    I just kinda feel like we've been waiting on this Melo situation to resolve itself. The moves don't feel complete yet.

    I told you dudes he was coming here for my birthday, and that's pretty close at this point.

    Definitely A.

    I'm not ready to give up on the guy we took with the 10th pick in a very deep draft before we even see him play one minute of NBA basketball for what could end up being a one year rental of Carmelo Anthony.

    Mcintyre now saying Melo is going to have to choose between Portland and staying in New York.

    Me too--just checking. You were saying that getting Melo without giving up Harkless (or any of the big 3, of course) would be a massive coup, but it seemed to me that there would be worse options. I'm glad to see you agree.

    A and it's not even close. I don't want to give up Turner after dumping Crabbe for nothing.... unless we're getting something else back from NY.

    So if it's Harkless/Meyers/Davis for Melo.

    Maybe do the TPE for Lee?

    Dame/Turner/Bazz
    CJ/Lee/Pat
    Melo/Layman
    Aminu/Vonleh/Swanigan
    Nurk/Collins

    I see Melo and Aminu as interchangeable so it doesn't really matter who is at which forward spot. In some situations you start Melo at the three and Aminu at the four, in some situations you switch them. In some situations you might start Melo with Vonleh.

    Tired of these cries of wolf. Melo ain't worth this much discussion/deliberation, especially with training camp around the corner.

    Yes, it's almost impossible to construct a defense to stop a guy holding the ball for the entire shot clock

    Look, we gotta get these guys from NY:

    Melo, O'Quinn.

    Is getting Lee smart? We just signed Morrow.

    Lee is a much better defender than Morrow while he still hits 3s at a respectable clip.

    If it happens, it might not work out - but it would certainly get me excited for the season to find out!

    This is my thinking as well. I don't think it will get the Blazers to the next level, but it would be fun, good or bad

    Agree. It'll definitely provide a boost in the excitement level for the upcoming season and get us talked about more nationally & globally.
