    If you watch the video, it's clear that the media made the comments into more than they were.

    You are probably right. Media loves spinning anything can to make it newsworthy. With that said, Im sure we can all agree Melo will opt to not want to come to PDX.

    The tricky thing about this situation is Cleveland and Houston have nothing the knicks want and pieces Houston would be dumb to part with. We do have pieces. To me it seems he either stays in New York or comes to Portland. Who knows though maybe morey fucks houston even more and goes for the hail mary.

    The only pieces that Houston really has is Ariza/Gordon/Capela.

    If they trade those pieces, they have zero bench. That team would be too old and not really talented enough to win anything, and Houston knows it. That's why they need us.

    And here's the other thing, Gordon and Ariza are worthless to NY, so they would need to trade those players to another team. And maybe that's what Neil is aiming for? I don't know.

    I think this is what is occurring; they
    Gonna get worked defensively no matter who we put as the 5th person in that lineup, in my opinion, it's more about how offensively gifted that lineup would be (and fun to watch.)

    Crabbe, even if he isn't shooting, will still be guarded on the perimeter because he shot 44% from 3 last season, so the defense won't help off of him, giving Dame/CJ/Melo/Nurk all more room to operate. You also cannot cheat off of Dame, CJ, Melo for obvious reasons, and Nurk is in the post. That is a LOT of spacing. And if they did cheat off of Crabbe, I'm sure he would actually shoot - given that the one time he does shoot is when he is wide open. Also, Crabbe + Nurk played pretty well together...

    Swanigan is closest, in my opinion, to making me change that opinion. I'm not sold on Vonleh much more than I am Meyers. And I'd rather have shooting than Vonleh. Vonleh doesn't make the game easier for everyone on offense or defense... where he still struggles. He is like a slightly smarter BBIQ wise Meyers..too much thinking

    Thanks Nate! (I don't like dogging on it after just my first time there, but man, that place is a MESS. Posts all over the place, and numerous threads on the same topic.)

    Thank you, Denny
    Thank you, Sly
    Thank you, all the other mods
    It is very nice here.....

    Reddit is a different animal. It is a great source of information.

    The people who post there are usually quick to post the latest news, tweets, etc.

    You will not find the same kind of substantive posts that you'll find here though.

    I've only used Reddit for the nba streams (which are awesome). I'll check around the site more. Good info to know. Thx again...

    Just kidding... I think Love but I'm not sure... I like that we can play anthony at the 3. If we get love and our rookies become good we'd have a logjam at the PF spot

    ESPN put out an update from Woj this morning saying Melo won't come to POR.

    That's it.
