    Harkless will be back on this road trip to do what? Too get injured again or too disappear?

    I am willing to see what the Layman/Harkless pairing a good look. You may be right though. If he gets injured or disappears, it doesn't mean much.

    I don’t see anything wrong with giving Harkless/Layman a look, but I wouldn’t pass on the opportunity to add Melo either. It’s not like we’re cutting one of those two to make room. I also don’t see anything wrong with improving not only the talent, but the depth of the team, especially when you factor in Moes knee. I’m not banking on that thing holding up.

    He could go to the Bayi Rockets and not have to change his letter head or get new pens?

    That right there is a big part of the argument. Hark is a gamble for both his knee and his attitude. If we knew for a fact he is returning soon and will be the player he was late last season, we don't need Melo. If Hark is hurt or pouting again - the temptation to dance with the devil grows stronger.

    If Dame wants Melo then I'm with it. Otherwise, nah. No reason to risk team chemistry. This team won't win a title based on Melo joining or not.

    So I’m hiding out in the lobby trying to get that blurry Melo pic..... no luck. But who does The HCP run into? That’s right..... none other than the restaurateur himself..... Babu Bhatt!
    Said he reads the forum all the time just to see The HCP’s latest hottest take on all things Blazers!

    I wonder if Olshey has run this by Dame. Because if he has, I don’t see a scenario where Dame said no thanks. I think the bigger question is whether the team is willing to add to the tax they’re already paying. Since they don’t project to be repeat offenders, I think they may have the ok (something that was probably decided before Allen died)

    I didn’t say anything about Melo, from what I can tell. But it’s still something that runs through my mind.

    Talent takes you so far. Chemistry and makeup takes you that next step. Just ask my 2010 Giants.... and 2012.... and 2014.

    And ask every Dodgers team for the last 6-7 years....

    I don't know the exact numbers but the Tickets have something like the 5th best defense with Melo off the floor and they have the worst defense with him on.
