    Beverly has heart, he deserves to be on a better team in terms of team ethos.

    Woj says talks have restarted with Melo to Houston.

    But says the same problems are there: nobody wants to take on Ryan Anderson to help the Rockets get Carmelo.

    Eventually the Rockets will have to attach a handful of picks to Anderson which will help set the price for Deng.

    I agree and I think that's exactly what's happening. Woj says explicitly that there's zero trade between the two teams. Houston is desperately looking for a 3rd party willing to facilitate and obviously they're having a hard time doing it. When they find someone, we'll get to see the price of dumping a bad deal in order to make a good team great. Part of me hopes the price is just an unprotected 1st. That means we can get rid of Deng for just one pick.
