    Man, I couldn't honestly tell you. Its been so long ago. I do remember he wasn't exactly the most honest person, and had a bunch of people pissed at him. Securities fraud, or something financial like that. The name stuck, cause I've had a buddy for many years, that has a similar name...

    "One of the teams that New York and Houston had hoped would facilitate a multi-team trade for Anthony -- the Portland Trail Blazers -- only plans to participate in a deal for Anthony if he decides to expand his no-trade clause to include the Trail Blazers, league sources told ESPN.

    Outside of Golden State, Portland believes the addition of a player such as Anthony would furnish it with talent and depth comparable to those of the top Western Conference contenders, league sources said. Because of that, the Blazers have little, if any, inclination to facilitate an Anthony deal that would land him with a Western Conference rival such as Houston, league sources said."

    Yuck. I've got this trade and the Senate attempt to pass Trumpcare tangled up in my brain. Both of them must fail, but we're relying on very dubious people doing the right thing.

    I don't really see why we'd want Carmelo. I'd rather have Anderson actually, who is a better shooter than Carmelo. What would Carmelo add to the team? We already have 2 very good 1 on 1 scorers. Carmelo is not considered a good defender.

    I'll take Melo and his less guaranteed money (and shorter contract) over Ryan Anderson. Seems like Portland came to its senses and realized "hey, the Knicks want Harkless, fuck Houston, they don't actually have anything New York wants! We don't have to help these assholes."

    Who would you rather have with the Ball in their hands in a playoff game, Melo or Anderson?

    Lillard and CJ are getting trapped, they likely look to Nurk first who finds the open man. Now, Melo or Anderson?

    Melo wouldn't be in a playoff game.

    Lillard, CJ, Nurk, and Melo don't make the playoffs?

    I would love to trade for either Carmelo or Anderson... both players are a talent upgrade and give Blazers a better shot to compete... you won't get better talent than those two with the assets we are offering in trade. That's as good as you can hope for without offering CJ. Again, I don't understand why so many in here are concerned about Paul Allens money more so than even Paul Allen himself if he is willing to make those trades... it's baffling
