    Didn't it get old playing the Washington Generals 82 times in a row?

    I appreciate you trying to help this become the #1 replied thread...

    I think he's implying that Melo should be on one of the big 3 teams because he's old and stiff just like everyone else in that league. :P

    This feels like the week that decisions will have to be made by the Blazers. I think NO has been holding off making his final roster adjustments up until now, waiting for this Carmelo thing to play out. But now he has to decide what to do with Connaughton by Thursday and there's only a month until camp. Seems like time to poop or get off the pot. Might this be the week that finally sees this thread die?

    Nope. He'll renegotiate a new "cut by" date with Connaughton and we keep going.

    No sleep til Melo.

    I was thinking the same thing, but I think it's getting too close to camp for Pat to agree to that. If he still has NBA aspirations, he needs to catch on with a team.

    He may not have realistic aspirations with another team. His strategy may be, "Hang on with the Blazers as long as possible and, if they don't find someone better, I might get another season."

    I don't know. Maybe he thinks he'd catch on with another team--if so, then yeah, a new cut-by date isn't realistic.

    Now that Crabbe's been traded, it could be that the Blazers will just sign Pat to a reasonable contract and hold off on any other moves.

    Top current thread on Clutchfans:

    "If we strike out on Carmelo Anthony, is keeping Ryan Anderson really THAT bad???"

    Is this the bargaining phase ("Okay, maybe we won't get Melo, but Anderson's not bad, right?") or the acceptance phase of grief?

    I don't. With all the "bump" posts, this thread will need 12 asterisks.

    Fake record. SAD!!

    This thread needs another Woj shot in the arm by saying we're still trying and he's not 100% against the idea.

    Is re-signing olshey the next domino in the Melo situation to fall?

    Would you want your GM to slack because they are more interested in working out their contract extension? (I don't think that is the case...)

    There, I've done my part.
