If the Rockets lose Ariza in a Melo trade, does the added offense make up for the weakened defense?

No, but i think there is close to a 0% chance that happens.

edit: i'd be very very surprised if any of the rockets rotation is involved besides Anderson, really.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
When the Rockets add Lebron to that team next year I'll go ahead and join the bandwagon.

What's their cap situation? Can they do anything they want as long as they sign the Harden contract last?

capped out, but they have a boat load of non guaranteeds and throw ins they can use to match. Saw speculation somewhere Melo may need to waive his trade kicker and is willing to.

"As for the Greek Freak: Who made final call to pass him up, and why? “It was me,” Cuban said. “Donnie [Nelson] was like, ‘OK, I’m putting my you-know-whats on the table.’ He was doing the Sam Cassell, Nick Van Exel dance. … It’s all in. And I’m like, ‘Donnie, we have this plan.’ Because even as good as the Greek Freak has turned out to be, he was still three years away, and we wanted to try to get somebody who could help get us to the top right there and then. Didn’t turn out that way, it is what it is, that happens.”

Finally managed to catch up on all 321 pages and as an Aussie that doesnt get much of a chance to follow all the NBA, i have learnt a lot.

Twolves are the team to watch next season.

Bulls also but for completely different reasons.

KD is a weird dude.

Bismack Biyombo is waaay overpaid.

Also as a Spurs fan and with limited NBA games screened here, i dont know much about Rudy Gay other than his stat line, will he be a good fit and is he going to just back up Kawhi or can he play another spot?

Most people think he's going to be more of a stretch 4, and how good he's going to be depends on how well you think 30 year olds bounce back from ruptured Achilles' tendons

What Cuban meant is he wanted to trade for a worse pick so they would have slightly more money to pay Dwight. LOL at that plan.

I think you pretty much have it.

Gay can play the 3 or the 4, but that was pre Achilles injury. He did post on Twitter that he will have an epic comeback and people don't lie on the internet.
