    Well, at least we all know who to blame when things go sideways.

    I've ran into Cuban before and talked shop, why not? I think the contract stuff could be speculation of course, as to why he didn't sign today as expected.

    Something tells me the owner of a team is not going to divulge confidential information to a nobody in a public setting when randomly asked.

    That's just me using common sense though.

    Edit: if your friend had a good old chinwag, Til seems like he's be just as happy with a photo together. So why the creeper shot from across the bar?

    This washed up fool is not even on the Rockets yet, a contending team that is willing to give him a chance to redeem himself, and he is already making playing time/starter demands.

    If Morey still signs him after this, he has lost the plot.

    MElo = MEloser.

    Always about himself.

    I wouldn’t care that much. If Melo plays anything like last season it would be a bullet dodged.

    I’m not saying you’re lying, but the rockets have talked with Melo and his people for a month now. There were only two places he would’ve joined. Houston or Miami, and Miami has said they’re not interested earlier. Every reliable reporter stated he will be a Rocket at every juncture of this offseason.

    If he isn’t a Houston Rocket, then he must’ve duped everyone in the NBA. And he’d have no other place to even go unless it’s to join the Kings or something.

    Maybe his friend is a somebody. :)

    Okay, OP, you've used photographic evidence to prove that Tilman was at a bar. Where's the audio of the conversation?!?

    I don’t doubt your friend... at all. Thanks for the heads up. Still believe he’ll be a Rocket when the dust settles however.

    I hope your buddy bought Mr. Fertitta a drink considering the financial struggles he is enduring.

    LOL. Zboy just had an orgasm or three.

    Don't toy with his emotions!

    Well R0ckets03 didn't say Melo ain't happening, just that it seems like they can't come to an agreement and that melo seems to have some strict demands..... It'll probably happen still but feel like someone will have to make a compromise they won't like in the long run

    OP is telling the truth. Tillman was at Moxies just a little bit ago.

    I still think Melo signs.

    Edit: I misread OP. Still think it's weird for an owner to gripe about this, would assume he kept his cards closer to his chest.
