    Time would tell. If Melo could take us to a title (yes, I know, it seems impossible), then clearly the answer would be yes. Let's not forget that Pippen joined a team that had been in the previous season's Western Conference Finals, and then took the team to the Western Conference Finals. He was good, but he disappeared just like the rest in the 4th quarter.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    To be fair, he was playing with injured fingers on his shooting hand in that game.

    We're just going to see a video if Carmelo dribbling around a chair and then dunking over CJ.

    Here's a question that's certainly deserving of it's own thread...but then there are more than enough Melo threads around here:

    If the Blazers were able to acquire Carmelo from the Knicks, would we all of a sudden garner respect from the media and NBA officials for having a bona-fide superstar on our team???

    This probably wouldn't work, but I was thinking this might be the best (or only) reason to do the deal. It feels like we would gain some respect and some air time that could improve the impression of the team and area.

    Although, I would say right now that all the churning going on with Melo is doing more damage than anything else.

    Yes. But then the media would have a field day shitting on Portland when Melo opts out of his contract next summer.

    They'd be making about the same money.

    If we could somehow get Lee and give Chicago Turner, that'd be great. Or keep Crabbe. Turner would be a bad fit with Wade, and we'd have 4 ball handling wings without ET.

    At UCLA. There are some video clips of him playing with Kyrie.

    Disagree.

    Please refer to a previous post I made to a poster who liked your post for my answer.

    Look at Meyers getting his ass kicked lmao. Hopefully Melo doesn't know who he is, or that he's not in our rotation.

    Sure, but I assume that Chicago has zero interest in Turner. If they did, Lee probably wouldn't even need to be involved.

    Yeah, I read that. So you feel like overworking our prized trade acquisition until his other leg falls off? Yeah, no thanks.

    What did you read exactly? I will need to know to give an appropriate response.

    I wholeheartedly disagree. I think this would eventually wear Nurk out and lead to injury. Crabbe and Melo are horrible defenders. And you want to add both of them to the starting lineup? If you were coaching, Nurk would be running around out there like a chicken with its head cut off.

    Do you think Melo would be a bit better defender if he knew he didn't have to score 30+ to give his team a chance to win?
    I'm not sure.
    KD certainly realized it when he joined the Warriors... However KD was a pretty decent defender in OKC. So idk.

    Starting Crabbe is such a poor move for Portland.
