    In 15 season, Carmelo's career best DBPM is 0.0 - one time. The other 14 seasons he's had a negative DBPM. It's been especially bad, even by his standards, for the last 5 or 6 years.

    And now he no longer has the offensive game to compensate for his shitty defense.

    As frustratingly inconsistent as he is, today, right now, Moe Harkless is a better player, at both ends of the court, than Carmelo Anthony. He's also 9 years younger, and will be making $10.8 million this coming season, compared to Carmelo's $27.9 million. No way in hell do I want Carmelo Anthony anywhere near this team. That would definitely be a case of subtraction by addition.

    Anything other than a cheese sandwich is too much for Al Jefferson, C'mon man! The Kawhi Leonard trade was the ONLY trade of merit IMO. Sorry dude.

    Melo is an underrated defender? Cmon dude...

    Love had one good defensive possession. Doesn't make him a good defender..

    Well it says:

    Don't like these trades or think you might have some better ideas for the Blazers? Use the ESPN Trade Machine to come up with some possible moves for Portland. Then throw your own thoughts and submissions in the comments section and we'll do another roundup of trade ideas later in the month that feature some of your ideas.

    The trade machine is broken, it doesn't register traded player exceptions correctly.

    The Origionian sports dept. SELF PROCLAIMED "EXPERTS" are too dumb/lazy to come with a trade idea that makes any sense. Please do our job for us so we keep recieving paychecks.

    Hate to say it but I’d take Blake Griffin. He has a little bit of edge does a little bit of everything and could take some pressure off Dame and C.J offensively.

    Sure, but not for the package they suggested (CJ and a first). If you deal for Blake, it's to add him to the existing core.

    CJ for Blake is beyond dumb.

    I wouldn't even do that. Kawhi would be gone and wouldn't make us contenders.

    I like Griffin but it would take a true gambler to take a Griffin for CJ deal. Can we call Trader Bob?

    The true gamble is holding onto CJ too long so has value goes down as he gets older with less potential and higher salary
