    Did he separate his shoulder signing the contract?

    Still clueless about salary cap and how much his salary is holding us back eh How did you like the Anderson cameo in game 7?

    Rocket fans that knew how salary cap works and how much of a scrub Ryan Anderson is had been crying all season long.

    Ask Morey about Ryan Anderson and migraines lol.

    Dude, a few more weeks and you can fire up your Ryan Anderson Postivity thread!

    Trade a glue guy who elevates the defense to another level and replace him with a me-first, washed up, no D cancer in Melo! Smh!

    Just saw someone tweet his but the question is:

    Barring contracts and money, would you trade Ariza and Mbah a Moute for Melo and Carter-Williams? I can’t help but think yes.

    Durant
    Iguodala
    Curry
    Thompson
    Livingston
    Green
    Cousins

    Harden
    Anthony
    Paul
    Gordon
    Green
    Tucker
    Capela

    Top 7 for each team (if we resign Capela and sign Anthony)
    We are right there

    Wow!

    Now we know why Morey prioritized drafting NBA ready wings in the draft. Those guys better be ready to play!

    The much discussed Ryno for Bazemore trade is basically a necessity now. Ryno HAS to go especially if Melo is coming in.

    And we aren't even guaranteed to get Capela back. If we lose Capela, Luc, and Ariza this off season, say goodbye to any kind of defense. This is awful news.

    As for Luc, I thought he was joined at the hip with CP3. That part stuns me the most. Redick also had a chance to play with CP3 again and declined.

    Not really fair to lump Redick in there. He signed for $12 million. He wasn't going to play for the minimum to play here.

    He wanted to play here last year and we changed the deal.

    Much like Ariza, Moute likely bought out after the trade deadline and back with the Rockets.

    Money's a good surgical procedure for removal from said hip apparently.

    This is why CP3 getting injured was so difficult to swallow. Our window of winning wasn’t high to begin with and we were in the red zone basically. Now our wing D takes a hit and all we are worried about is signing Melo? Seriously though F the Clippers for signing him. The Clips are basically in rebuilding mode, whats the point of prying him away from a team in contention?

    The Ferfita efect? Why buying a team for 2 billions and low ball on all your free agents from a championchip caliber team?

    Again, why would players who leave for more money give up that money they left for to come back?
