He's pretty spot on with that post. Your logic doesn't make sense, you don't just add stars and say, "Championship!". Last year's lakers are a perfect example of why, and they were probably stronger mentally than the rockets.
Don't be so ing stupid. You and the rest of our pussy fanbase are seriously ing about adding Carmelo ing Anthony and only having to lose Lin and Asik and a pick, or two? off with that nonsense. Two years ago Kyle Lowry and Kevin Martin were our best players, yet here you are with your hurt vagina.

You can stick your head in the sand and tell yourself whatever you want. Idiots like you were crying murder when I brought up the fact that the rockets would lose in the 1st round, a notion so unspeakable when everybody was immersed in the semen cloud of the regular season. That being said, there is no point in trying to explain something so fundamental to an ignorant Morey like yourself. I'm sure you use that same re ed phrase "In MoREY wE TRuST!"
Also,at thinking Lin/Asik + a pick or two would get it done. You really are stupid.
To be fair, the Knicks are desperate for draft picks because they don't have any in this year's draft. Melo opts out, and they could lose him for nothing and not even get any picks. Or, they could do a SnT for Lin + Asik + Jones + 2 of their own 2nd round picks back they gave us, (2014, 2015) and 2 first round picks. Then they could move Asik for more picks at the deadline if they want. It's up to Phil.
That's a great idea, but I don't see Melo taking a paycut to go to Memphis.
Rockets will have an easier time trading Asik than Lin, as mentioned in the article. But if either isn't traded before the start of FA, they are probably going in the SnT.
Imagine the Anthony/Harden perimeter defense too. That team would suck especially with McHale coaching.
Carmelo would be playing the 4.
That isn't much better tbh.
He'd be better defensively there than what they have. And he's a better rebounder.
I'm not familiar with Terrence Jones' defense. Is he really worse than Melo?
yes. Jones is arguably worse than Harden.
Dwight left the Lakers because of a ballhog only to end up in Houston with two of them![]()
Love to HOU and Melo to CHI makes the most sense basketball wise. They both should be able to clear enough cap space in order to get Melo and have assets to trade for Love.
Who would be the other? Just asking since Kobe had only reached the 6 assists per game mark 3 times in 17 seasons while Harden reached 6.1 in his second year of starting. That and the fact Harden averaged more assists in his first year starting than Kobe through his first four years. Also, the fact James averaged the most assists on the team while Beverley only averaged 2.7, your small feeble mind could comprehend why Harden brings the ball up the court so much. And one last fact, Howard averaged more shot attempts playing with Harden than Kobe. Just a little information for your cranium.
These are the types of posts that frustrate me basketball wise. Comparing Melo to Lebron is ludicrous on every level. People said Lebron was a loser? Sure, but Lebron took the terrible Cavs to the finals. Melo has done nothing like that. If you give Lebron Tyson Chandler and the shooters Melo has had at Denver/NY, there is no doubt they go to at least the ECF/WCF (Denver Melo).
Same with Love. If you put Love on the same Knicks teams that Melo has had (or Denver) both those teams go further, especially NY.
HOU doesn't have enough assets to trade for Love, Boston can easily beat those other offers.
When you play a fast pace and have a high usage, you can get assists, especially with phenomenal shooting like HOU has. When you watch Harden, much like Kobe, they are iso-centric players that don't play the right way despite being immense talents capable of winning the "wrong way".
Disagree 100%.
They don't have a reliable PG who can initiate the offense, which is why Harden has a high usage and which is why they must play fast paced. I think getting Lowry would help with halfcourt offense.
Harden, both on OKC and HOU, was a high usage player. He will have the ball in his hands no matter what. That's not the issue. The issue is that unlike guys like Lebron, he likes to iso vs use his talents in passing the ball.
