    So all this recent chatter brought on a few phone calls of inquiry. Here is a brief summary:

    [​IMG]

    'Melo won't be back in NY so it's up to him to figure out where he is willing to go. HOU is such a long-shot at this point because they just don't have the pieces that NY wants. There are a couple of other teams interested but POR would seem to be able to put together the best package that would still leave the core in tact and not gut it just to make the exchange thereby making the team a contender.

    When Carmello and his camp finally come to the realization that HOU isn't going to happen, things could happen quite quickly. POR doesn't get much of a chance nationally but they (IMO) have the best shot to put together a deal once HOU being out of the picture becomes a reality.

    Do you think Melo would resign (new contract), opt in, or opt out to go with the boater?

    I don't miss him at all.
    I like @Chupacabra because he showed that when he's wrong, he's not going to keep beating the horse like @Superbeard did.
    Don't ever go full KS @Chupacabra stay as you are and you'll always be welcomed on s2 by myself.

    Personally I think no matter where Melo is he's going to opt in.
    I just don't believe he's going to turn down all that money.
    If he was willing to do that. He'd already be in Houston.

    If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. No sense arguing. Facts are hard to dispute. Everyone has a different opinion. That's one reason I like coming here. You guys are believe you have as much a chance to get Melo as Clutchfans think they have. Its good to get both sides. The truth is usually somewhere in the middle.

    Carmelo will have made roughly 230 million dollars in salary over his career after this upcoming season. I think I saw his first shoe deal after the draft was 6 years, 18 million total. I would think it's safe to say that at least doubled after that deal was over. That gets him at ~280 million on just shoe and salary. Over 14 years, I'd be willing to guess he's added at least 20 million in other endorsement deals. He's made close to 300 million dollars in his career. I don't think that last big 28 million dollar pay day will hold as much value as opting out and potentially playing with friends, or in a better chance of winning(if he were to stay in NY this season).

    That's not even remotely true. We believe we can make a better offer but I don't think anyone here is convinced it will happen.

    My thought is he goes with friends. Money is made. Time to play with friends and see what havoc they can create.

    Sure.
    But I can't ignore the history Melo has shown his entire career. He cares more about the $$ than he does the W.

    Melo will opt in with Portland, then we will sign Lebron with whatever MLE we have available :D.

    Wade will sign to be 6th man for the minimum.

    Cp3 will be the only banana boat guy alone :(
