if that is true (I don't trust anonymous fan accounts on Twitter), I would assume they want to wait until after the CP3 press conference
Or they could get it announced today and have the two of them there on Friday.

I shudder to imagine the ticket prices if that happened.
Won't affect me much, I'm a season ticket holder.

Are you guaranteed prices won't increase year to year?

I've been a season ticket holder since 2013 in section 404, row 2. When we originally bought them they were just under $1,200 a ticket, now they're about $1,250. The increases from year to year are minimal and our renewals are typically due in March. Lots of great presale perks and rewards as well. I can't speak highly enough of the Rockets ticket sales team.

Today is the worst sports day of the year. We can make the day after the All Star Game great again by announcing our Melo trade.

We get Melo
Nets get Anderson +
Knicks get Assets and Expiring Contracts

This whole ordeal seems like it is taking one step forward, two steps back. I wish an announcement would just be made one way or the other.

So essentially if we get it done and only fork over Ryan Anderson you got a rotation of:

Chris Paul
James Harden
Trevor Ariza
Carmelo Anthony
Clint Capela

Eric Gordon
Troy Williams
PJ Tucker
Nene

Pretty solid.

How often does a 4 team trade happen?

Leave it to a Morey.

Generally teams don't have pressers to announce they tried really hard to get rid of several players to get someone else, and it didn't work out.

An "announcement" could be a Woj tweet saying that negotiations broke down and Melo to Houston is dead. I never said a team announcement.

I have also been pleasantly surprised by the modest year to year increase in season ticket prices. They are very reasonable as long as you aren't trying to upgrade your seats, then you pay new customer prices.

Pretty solid.
I would personally guess that the Rockets finish #2 seed in the conference if that is their roster.

#1 Warriors
#2 Rockets
#3 Spurs
#4 Oklahoma City

And if that is how the second round of the Western Conference playoffs plays out

#1 Warriors vs. #4 Oklahoma City
#2 Rockets vs. #3 Spurs

what a fun set of second round matchups to watch.

I think I dislike Ian Begley more than Ramona Shelburne. They are giant dewshes.

So what is Portland willing to give up other than their dumb contracts for Ryan Anderson?

And the Knicks still don't want dumb contracts. They want young assets, cap space and picks.

What are the proposed 4-team trades?

Is Spav calling the plays? Because if so, expect a delayed handoff out of the shotgun, bubble screen, bubble screen, and a fade pass on 4th down.

The frustrating thing about this is that we all know it will happen, but nobody knows any details. I'm getting antsy.

I just don't see how it happens without us giving up one of EG or Clint. And if we have to do that, I don't want to do it at all.

Based on Twitter and Clutchfans it doesn't look like we are giving up anything other than Anderson and Non Guaranteed contracts (not sure who falls into that category). Morey may turn Bev, Anderson, Lou, and Dekker into CP3 and Melo. That would be wild.

If you tried that trade in NBA 2K, the AI would say you're the dumbest person in the world. Incredible.

4th and goal, down by 4, 2 minutes left.

I think I see Fran on the sidelines. He's standing by the J train.

I'm having visions of Branndon Stewart audibling to a QB sneak on his own at the end of the first half against KSU in 1996...without letting the rest of the team in on it. No timeouts, play got stuffed, we get no points in a game we end up losing by 3.

I got a half-season ticket this year in 123. I kept eating too many tickets with the full season package, even with pricing them as low as flashseats will allow. 20 games is about right.
