Trade for Carmelo?

  1. Hell yes - I'd give up Lillard for him!

  2. Sure, so long as we're not giving up Lillard, McCollum or Nurkic

    Lillard and McCollum obviously disagree.

    Because they know player personnel? Just cause they play?

    Has anyone changed their mind on this since the off-season? Our supporting cast has looked really good so far. And Carmelo would have probably squeezed Turner/Harkless out of minutes. Both of those guys play good defense, and Carmelo is not known for that.

    He may have demanded his shots as well, which I don't think would fit in too well with this team. The real key to this team is defense, because the offense is already good enough.

    I have. We’re much better off without Melo in my opinion.

    With Harkless struggling on offense, I can only imagine Melo taking those shots. But Mo maybe plays better D and is better for the long game.
