    I love this because of the complete idiocy, from clutchfans:

    "The Cavs at least makes sense. Portland still makes ZERO sense. But what can the Cavs offer? That 1st rounder is worth way more than Melo. I wouldn't trade Love for Melo."

    The cavs make sense, but they can't offer anything.

    lol. Makes sense, champ.

    They are easily the most delusional fanbase I have ever seen.

    It's been NY or Portland since July and NY made that clear yesterday when they said they expect Melo at training camp. If he says no to Portland, he stays in NY. I tried to explain this to Clutchfans months ago and they flipped out.

    I'm 100% for Melo IF we don't include Collins/Swanigan.

    If I'm Dame and CJ, I'm having a hard time not taking this personally though.

    Melo is basically saying that he'd rather play with Russ/PG13 or LeBron/Love/IT.

    Does anyone else think opening his list up first to two more teams (HOU being the first) that can't offer the Knicks shit for Carmelo actually works in the Blazers favor?

    The Knicks best offer from HOU was Ryan Anderson - too old, injury prone, plays same position as Porzingis, grotesquely overpaid with three more years left on his contract.

    CLE won't give up that tasty draft pick they got from the Celtics because they know they will need it to start their rebuild when LeBron jumps ship. They have NOTHING else that a rebuild team wants. While Kevin Love is better than Ryan Anderson, he's also too old to for their timeline and also plays the same position as Porzingis.

    OKC is the most pathetic of the three. The only hope they have of even matching salaries are Kanter and Adams - who play the same position as Porzingis and Hernangomez, the two cornerstones of NYK's rebuilding effort. OKC already lacks depth. So anything they give up further guts an already severely gutted team. Plus, it's fucking Cow Town USA.

    Maybe this was the plan all all along. Carmelo is smart and wants to win. If it's obvious no one else can offer shit, it will give Neil more leverage to give up as little as possible. This may make it possible to include Meyers Leonard as part of the package (centered around Harkless) instead of other assets Neil would rather keep.

    Who knows, but at the very least, seeing what the other three teams can (or more accurately cannot) offer only makes the Portland package look that much more attractive. Scott Perry isn't Kevin "Bitter" Pritchard. He will do everything possible to get the best package he can for his team, and he knows now, more than ever, that Portland can easily blow anything the others can offer completely out of the water.

    I really think this is going to happen and it's going to happen soon. And when it does, I can't wait to hear the HOU fans cry and bitch about how little POR had to give up to get him (as if they ever even had a chance).

    Some people are saying that Melo is just trying to see if there's any other options before opening it up to Portland. He knows as soon as he puts Portland on the list, the trade is done.

    Anyone notice we haven't gotten a single quote from Melo these last 2 months? I think he's been very professional and respectful in his handling of this.
