    LeBron is coming. Every single post ive made the past 4 weeks alludes to something about LeBron.

    When he comes I swear to God if anyone acts surprised...

    LeBron said the only players he's ever wanted to play with are CP3, Wade and Melo. He's already played with Wade who can also follow on a vet minimum. On top of those guys, we have James Harden aswell. It's his last realistic shot at winning a title, especially because the Cavs are a sinking ship.

    Those 4 guys are best of friends, man. I think its inevitable.

    Last time we had a super team, Barkley,Pipen, Akeem, rox couldnt get passed kMalone, and Stockton if i recall.



    So i wonder if having too many stars is a bad thing. If houston guts what it has now, i think its not even worth melo. Tucker, and moute fits in the defense roles nicely, where ariza doesnt have to work anymore. Those 3 with harden, and caplea, probably could do some damage in the 4th quarter, and when harden gets tired, just sub in paul. Seem like houston would be in every game, close, no matter who they play now, and just need either harden or paul rested near the end.

    This big three would be totally different. Guard oriented league too.

    that passing the j*zz was doing was sick. makes you wonder if teams need to start moving the ball like that, alot of the ways the warriors and spurs play today.

    He doesn't shoot well in Houston. There's no reason to think he will be terrible at home if he's on another team. He shot 33% at home during the regular season, 47% on the road. That trend didn't change in the playoffs. He was 3 of 29 in Houston and 18/31 elsewhere. There's some issue with him being in Houston. His career home and away percentages are .383 and .379. Those are so close statistically that there's no point in telling you which is home and which is away.

    With the Magic and New Orleans, he shot a combined 27/76 in the playoffs from three point land. That's 36% and there wasn't a notable home and away difference. There's clearly an issue with Houston and who knows what that is. My theory is that he struggles picking out the orange rim in a sea of red behind the basket. I believe Ryan has plenty plenty of value playing anywhere in the league. There's no evidence of him being a career playoff choker. Maybe Les or the new owner should give away white or black Rockets gear at games so Ryno can find the rim. Either that or find him a better home for his amazing shooting skill. He was phenomenal on the road during the playoffs. People are tending to forget that he was great... but only on the road. Same issue he had ALL year.

    Didn't work for LA either when they rented Howard, but this is a different situation because the players fit our style of basketball.

    Ok it's August 16th Lakers traded for Dwight today. Meaning Melo needs to be traded to rockets soon. I think it's coming

    True, but Ryno is incapable of playing the 5 for more than a few minutes a game, especially in the playoffs where boards and blocks go to the guy who wants it most. RA is a defensive liability at 4 spot, a complete disaster defensively when playing the 5.

    This is why Smoov needs to be on the team. He's more versatile and mentally tougher on D and O, especially in big games.

    Hey @DrexlerFan, does this vid mean that GSW and CLE are seriously in the hunt for Melo? I mean he played with CJ and that seems to have been what you're pinning your hopes on. You fool.
