    Plot twist: Dame has already talked to Melo

    Dame: Hey C how's it going?
    Melo: Great man, just waiting out this trade thing
    Dame: Hang in there and you'll see how nice it is to beat the Rockets at the buzzer
    Melo: I can't wait!

    If I were a GM I'd only make a deal if Capela was coming my way.

    New York won't find anyone better than Harkless a third team is willing to give up for a deal that wouldn't end with them getting Carmelo.

    Depends how bad NY wants Harkless. If they call Melo's bluff and continue to tell him he has to stay in NY it could happen.

    I don't blame NY. Houston and Clevelabd are both offering shit for him.

    I wouldn't be opposed to it either but I also doubt it. I want something to finally work out for us but he wants to go to Houston unfortunately

    I bet it's going to be really awkward if Melo lands in Houston and on his first day sees CP3s face superimposed on top of this...

    The Rockets are pissed, but they don't have anything to trade. That's their own fault. Nobody wants Ryan Anderson, and the Knicks aren't going to take back any of the contracts that they have.

    Not very likely since it appears no one on the planet wants Andersen and his contract.

    Yeah and Houston wants to keep him. Problem is they want their cake and to eat it too, but to get Melo they will need to share a slice or two. It may come down to what the Lakers are doing with PG, waiting till next year when he opts out and sign him then. But, they want Melo now, and Melo wants to go there now. Its not going to be easy for NYK on Monday when they talk with him. A Portland or nothing ultimatum may not go over well.

    Do you think Carmelo is so opposed to Portland he wouldn't even give it a try? What's the worst case scenario for him? He'd only have to be here a year. He can't be dumb enough to not see the potential squad with him on it.

    The rockets are fuccbois... always thinking their trash should land all-stars, imho they blew their wad on CP3, they gave up all their valuable players outside the core+Capela.

    It seems that he is. I haven't really heard one way or another, I just get that feeling. He really wants to go to Houston. Maybe to convince him yo come here somrone needs to fill his head with sugar plums and the fact he'll playing with Dane, CJ, and Nurkic, that with him Portland can be better than Houston would be.
