    But I'm sure his agent has. I get your point though. If he's so adamant he should take a pay cut and agree to a buyout. Let's see how bad he wants to go to Houston.

    Lol, zombie tweet.

    Nearly two and a half months later and HOU still hasn't found a taker for their shit. Maybe it's HOU that never had a chance.

    Morey blew his wad on the CP3 trade, probably overpaid. Now he's left with nothing anyone else wants. The cupboard is bare.

    IMHO, Morey blew any chance he had at Carmelo when he overpaid for Chris Paul back in June. I don't think Carmelo was on his radar at the time.

    If you read his comments at the time of the CP3 trade, he specifically said he wanted to complete that trade as soon as possible (i.e. before July 1) so CP3 could help recruit free agents to HOU.

    Carmelo Anthony isn't a free agent.

    Morey specifically mentioned free agents because he knew he had nothing of any value left to trade.

    Then the whole Carmelo thing fell in his lap and he was left holding his dick and trying to convince someone, anyone, to take Ryan Anderson and his hideous contract off his hands.

    The Morey fanbois on the cuckfans forum think he's a god and can do no wrong, but I think he fucked this one up by overpaying for CP3 and not retaining sufficient assets to land a third member of a Big 3 to go with his superstar backcourt.

    That's also where the cuckfans crowd underestimates the potential appeal of Carmelo to Portland. With the addition of Nurkic, we already have a Big 3 in place. Dame and C.J. may be a little behind Harden and CP3, but the difference isn't significant enough to overcome the fact that HOU doesn't have anyone close to Nurkic.

    Right now, HOU's third best player is a toss up between Ryan Anderson, the guy NOBODY wants, and Eric Gordon, a guard who will see less playing time this season due to the addition of CP3.

    If Melo comes to POR, we will have a legit Big 4 (and HOU will be stuck with their Big 2). Also, our current Big 3 are much younger than HOU's Big 2. Long term, Melo would be better off coming to POR where his younger teammates will continue to improve as he ages, rather than going to HOU where his older teammates will decline in parallel with him.

    I find it disrespectful Melo is taking this long to realize what we have here is a good situation.

    You have Damian Lillard and Cj McCollum that want to play with you and he's still sweating the rockets? Fuck this guy.
