    This could also be a powerplay to force Houston to give up key pieces.

    Capela and/or Gordon.

    I'm fine with it either way. Either they don't get Melo and are stuck with a butt hurt Ryan Anderson, or they overpay to get Melo and are probably still stuck with a butt hurt Ryan Anderson.

    Why trade for Capela when they have Hernangomez? I think Gordon has 0 value because he's too old, they already have Courtney Lee with 3 year remaining, and just signed Hardaway to be their SGotf.

    They need a SF to replace Melo. Harkless is from their and meshes well with their other pieces. I think they'd want Harkless more than Capela or Gordon. HOU can't give up a pick till 2020 either.

    They'd also value Napier, as Ntilikina is their only PG right now, and Napier is from the region as well.

    Defensively that would be a layup drill though. I would NOT start Crabbe in that lineup.

    Or any lineup...

    Crabbe's already way too passive. I can't see him getting many shots with Dame, C.J., Melo and Nurk on the floor. And if Crabbe ain't shooting, he's useless.

    I think starting either of Vonleh or Swanigan at the 4 next to Melo at the 3 makes more sense. Vonleh gives us solid defense and rebounding. Swanigan gives us rebounding, good passing and the ability to make an open shot.

    Watch Melo finally agrees and the trade is executed...then Adam Silver Vetoes it with some excuse about parity in the NBA.

    If Carmelo's reaction to Dame/CJ was negative, I don't think they would've bothered going into detail of how he would actually help the squad. CJ seemed downright giddy. Maybe they're just trolling, or Melo was just being nice, but I actually think we have a chance.

    While I like Dame and CJ campaigning for Melo...how will Harkless and other rumored Portland players feel if/when this trade never actually happens?
