    And who was responsible for getting James Harden (in prime)?? Every single GM in the league has a laundry list of guys they went after, and didn't get. It's literally part of the job. Your criticism makes absolutely no sense, and reeks of only blaming the failures on him, and none of the successes.

    We MAKE Dragic's and Lowry's, we don't PAY em. Morey completed a trade to acquire Pau Gasol. Not trading for Amare, who the Suns wouldn't let take a physical first was FINE/THANK GOD.

    He did say that was "all he had to say".

    Obviously he didn't have anything else to say for the past 18 years

    This is a really, really dumb post and indicative of why we don't view things in a vacuum.

    Dragic-had Lowry already on the team, couldn't keep a guy that was looking to start and play more minutes...which he did get.


    Lowry-left because of his relationship with McHale

    Gasol-trade was vetoed by NBA commish

    Stoudemire-made of paper mache, dodged a HUGE bullet with that one, Knicks had a hard time with that contract after he was pretty much done as an all-star player from injuries


    Bosh-dodged a huge bullet with his blood clotting issue and played only 97 games total over 2 seasons after receiving a max 5-year deal with the Miami Heat.

    Stephen A's word was gospel and everyone was on his nutz when he first reported Melo would sign with Houston if he was bought out.

    Now he doesn't know **** because what he said doesn't benefit what you want to happen. Y'all funny.

    Is Potato acutely aware that you refer to him as Potato?

    SAS probably has to say what his sources tell him to say. Keeps the sources happy.

    Agreed, but Chinese ownership would bring in additional Chinese revenue regardless of whether or not Qi is here. If someone is actually thinking of spending 2 billion plus just to have rights to own Qi's contract, they're in the wrong business.

    Other side is that Qi raises the price for some buyers, but not all. Gotta keep doing what's best for the team to get the best price. Trading Qi to get Melo is probably going to be what's best for Houston. Either way, I like the way you think.

    As soon as I read this I started laughing because I was imagining your conversation.

    "Hi, this is Ben DuBose with Locked On Rockets. I'm trying to get a hold of Potato."
    "There's no one here that goes by that name."
    "Are you sure?"
    "I'm just playing with you, this is Potato. What can Potato do for you?"
    "Do you have a deep fryer?"

    Melo Is in a holding pattern because of Kyrie. Once Kyrie sweepstakes are done 100% and Knicks are out of it. I then expect the Melo trade to be done. If any rookie is in the Kyrie deal. They cannot be dealt till next Friday. So Melo, Kyrie 4 way talks could be on pause till then if there was a 4 way in which Melo goes to houston, and Kyrie goes to NY.

    One possible 4 way I see is Bledsoe to CLE and Ntilikina to PHX. But I feel the suns think an offer straight up to Cleveland for Kyrie would be much better.

    Once Kyrie is dealt to PHX. Or even if Minny comes with an offer including Wiggins.

    Then the Knicks will start to move quickly on a deal to move Carmelo Anthony.

    It's very possible by then, Melo could play a game with Knicks leaving them no trading partners only to buy out carmelo
