Trade for Carmelo?

  1. Hell yes - I'd give up Lillard for him!

  2. Sure, so long as we're not giving up Lillard, McCollum or Nurkic

  3. Sure, so long as we dump one of our big contracts (Crabbe or Turner)

    Should the Blazers trade for Carmelo (assuming he waives his no-trade clause)?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    If we're sending out Crabbe or Turner, Carmelo Anthony makes for a more fun way to spend Allen's money on our way to losing to the Warriors.

    You should feel dirty for creating the first option.

    Well, Carmelo Anthony's a superstar. Lillard is just a star.

    Sure. Even if he bolts after one year, he helps cut team salary.

    I legit had a tough decision, because if there is ANY chance to get Leonard off this team I want that to happen... but I know we need the cap relief in a couple years so I went with the other option.

    You guys are nuts.

    Worst. Star. Ever.

    My pal in NY is praying someone takes that loser off their team.

    Entirely depends on what it takes. Melo is not an efficient player anymore.

    I only take him on if we get rid of at least one of Turner, Crabbe or Leonard.

    He has rarely been an efficient scorer. There were a couple seasons where he shot a high percentage. He's capable. He just hasn't done if often.

    He is capable to be efficient when he is 4th option. He isn't ready to accept that though (outside of Olympics) so while he may be capable you just aren't going to see it from him at this point in his life.

    Just so we're clear he was 22/6/3 last year. Who cares what he makes this year.

    Yes! Always go to a party with a hot chick, it makes it easier to pick up other hot chicks.

    He only shot 43.3% from the field though. That's not great. He also only shot 36% from three.

    His PER was 17.9..... that's not superstar level. His TS% was 53.5.

    If we can get him without breaking up the Big Three, I say go for it.

    I agree. It's time for a big splash move.

    Your pal is probably used to all these winners they had through the years and blames loser Melo...
