    This is just speculation imo. I’m not a big Harkless fan, but to be fair, his body language is no different than before. He’s just not playing well.

    Harkless is a much better defender, and just as good of a shooter as Carmelo, trading him for Carmelo would be a travesty. /Dviss

    this thread will break the record of the other Melo thread....Sly just wanted in on some of that action!....it will morph into multiple unrelated subjects and several long arguments ........

    Imagine all these good looking shots for Dame CJ and Nurkic if Melo would play for us. Portlands offense would be so much better with him

    So, were like the fat, ugly 4th bridesmaid that everyone makes fun of until they've had way too much to drink and have already been shot down by bridesmaids 1 - 3.

    In other words, we're the Melissa McCarthy of the NBA.

    So, what C.J., was really saying was, "Carmelo won't help us, but he won't make us any worse."

    I'm sorry.
    But if Melo was on the Blazers. We'd be a better team.

    Well, having Carmelo might've added some wins, but I doubt it would've moved them to top 2. So technically, he's correct?

    I'd trade for Melo this summer (as long as we send out Turner & Meyers)

    How many bullets has Olshey dodged by trades not happening or offers being matched by other teams? Too many.

    At least he can draft.

    Melo was complete trash this season and at 34, it's likely all downhill from here at this point. He posted a PER of 12.7 and a VORP of -1.1. That's terrible production at $6 million per season let alone $26 million.

    I'd rather have Leonard and Turner's contracts at this point. At least they know their roles and aren't primadonnas.
