Pipe dream but plausible


Quote:

If Wade comes and the Melo trade happens, that means three-fourths of the Banana Boat Express would be in Houston, and of course, with LeBron James's free agency approaching next summer, the Banana Boat may just end up in Houston after all for one last hurrah.

Not at all worth replacing Anderson with Wade. Wade is 35, injury prone, and he's one of the worst three point shooters in the NBA.

If picking up Wade makes us the frontrunner for Lebrun it's a risk that must be taken. I trust that Morey is already thinking 10 moves ahead.

Would make sense why Lebron is always posting Rocket emojis on social media

I love LeBron but I'm not sure if he'll consider us at all. Every media source says he's going to LAL.

This Melo thing is the longest game of "just the tip" I've been a part of.

I asked Steve Kyler this morning if talks have "completely stalled" and he said its just we don't have anything the Knicks want. That isn't some recent revelation though. We have known for some time that we need to dump Rhyno off on somebody else. Guessing the Knicks aren't in a rush, and the Rockets aren't budging on what they are willing to give up since they know Melo only wants to waive his NTC for us. Knicks have no leverage. They either keep Melo and manage the dysfunctional relationship, or trade him to us.

Woj reported a week ago that neither side is in any hurry and that we may wait until the deadline since we'll need him in the playoffs but not in the regular season.

Yeah, but it's better than going into the playoffs knowing that we have no chance against GS.

Not Rockets related, but are all the regular folks on this thread OK? Are your homes doing alright? If not, is there anything I/other folks here can do to help?

I'll be driving back to the H on Monday from Austin to do my part.

LOL...not like you were the only one.

Don't hurt yourself from patting yourself in the back too much.

I also wouldn't be surprised to see the Landry's, Inc. logo on the Rockets' new uniforms either.
