      I think it'd be....


      Jones
      Melo
      Howard
      James
      Beverly



      Melo at the 2 I think he's too soft and slow to guard 2's. Doesn't have James ferocity and speed. Or stamina for that matter.
      You could plug me in at the 2 and that team would be more than fine. I don't think they're worried about who starts at the 2 guard in that scenario

          Just trading Harden for Melo would be a win for the Rockets and Knicks. If that lures LeBron out west then great, not the Pacers problem until the Finals anymore. I could also see Bosh tagging with LeBron to Houston if that happens, even if it's for the MLE for a year.

          Going to be some crazy **** most likely happening in next couple weeks.

Dalembert doesn't have much left and I can't see Phil taking a chance on sucking on an epic level if we have to watch Bargnani play center.

            I like the trade though - Chandler's a fit type player and his fit isn't with us. Plus while he's still solid, he's not what he was 2-3 years ago. We'll see how Larkin turns out too. I liked him at Cincy, didn't see him last year.
            Aww man DK, you don't want to see a lineup of Calderon/Hardaway/Smith/Bargnani/Dalembert...that team could win like 16 games!

              Houston wouldn't have the money to get Bosh too. Plus, like I said earlier, in the extremely unlikely event that the Rockets pull this off, then Melo is probably playing the four and LeBron the three. Their forwards would basically be interchangable like our wings. I really, really doubt they would shift LeBron down to the 2 and Melo would get absolutely torched trying to defend that position.

                The Golden State Warriors may be interested in trading for Chandler Parsons if the Houston Rockets need to create cap space by attaching Jeremy Lin.

                Lin first played in the NBA with the Warriors.

                Parsons will be a restricted free agent and the Rockets would like to re-sign him, but they are also interested in acquiring Carmelo Anthony and/or LeBron James.











                In a radio appearance, Chris Broussard reported that the Houston Rockets and New York Knicks could agree upon a sign-and-trade of Carmelo Anthony for James Harden.

                The Rockets could then sign LeBron James with anticipated cap space created by trading away Omer Asik and Jeremy Lin in order to form a Big 3 with Anthony and Dwight Howard.

                James and Anthony have reported interest in playing together.
                I laugh at the notion that the Rockets think that Melo is an upgrade over Harden.

                This is a lateral move.....at most, it's a slight improvement going from Harden to Melo on the offensive end.

                    It's a slight upgrade on both offense and defense, maybe more than slight on defense...not that Anthony is a great defender, just that Harden is really really awful...

                      Could you even imagine how bad that lineup would be defensively? I'd guess Shumpert would start someplace though - might win 19.

                        You all know Felton to Dallas makes perfect sense, right?

                        Texas has less restrictive gun laws.

                          Wonder what it would take to get Terrence Jones?
