Why? So ryan anderson can start?
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

Does Houston start Paul/Harden/Gordon/Tucker/Capela or Paul/Harden/Tucker/Melo/Capela?

I wouldnt want melo on my nba team
I wouldnt want melo on my park team
I wouldnt want melo on my 2k team

Just a selfish chucker that plays no defense and thinks that he is 5x better than what he actually is.

Probably meant out of touch. Meaning, out of touch with reality Melo signs.

I can't understand why people complaining about Melo coming to Rockets even now when he agrees to play for the veteran minimum, and forward Ariza (and Mbah a Moute) left Houston!?

Houston team is stronger today than yesterday for sure, but Capela case is more important for their 2018-19 season.

I think he should work out a lot better on the Rockets this year and than he did with the Thunder. He actually fills a need on this roster. Almost anything is an upgrade to how Ryan Anderson played last year.

Tucker is the starting PF not anderson. Unless you think melo starts at sf (which is a bad idea) I dont know what need this fills unless its bench scoring which should help the rockets.

because he plays less than no defense and at least as of a few months ago thought he was still a star

I don't mind Melo on the minimum, if acts up or causes any grief, cut him. Not biggie, it's some reward and no risk. My question is if Melo was willing to accept the min, why the **** did we let Moute walk when we have the tax MLE still in hand!? I hope Morey has a move in mind, or that just makes no **** sense.
