    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I wasn't arguing which player I'd rather the Blazers acquire (neither, preferably, unless Turner/Crabbe is headed the other way), just that playoff performance, besides being a small sample size, doesn't really help Anthony's argument for which player would help more on the court.

    This may be the only reason the Knicks attempt to talk Carmelo into coming to Portland, they seem to want Harkless bad. I dont see Anthony wanting to come here though...unless the Knicks tell him its Portland or stay. Would he choose to stay?

    I wonder if the knicks just stopped talks because they realized no one wanted Houstons trash and they figured they'd cut that middle man out and deal with Portland directly since we do have something they want. So since Carmelo hasn't said he'd waive his ntc for Portland, they're giving him two options; either expand your teams to include Portland, or stay in New York.

    I agree and I think he would. He likes living in New York so I think he'd put up playing for the shitty team for another year and then opt out next summer.

    I hope I'm wrong. Would love to have him. We need to send papa Nurkic to "talk" to him.

    He could look at it as a 1 year exit from New York. Which would be better than staying in New York for him.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Honestly, New York has no incentive to trade Anthony for junk and Anthony has no incentive to waive his no-trade clause for any team but the ones he wants to go to (Houston and, presumably, Cleveland). Anthony likes being in New York. New York will either drop his contract next off-season (if he chooses to leave) or, at worst, the season after. Since it seems like they're being offered non-valuable players, just having his contract come completely off their salary structure is probably the next-best option.

    So, unless Houston upgrades its offer a lot (like offering Capela or something), the stable state seems to be no Anthony trade at all.

    Took a 10 year nap. Wake up to this monster of a thread. Shit guys, the effort here is impressive.

    Good to see you around still, Minstrel!

    Fairly certain they cannot be traded until mid-Dec.

    They act like they're entitled to Carmelo. Motherfuckers, no one wants your shit. Enjoy your first round exit next year, you got the perfect addition to assure it.

    A draft rookie may be traded starting 30 days after he signs his contract.
