    Whatever any Blazer fan may hope for in this player, the truth is he controls where he wants to go and Portland will not be the place.

    he has a no trade clause, but he controls shit, he has no leverage
    he can say whatever he wants, but NYK can keep him if they want to

    Carmelo aint opting out, and it will be what NYK wants

    I have to disagree here with the bolded.
    Rockets have shown to have nothing for GSW. Har_en has been less than.
    Some Rocket fans argue it's because the NBA doesn't want anyone to dethrone the media darling Warriors.
    Or that the NBA has it out for the Rockets and is purposely blocking the trade.(both things I saw on CF forums by multiple posters before I got ip banned)
    Where Lillard & CJ for two years running have shown that with basically no offensive talent around them. They can at the very least be competitive.
    I don't think adding Melo to either squad gives you a better chance at knocking off the Warriors. Frankly Melo doesn't even push it to 6 games.
    Both Blazers and Rockets would be eliminated at most in 5 with Melo.

    You be the best you can be. Injuries can happen at any time. The better your team is, the better chance you have, and luck, injuries, etc, just might swing your way. If we're going to hand a championship trophy out based on rosters, why play the game?

    True. Warriors only have 2 titles because of injuries.

    "Injuries", or "Draymond Green being an unsportsmanlike clown poseur". Happily for the league, you can count on one of those being repeated every year.

    Some people want Swanigan to be like Green. I'm hoping there is no ball kicking.

    I don't like to kick people in the balls (intentionally), cuz that's messed up, but I love watching videos of dudes catching heat in the junk.

    You must have been a big America's Funniest Home Videos fan back in the day. It seemed like about 75% of their submissions was dad taking one in the nads, either a football, wiffle ball bat, pinata stick, etc. If not for nut shots that show would have never existed.

    That's right. If Love and Kyrie were not injured that first year, they would have only 1.
