Carmelo situation may end up being a blessing in disguise. Only way a big 3 would work is if they all really want it to. Harden and Paul have each shown signs of their willingness. We hear positive things about Melo willing to do what it takes and after this last curveball he may have to. He'll have to hold firm that he wants to leave and only for Houston (I've become skeptical that Cleveland is still involved). On the other hand, if he changes his mind after all of this then it's probably for the best that a deal didn't get done.

I'm still optimistic that it happens tho. If it doesn't who's the next target at the deadline? Boogie? Love? Also with Black getting the BAE I'm guessing my dream of picking up a freshly bought out DWade during the season is over.

Glad to see Tarik back in the fold. He's the perfect person in relief for Nene on those back to backs and replacing Harrell. Morey made a mistake picking Dorsey over him to round out the roster in 2014. Morey got nostalgic about one of his former draft picks, then got fooled by Dorsey's vids from overseas where he looked like prime Dwight against dudes from Istanbul and shyt :mjlol:

Bobby Brown byke :whew:

Troy with a 3 year deal, and a little bit more than the vet minimum the first year :myman:

Team is really coming together defensively. Just waiting on the Melo shoe to drop, and everything will be completed. Not hell-bent on getting him now based on the other moves, but this is the perfect set-up to flip Ryno and those random NG'd contracts for him. Need the Suns, Pistons, or whoever to jump in and get this over with

So this is pretty much the near finished product from this offseason. 17 ppl signed, it will be cut down to 15 before the start of the season. And then there's that noise of the one guy on the Knicks

Roster Breakdown

  1. James Harden
  2. Chris Paul
  3. Trevor Ariza
  4. Ryan Anderson
  5. Clint Capela
  6. Eric Gordon
  7. P.J. Tucker
  8. Nene Hilario
  9. Troy Williams
  10. Zhou Qi
  11. Chinanu Onuaku
  12. Isaiah Taylor
  13. Tarik Black
  14. Luc Mbah A Moute
  15. Cameron Oliver
  16. Shawn Long
  17. Tim Quarterman

Thoughts?

Also, D Wade will eventually get bought out and i guess everyone would think he's going back to the heat or the lebrons but would there be mutual interest for him here, off the bench? It only comes to mind bc of the scenario in which we have 2 of his banana boat friends here.
