The super Melo to Portland thread + The Big Blockbuster

He's not coming here, move on.

 

Is this a serious question? He played 336 games for Portland. This love affair with the former Timberwolf needs to end.

 

hmmm first post, negative

houston fan undercover? with the name "nurkicisgod" to throw us off


THEORIES

GAY FROGS

 

In all honesty though it just feels like this wont happen. I want it too but we always get the shit end of the stick when it comes to getting certain players

 

...if for no other reason, I want to see Meyers deal with the New York fanbase/media

 

The more it drags, the more I feel this could become a real possibility. Melo knows he won't make playoffs at Knicks so he may as well accept a trade here and play out his final year of contract before eventually moving to play with one of his mates next year.

 

So he is coming?

 

idk I think I only posted three times?
One of which I enjoyed because a rocket fan laughed when I posted lillard hitting the shot over parsons. Was something like. 'omg you have one post on that account from x join date, and it's of that shot! lol'
I don't really remember the other two lol. Can't go back and look either. Oh well.

 

Someone who is talented, needs to post .9 on CF after it is confirmed Melo is coming to the Blazers but this time put Melo's face on the basketball.

Also maybe something like Its Melo time Flashing above when Lillard spins around(or as the basketball goes in the hoop) and then Welcome to Portland Carmelo Anthony.

Anyways, you guys are the wizards with all that so I know it will be good regardless.

 

I think trade with HOU will happen, they will find 3rd team to facilitate the trade
you can always find stupid GM to make a bad move

 

Agreed....I just don't see that happening and he isn't likely to expand his no trade clause to many other teams that have the young pieces to do any better. Ironically, the possibility here for POR is they get him almost by default because no one else can or he doesn't want to go there more than he doesn't want to come here.

 

OT: From Kenny Anderson's Twitter feed... a great pic of 3 Portland PGs:

 

Which team in the league wants to trade young assets for Ryan Anderson?

 

it's plausible they do not want EG/Ariza. I get it. I never said it would be a 2 team deal. Someone says the Rox do not have anything the knicks want. I said the rox have stuff, but won't trade it.
Which leaves the 3rd team as the most probable if the Rox get melo.

2 1st, Ariza, AND Gordon is to expensive. I'm sure of that. I am not good with hypothetical trades, because I do not know other teams players that well. So I am not going to propose one. I could use trade machine to make the money right, but player value would be off. A 3 by any other name is not a 3.

I agree Portland has better trade assests. Easy to say. The catch for portland is the NTC. Melo is in the twlight of his career. If he is hoping to go to Houston, which he has stated, why would he say he would except a portland deal to blazers and sabatoge the negotiations? Your response will probable be either
"He wants to go to Portland" or "He doesn't want to go to Houston?" Then why not just open up the NTC now and go? why fiddle with Houston any more?

Does he have time to play in portland while the team gets better around him?
You argued Hou has 2 of the greatest all-time chokers and a choker of a coach. You might even argue Melo is a choker for rarely making the playoffs, (not olympic melo). That said, Rox with Melo have a better chance of beating GSW than Portland with Melo.

 

Monday is the Knicks media day. Interesting to see Melo shows up

 

If I were the Knicks, I would
(a) hope that Melo refuses to come to camp, because then you don't have to pay him, or failing that
(b) sit Melo until he waives his no-trade clause. There is no way in hell I'd trade him to Houston for scraps.

 

"IF"
