    There were still 28 other teams that could have traded for CP3. LAC were the ones with the assets and the GM that got it done.

    The point is that something crazy can happen and Portland does have assets to get things done. Is it likely? Nope. Can it happen? Yes. That's the entire point.

    How dumb can a Rockettes fan be? Part Three
    "New York will give us Melo because... because... well... we have one of Melo's best buddies! And... uh... Harden. So... uh... they'll pay $60M to Ryan Anderson... and give us Carmelo because they... uh... want us to contend... and they want Melo to be able to... uh... hang out with one of his besties!!"

    It amazes me that they're calling Lillard deluded.....

    He talked to Melo..... in person..... these people have never been within 10 feet of Carmelo Anthony. They're going entirely off of second hand reports. Melo has never publicly said anything. None of this has come directly form his mouth. None of it. Not one word.

    The beauty of this should it go down, or even the fact that it is a hot topic, is that Neil Olshey likely inserted himself as the 3rd "facilitating team" as a way of getting his package of players in front of the Knicks and putting the Blazers in the equation. Then he was reluctant about taking on Anderson which caused the deal to stall.

    Or would he just be lucky.

    Understand Nate, Lillard is one of the most hated people by Rockette fans... He accomplished this feat in less than a second.

    I was just thinking that Olshey inserted himself into the negotiation by pretending to be willing to help facilitate a Melo deal to Houston, just to see if the Rockets had any chance. I think he was testing to see how much New York would want our assets like Harkless, while seeing how little they wanted Houston's assets (like Anderson). Once he knew that Houston couldn't trade for New York straight up, Olshey knew he could put the better package together. Now, all that's left is to get Carmelo to waive his NTC for us.

    If Neil did this, it woulda been a genius move by him. A very shrewd move that I've been waiting to see from him for a long time.

    Hmm.... that article doesn't paint what was said in the same light.

    One journalist used his words in a way that I don't think he was saying them.

    "Because obviously he makes us a better team. So obviously with that being out there and being a real possibility, I don’t see why I wouldn’t reach out to him and let him know the interest is mutual if he is interested in us."

    It seemed like Dame was playing it close to the chest.

    If you read the cuckfan's forums when it came out Portland wouldn't facilitate a trade for the Rockettes. They think very differently on NO if this is indeed what happened.
