Linsanity is still a thing?

Sadly, in Houston it is.

To prove to Melo we are just as awesome of fans, lets get our Hinrich-Insanity on.

Out of all the NY media guys, I trust Isola the most for some reason.

That being said he did say couple days back he doesn't see Melo leaving the money

No the Rockets pitch to Carmelo is having a "Big 5". Lowry/Harden/Parsons/Melo/D12. This is the real reason why Lowry has yet to sign back in Toronto as of now. Morey's pitch is one of we may be in the west but we will be able to put one of the best starting 5's on a NBA floor in league history. This info is not being reported by BSPN but it is the truth. My gut tells me Melo stays in New York or comes to Houston. Morey is a great salesman.

Hell yeah.

from a basketball standpoint this just makes too much sense.

thibs can be like Bernie macs friend in Mr.3000......"just do your thing"

Taj jimmy and Noah will choke the other teams out and he gets to pretty much take all the shots he wants and be da offensive star and show along with Rose and nobody is going to criticize him for it.....all the while being in the Leastern Conference.

Shouldn't he be able to get more endorsements and a bigger Jordan contract as well....that could help offset some of any type of pay cut I would think.

Is Melo wearing a cowboy hat with a smile on his face?

If so we are screwed!!!!

Mouth kiss? Come on dude! You need to step up your game!

This is worth at least a lube and tug. :wink:

Seriously though if this is legit it sounds like we got this in the bag.

13 isn't unlucky in our world. Joakim has blessed this number for us.

If they can pull that off- it'd truly be formidable.

Any idea how that would work salary wise?

Dwight- 21.44
Harden- 14.69
Melo- 20?
Lowry-
Parsons-
cap holds 7x.507
That leaves $3.5M in cap, $17.3 to the tax apron. right?

I wanted to keep rolling with lucky number 11, but no one listens to me around here.

That first tweet means a lot of things, if it's true. If true, this FA tour should be done already basically. If we can keep the entiiire core together, and he's going to be willing to take less money...well, all of our dreams have come true. Let's do it.
