    The Bulls might make the Knicks an offer on this one too..Rose needs a change of scenery and they have some pieces to move that might work for Phil..Taj Gibson, Rose and change

    Would the Mavs or Rockettes make sense?

    What makes the Blazers culture so different from other teams? This isn't going to church. I want to see a championship!

    Our culture right now is young, hungry, and willing to work hard. Melo is none of those things.

    Good point and he'd probably thrive under Stotts system, I just don't think he's a good fit for the culture and will demand the ball too much win or lose

    Maybe it was Chauncey Billups who took them to the WCF that year? You don't know!

    depending on the deal, I'd be ok with Melo coming here. But I can't imagine what deal would be worth it, and I wouldn't do it without Melo signing off on being a Blazer, which won't happen ever.

    If Melo played like he does for team USA he's a game changer and a winner. Even though I don't like him, he does come to play for team USA everytime with success

    23, 24, 26, 28 million per year over the next 4 for Melo.
    Interesting that the Knicks only have the 27th highest payroll in the league. (We are at #30)
    Trading Melo to us for cap space would give the Zen Master a lot of options next year. With his ego I am sure he feels he could lure some top free agents.

    But like you have all said, would Melo agree to come here? Plus I believe Denver holds the rights to their pick, so I doubt they want to trade Melo now. I am sure Phil is just testing the waters.

    Not a big fan of Melo in recent years. But......he's got a ton of talent.

    I'd agree as long as it was for minor returning players and most, if not all, our cap space.
    Lillard - Henderson - Melo - Leonard - Plumlee is a probable playoff team in West.

    I think Melo primarily plays the four spot now.

    Lillard - Henderson - Aminu - Melo - Leonard
