This. To put it simply, anytime a team chases a star, they will photoshop the team's jersey (or change the color) and basically say, "Hey, this...
Yeah was pretty sure Barkley and Elie lived in New Territory. Really thought Olajuwon was living in Sweetwater (finally remembered the name!) at...
Houston Rockets is a professional basketball team, not Sunday school. They are in the business of winning, not coddling irrelevant players.
And that's where you and I differ. I DON'T consider this disrespect. It just happened that Melo wears the same number as Lin. Again... this is...

Like I said, that's just the media being the media and LoF's being LoF's. They like to raise a stink about everything. The truth of the matter is...
I'm not missing the point. I don't think it was disrespectful, just business. Egos are always bruised during free agency and trades. It comes with...
