    We'd have to deal Harkless/Aminu/Davis just to make it work financially.

    I don't think they want Leonard.

    The only person I'd trade Harkless is for Melo. And even then I'm hesitant but it's a necessary move. As a small market team you need another established star like Melo unfortunately.

    I'd do Harkless, Leonard, and Davis, but nothing more.

    Aminu and Melo fit because you can put AFA on the stronger forward and Melo on the weaker forward.

    Could be the best package NYK will get.

    Would NY accept it? I don't know.

    Right. They’ll need to settle for less or keep Melo. Unless Melo convinced POR is good fit for him and his family.

    Big question is would Melo rather play with:

    (a) CP3 and Harden, or
    (b) Dame and CJ (and Nurk)

    I think it's pretty obvious which team he'll choose. Personally I think Portland gives him a better chance to win and a vastly superior supporting cast but I think the lure of playing with two MVP-level players will prevent him from waiving his no-trade clause to come to PDX.

    Nonetheless, it'd be an interesting short term experiment to see if Melo in Portland would work. If nothing else, it would be entertaining - like watching Don Nelson's Warriors teams of the mid-90s that played high tempo and tried to outscore everyone.

    I could also see

    Crabbe, Harkless, Davis, and Napier for Carmelo and Lee.

    The "H" in H-Town stands for Hepatitis D (yes, they are so disgusting, they accidentally invented a new type of hepatitis).

    I don't think the choices are Houston and Portland. It's Portland or New York. Then it becomes a little more interesting.

    I wonder how Melo would feel being the 5th most popular Blazer?

    1. Lillard

    2A. CJ

    2B. Nurkic

    4. With the heart and hustle Swanigan is showing he's going to become a huge fan favorite.

    That leaves 5th place for Melo. LMA couldn't handle playing 2nd fiddle to Lillard, I wonder how Melo's ego would do?

    IDK. Depends how bad he wants out without getting to HOU. I hope he’s open to coming here ...
