    If this source is legit, Daryl Morey need to get busy. I think we have young players, Expirings, Draft picks to beat out NY, NJ or Orlando.

    Great post. And if it is an effort to gain leverage, it's good to know that we finally have a GM that people mention in an attempt to scare other GMs into coughing up better offers. "Oh ****, we've got to jump on this before Morey comes up with something!"

    THIS IS THE FIRST BIG NAME PLAYER TO EXPRESS INTEREST IN HOUSTON SINCE SCOTTIE PIPPEN!

    I hope we get him.

    A frontcourt of Yao+Scola+Melo would be UNTOUCHABLE.

    Well nuts, need to do a 3 way then. Someone mentioned the Sixers and Iguodala, sounds plausible.

    I am concerned as well !! How will he feel if he is the third person to touch the ball? He will have to become a team player and raise himself up as a person and removing himself from his association with the street.
    Can he do this? :p

    I recognize that, sir. But I had hope we are evolving as a fan, which pressures the character of our team. Blatantly support the actions of idiot stars is akin to selling your soul for a piece of gold. Sorry, I just cannot agree here.

    Melo remembers this game and so does Denver management... they will deal with us!

    imho, we should try to get Billups if we are making offers for Melo. We are the only team with enough assets to make a trade like that work for Denver. It would probably convince Melo even more to come to HOU. We also get an upgrade in PG.

    Brooks + Martin + expirings + young talent + picks

    for

    Billups + Melo + long term contracts


    Yao
    Scola
    Melo
    Lee or Battier
    Billups

    !!!
