    Let me help you out Morey,

    Melo and Knight for Dennis Smith
    Or
    Melo and Chriss for KVP
    Or just do
    Brandon Knight for Faried

    yup, especially when he knows a conference rival wants him.

    These all seem like strictly financial moves this season, not moves to improve a badly depleted basketball team. Maybe there's an endgame and it will all pay off toward the trade deadline. But if it doesn't, it does seem like a waste of an MVP's talent in the prime of his career.

    This is absolutely the case. Everyone needs to stop with the whole Tilman is broke, it stop being funny a long time ago ( and he's only been the owner for less than 2 seasons). It's just lame

    We are not just going to give Melo away

    Seems like we are to the point that you would offer a break-even financial deal for Melo just to clear the roster spot. That would be paying a small market team a lot of money.

    Nunnly looked okay and considering he didn’t practice with the team I’d say he was as productive as House, and much more productive than Chriss or Ennis. Keep the guy. We need a SF that can knock down a few 3’s.

    As for the Tillman comments, yes, they’re getting old. Morey is the one making these moves. He’s the one that assembled team. He handcuffed team by signing an injury-prone CP3 to a long term bloated contract and made some head scratching moves with Melo, Ennis, and MCW. I understand the trade with Knight and Chriss but that was only because of his previous bone-headed move with Anderson. This mess is all on Morey, so he needs to clean it up.

    Oh well we ran out of people to cut. I have never seen so many mid season off the waiver signing and FA signings. Whatever they want to say about Harden ball, we are the only team that can do it. :D

    Teams can just wait out till the Feb deadline. The Rockets will be forced to waive him at that time.
