    Dame and CJ must really like this thread. Each one of those quotes is worth like five extra pages each.

    The ability to string together comprehensive thoughts on that Houston board is like clicking through People of Walmart.

    Jay Allen said



    But the full quote was "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 makes Jay Allen's tweet seem like it's out of context.

    Lol, as if the Rockets haven't tried to recruit free agents before... as if no team has tried to recruit free agents.

    Why are they so salty? Did Lillard's shot have a permanent affect on them?

    It's amazing how much different a quote can sound when you actually hear the inflection.

    CJ was joking when he said "when we get him."

    From what CJ and Lillard said in the vid, i think they didnt sell Melo on PDX. Melo will continue to push for a trade to Houston, but if one just cannot get done, i see PDX as the alternative to going back to the knicks. The longer this draws out, the higher likelihood he's coming to the Blazers

    Yes.

    They really thought that they were going to win a championship that year. They had just acquired Dwight Howard, and to get knocked out in the first round by a team that they thought was going to be a push over..... they have been bitter ever since.

    I'm hoping New York hardball's Carmelo. I could see New York and Olshey having agreed to a trade package today. New York needs to give Carmelo two choices, those being go to Portland and contend, or stay in New York and play less while they develop younger players. I think New York would do this because they want Harkless, and this would be a way of pushing him to waive his NTC for Portland.

    I think that's what they're trying to do.

    Anthony Davis is overrated as fuck. Most big guys, with some amount of skill, are. Same with KAT.

    Not sure how I feel about Melo'... I do think playing against the Warriors is very interesting with Melo and Nurk. With just NURK we played them better than most other teams. Replacing all those open Harkless/Aminu shots with Melo? Yes please. Melo 'tries' to defend other stars, at least, I'll give him that. I think it could get pretty interesting especially with our size.

    I know people hate it but:

    Lillard/CJ/Crabbe/Melo/Nurk would be REALLY hard to guard. Nurk is the only poor 3pt shooter and Melo can guard 4s. Could also understand wanting Swanigan/Collins/Vonleh next to Nurk for rebounding and size, but the amount of wide open shots that team would get...astounding. Shooters everywhere. Crabbe isn't the greatest, we know, but he can shoot - and teams respect that. Not gonna let Crabbe bomb away like Harkless or Aminu.

    I think it's funny that Rocket fans think the Knicks are playing us to squeeze them for a better deal, when in fact, it's much more likely Neil was playing them to show their cards so he could make a better offer directly to the Knicks.

    I mean think about it for 0.9 seconds. If you're Neil Olshey, why would you willingly help facilitate a trade that made a conference rival better?

    To me what makes this exciting is that if this goes down, it opens up the door to some real possibilities. What I mean is yes, Melo would be interesting and entertaining to say the least but we could then very well become that destination that good role playing veterans want to sign at. And that could start a trend that could be very beneficial long term. In addition to that it makes us much more attractive to future free agents. It's like Melo would break that damn and I mean that more in the long term sense.

    I may be in the vast minority, but I hope the rockets get Melo. I want to see that trainwreck happen.
