    Why would Cleveland help Houston get better? I guess you could argue that a better Houston would challenge GS and you are going to end up facing GS anyway.

    Only if they thought adding Anderson would make their offense even more efficient, and possibly for the upgrade of Lee's perimeter shooting over Shumpert's.

    Also, perhaps they might think that Carmelo doesn't actually make the Rockets better.

    That what I would do but I fill we are stuck with Leonard. Other teams don't seeing him help them and especially with 3 years left on his contract. If he had only 1 year there might be flier but not 3.

    I honestly wonder if Neil wasn't throwing a wrench in the deal to try and get NY to engage CLE on a deal for Love again. The more I look into it I just don't see a realistic trade involving NY/HOU that would make much sense at all for us.

    We've scratched CLE back a couple times, if CLE decides they are willing to move Love for Melo, maybe Neil can convince CLE to return the favor and only participate in the 3 team deal if it involves us. Doesn't matter to CLE anyways. And NY would get a much better return from us if Love was on his way back to Lake O Big Ego. Hark, ED, Vonleh and a second rd pick would work, and pretty good return for NY.

    CLE just needs to wisely decide that they aren't going to beat GSW with the exact same team as last year, after GSW got arguably better... again. Trading for Melo would create a much better small ball lineup w/ Melo or Lebron at the 4 instead of Love. At least it's something different.

    Given the options presented I would say this would be best case scenario.

    That's something that I was wondering as well. I would MUCH rather have Love.

    Dame
    CJ
    Turner?Aminu?Crabbe?
    Love
    Nurk

    That's a pretty good team right there.

    Should we just make the "Welcome to Portland Ryan Anderson" thread now?

    Honest question: Is Carmelo good enough anymore to be worth all of this bother?

    Easy answer: no. But apparently Morey wants more famous names.

    I am willing to bet the 'Melo will be fantastic as your secondary scorer, 3rd best player. Sort of like how good Ray Allen was in Boston next to PP and KG.

    Only if he's willing to be the third banana. Ray Allen was a much better teammate.

    That Houston situation eerily reminds me of the "This going to be fun!" Lakers team with Nash, Kobe, and Dwight.
