If Houston does sign Carmelo and they're smart about this, they'll be okay. CP3 Harden Ennis Tucker Capela Gordon Carmelo Green Nene They'll be incredible offensively again, but expect a solid step back defensively. we will be worse defensively. ennis isnt a starter on a title contending team.

I think Melton will make the rotation due to his defensive prowess as well. Can't forget about Gary Clark. Probably won't see the minutes but he could fill in for LRMAM.

LIS, I think Melton will make the rotation due to his defensive prowess. There will be enough shooting in certain lineups around him that he won't be a negative.

Texansfan713 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Also im willing to bet Melo would start at the 4 and Tucker at the 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CP can only do so much. losing ariza was big sorry m8, i assume you're a rockets fan? they've gotten worse, even if Melo comes in. and it doesn't matter anyway.

KD broke this league 2 summers ago yeah i was agreeing with your last sentence. this offseason was a fail. the team had everything going for them last season but unfortunately cp3 being hurt ruined their shot at a title. i doubt rockets will be this good next season. it sucks.
