    We really need to try to not have so many threads about every topic or sub-topic and about every Rockets-related transaction or report. I know it is frustrating when GARMers flood threads to like 50 pages in an hour but this isn't the solution.

    Rockets are getting Melo so he will be our starting SF and sometimes PF depending on the rotation so people need to realize this.

    Considering that it’s important we sign a or trade for a defensive gifted SF. I don’t know much about Bazemore but I heard he’s good?. Batum
    Could be another.

    Rodney Hood, MKG, Aminu or Harkless...young wings that we may be able to finagle from there teams. Not perfect players, all 4 have deficiencies but I would take any of the 4 instead of Melo in the starting lineup

    Hood is out. We are using our MLE on Melo.

    Guys who are on decent contracts playing for other teams are out of reach. We have nothing to offer in a trade.

    Kyle O'Quinn. With the Warriors and Lakers, not to mention youngbloods like Suns, Mavs, etc. stocking up on 4's and 5's, it's not hard to see a slight shift toward big man dominance. If we can't directly stop wings, might as well make 'em work for it in the paint.

    James Ennis is probably the one guy that can play defense but his offense is shaky. Morey will get something done. I still cannot believe we lost both Ariza and Luc. Its been a frustrating off season so far

    What about a couple of RG Vipers of recent past? Cleanthony Early and Chris Walker?

    If we don’t do the atl trade.....

    I could see us taking on Batum as we could be the ones actually getting assets in the deal....

    Ryno + Nanu for Batum

    Bill Russell ,11 time NBA champion, is a free agent. Why don't we sign him as our capella replacement.?

    What does melos college career have to do with anything now at age 34?

    Just sayin, he's a winner.

    He also has more Olympic Gold medals than any players in the history of Basketball. A true team player and champions that Melo chap is

    I dont blame Luc. With his bum shoulder, if it pops on him again that might be the end of his career. He needs all the money he can get.

    Also people forget Luc and Ariza were no shows in game 7. Take away one referee and Rockets still would have won without those two playing well.

    Right now Rockets have Harden, Paul (two hall of fame players), PJ Tucker and possibly Capela in the starting line up. Not bad if you ask me. I'm not worried.

    People really do think that these players bleed Rocket Red will stay for evwr and really believe these Marketing Mottos "RunAsOne" News Flash! They Don't! Show them the Money! and if Morey keeps paying fringe players big money he'll be with out a job! I'll like to see a full season of Gearld Green fully in the rotation as well as MLE Melo. Then fill the roster with an Anderson Trade.. that get us a couple guys that can make stops.
