    Excited that we are finally a team that attracts the best talent around the league and in a era that has a team like Golden State, the only way yo have a shot is building your own superteam. Having said that, our window due to Melo's and Cp3's age is really short. I'm a bit worried that in 2 years we will be the Brooklin Nets, sans Harden.

    Yep, which is why I wish we would have given up Gordon to the Pacers as they wanted. Giving up your 6th man for an all star around the same age as your own all star is a NO BRAINER to me. What am I missing here? We could have had a young Harden and PG13 growing and maturing together for the next countless years instead of having a smaller window with CP3 and possibly Carmelo.

    Harden prime & PG13 prime for 5+ years >>>>> Harden + aging CP3 + aging Carmelo for 2 years.

    Now, I'm very excited to see what Harden and CP3 can do, but I really do feel like including Gordon as the Pacers wanted for PG13 should have been the move made.

    The part where George leaves the Rockets the following offseason for the Lakers, like he's been saying he's going to do the entire time, and the Rockets get no talent in return.

    I voted 5 because to me it seems Morey is trying to build GSW lite.

    CP = SC
    JH = KT
    CA = KD
    PJ = DG

    The issue is that the formula is more like this,
    CP < SC
    JH > KT
    CA < KD
    PJ < DG

    Morey's version is Old and Busted GSW and Cleveland already proved that doesn't work.

    In general I would love the trade between Melo/Ryno but had read that it may require Ariza. If that is the case, I would not want the trade. Each day that goes by, I feel more confident the Melo/Ryno/3rdTeam trade will happen. Waiting for the other parties to lower their demand.

    Would like to explore the options in acquiring JaMychal Green which I do not see happening without giving up either at least one of Gordan/Ariza/Capela along with Ryno.

    I had to draw the line at 9 too. Anthony can hit jump shots from anywhere, with 3 point range. And He can get to the basket against guys like Labron, Kuwai, Antetuombkumpo, Blake Griffin, Kevin Durant, Jimmy Buttler; He can get to the line; and Anthony can single-handeadly take over a game. Like Harden. And like Chris Paul.

    exactly. I agree with all of that. I just had to draw the line at 9 because I'm not sure those basketball skills really make me want to have sex with him.

    You're not a real Rockets fan if you're not willing to bang a large black man for a ring!

    Like Melo, but not a fan of giving more than Anderson + Harenstein/Long/Onuaku/eurostash aka Llull for him. Especially no to a 2021 first round pick.
