    No terrible combo defensively and they don't get anyone involved. There's a reason Portland barely made the playoffs with two of the best scoring guards in the league

    This could just be a last ditch effort by NYK to try and get Morey to raise what he is willing to offer.

    Melo isn't gonna waive his no trade clause for a team that likely isn't gonna make the playoffs without him

    "That tremendous backcourt in Portland"?

    They are good. Sure. I'm not trying to take anything away from them. But tremendous?


    We have James Harden AND Chris Paul. Both of which I would easily take individually over Lillard and McCollum combined. With Eric Gordon coming off the bench. I still can't really comprehend that.

    It's a good time to be a Rockets fan

    Woj is a very nice politically correct guy. I'm sure he doesn't mean their backcourt is better than ours

    GSW, Houston, SAS, OKC all would still be better than them. So with Melo 5th seed at best.

    They would be in mix with LAC, Minnesota, NOP and Denver depending on chemistry and injuries.

    Without Melo, they would be in a fight to barely squeak into playoffs. The Western Conference is stacked.

    playing a pickup game with one of his trainer's other clients (cj) is not really pressuring anyone. anything short of agreeing to waive that NTC for POR would mean to HOU. especially when DM already knows his sidedish girl lives in HOU and his best friend plays here

    Portland is a garbage dump, in return they send us a championship. They did us a solid, we did them a solid waste.
