The super Melo to Portland thread + The Big Blockbuster

In the trade machine trades... Not sure that means they are 100% accurate.

 

I haven't liked any of the trade scenarios in this thread

 

Sorry man. Just trying to be realistic. I don't think there's an option to do this trade without taking back Anderson.

Fuck Rudy Fernandez....

 

Why does the fact that Anderson is mentioned automatically mean he is coming to Portland, and not New York? They could find a way to give him and Porzingod minutes.

Nurk inside with Dame, CJ and Anderson in the perimeter is nasty. He's a solid fit on this team since we need better wing shooters for our half-court offense.

 

If NY is dealing Melo, I can't imagine they want an overpaid 29 year old.

 

Only way you take on Anderson is we can dump AC and Turner in the same deal.

It's kinda odd though. In that similar role, i like Anderson better than Melo

 

Is that even Carmelo or just some random tall black dude? His ass doesn't look big enough.

 

I'm not touching that one. Literally.

 

Read the name on the luggage tag.

Now that I've looked at the trade machine, here's my conclusion:

Houston: "We'll trade for Melo"
NYK: "Really, great. Wait, looking at your payroll Ryan "old shooter who shot 28 3FG% in the playoffs" Anderson must be part of any deal - that ain't gonna work."
Houston: "Let me get Neil on the line."
NO: "Ryan Anderson is a net negative. We'll take him if we get a draft pick, and an expiring Ariza."
NYK: "Neil, we only want young players, who ya got."
NO: "Tons of potential, but needs a change of scenery Meyers Leonard. How about Evan Turner?"
NYK: "Nice try Neil, make it Crabbe instead of ET".
NO: "OK, but you've got to get him to waive the trade kicker."
NYK: "Will do"

a few minutes later...
NYK, NO, Houston: "Done." "Done." "Done."

We save $2 mil right away, and we lose Davis's ($6.3mil) and Ariza's contract ($7.4mil) at the end of the year.

 

Oh it's him alright.

 

I don't think we will be shedding both AC and ET. Gonna keep one or the other.

 

Well, crap! You expect my old eyes to read THAT fuzzy type?

 

Frankly, if we're dropping that much money, I'd rather have Melo.......

Of course, he wouldn't come here.

 

LOL. There were so many ways you could have blasted me on that post. Thanks for passing.

 

Oh come on..... you know you want to literally touch Melo's ass

 

man..I know news is slow, but damn, cut back on your sugar boys lol
