from the ringing endorsement today sounds like Horny wants nothing to do with Melo.

What did he say?
im paraphrasing. But someone asked him if he wanted Melo back. Instead of saying sure or of course. He said that was a front office decision not mine.
I'm still not convinced Hornaceks the coach next year

Im cool with him going to DC or Cleveland but Boston is a no no.
Give me Kelly Oubre + Markieff Morris + option to swap 1st for the next 2 years.

here is the rosen interview - about the 30 minute mark
http://www.espn.com/espnradio/play?id=19768943
says kp would definitely have left in 2 years if phil stayed (kp hates phil and you'll like it)
says he never consulted phil for an article. we just both see the game in a certain way.
says he hasn't talked to phil but phil would never advocate a buyout of melo
says jeff wants to run but melo can't run (so admitting jeff really didn't want to run the triangle)

Absolutely not.
I think we can still flip Ryan Anderson to another team. We're not gonna get much more than a Ryan Anderson type.

no way we should take on a longer contract that is even bigger than Noah's that has no benefit to our team whatsoever - horrible trade - buyout is much better than that

If we can flip him, then it should be a 3way. Why take that risk? I still don't see Melo and Mike D together.

This is unbelievable, if true.
Like, unbelievable that in 3 years I've never seen anything about this. What are these journalists doing? I mean, why go fact checking when you can make things up.
Being a journalist here is exactly like being an accountant... no incentive to go above and beyond. Just put in your hours and go home to drink beer.

I'm a little late on the news, but lemme see if I understand this correctly. Is Melo open to a trade now? If so, did he purposely wait for the time when his trade value would net us the least it possibly could in return?

At least Ryan Anderson won't be able to torch KP for 30 every time they match up if he's on our team...

PJax platoon thought PJax was going to outlast Melo. Looks like they were wrong again.

He is still the best SF they have
Melo was a below average player last year, making 26 million dollars. BELOW AVERAGE.
His WS48 was .089 where 1.00 is an average player.

Win shares. The same stat that said Ryan Anderson and Carlos Boozer were top defenders
