    Melo rocks a grey hoodie as he works out all the time is what I believe he is talking about.

    Yes. And when CJ and Melo were playing ball together the other day, Melo had his hoodie on.

    If you see him, approach him and tell him you're a Rockets fan. It could be just the incentive he needs to add Portland to his list of desired destinations.

    Well, that clearly can't be the case. If it's a thousand years from now, what with global warming, we'd all be rooting for a water polo team.

    I wonder if our lack of Turkish restaurants is going to be a deciding factor?

    El Pres can wear his Harden Thunder jersey and you can wear your Harden custom Lakers jersey.

    Haha! I might actually register for that.

    It should be timed though. Everyone should get their post ready, and then fire away at a designated time.

    Like, 0900 hours :)

    Nine seconds after midnight would be perfect. That's 00:09 in military time.

    I got called a stupid bitch because I think Melo's overrated yet I defended him from people hating on him for not opening up his NTC.

    Would you give up Harkless + first & maybe Collins for 1 year of Melo?

    Not Collins. NYK isn't in position to bargain. And who else would we trade out in that deal? The salaries don't match.

    The deal I'd want is Harkless, Davis, Vonleh, Napier, Layman, and Connaughton for Anthony, O'Quinn, and Lee (TPE). I think that makes sense for both sides. NYK gets valuable young pieces in Harkless and Vonleh, and could take a flier on Napier, Layman, and Connaughton. Davis is expiring. They'd have apx. $45M in cap space next year to add talent around Porzingas, Hardaway, Harkless Ntilikina, Vonleh, and Hernangomez. That's a pretty good start to a rebuild.

    The other trade I'd try is Harkless, Leonard, Davis, and a 2018 1st for Anthony and Lee. Sheds Meyers contract and if Anthony doesn't return it saves us about $8M next year, without losing a rotation player in the end(Harkless and Lee are rotation players, while Leonard and Davis aren't needed). Next year's draft isn't that special so losing the pick doesn't matter either.

    We could still be good by using our full MLE to sign a SF. Vonleh, Swanigan, and Collins would also be a year further in their development.

    Harkless + Pat + Collins + Davis + future protected first vs Melo
    I've always liked Lee a lot + it's a position of need for Portland. TPE vs Lee & the protections come off that pick.

    Maybe I'm giving up too much idk

    I wouldn't give them Collins. They already have Porzingis and Hernangomez as their power forward and center of the future. So, it's not like they NEED Collins.
