of the lottery or better.

All I was trying to allude to was Morey drafted Chase, who turned out to be a good rotational player, and now flipped him for a first round pick. Same thing he's done during his tenure. Get these under the radar guys and then flip em. Bud is a good fit for Minnesota, clearly the best long range shooter on the team.
