    Good. *Sigh of relief
    Dodged this bullet, now see if we can trim the roster without getting a washed up has-been in return. Would be happy if we could somehow turn Aminu, Davis, maybe another forward, to bring a 3rd combo guard behind Dame and CJ

    Was a notification on my phone from the ESPN app, but here's the most up to date link from RealGM: https://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/246960/Carmelo-Anthony-Wont-Waive-No-Trade-For-Blazers

    Yeah--I got the ESPN notification too, but it was just Begley parroting what Woj had said Monday. No way to know the timeline of Woj's sources' info vs Dame/CJ's attempts to sway him. This most recent report is neither new information nor in any way concrete.

    gotcha, notification said Woj I thought. But it was at 530 in the morn when I saw it. Coulda misread.

    Begley is pretty plugged in with MSG and their workings. Wouldn't dismiss his input altogether.

    Normally I wouldn't, if he actually said that he'd received information directly from his own sources within the past day or two. But this isn't that, so I'm still waiting for new info.

    F5, F5, F5...

    Well it ate up some offseason down time and was probably a diverisionary tactic from the start.......I'd say Dame and CJ are building the Blazer brand slowly but surely...love Dame's shoutout to Nurk as a selling point....Melo doesn't get it...no problem, come trade deadline we'll have more options than we have now anyway...

    I just hope these two don't get disenchanted.

    Anthony Davis is my pipedream for the trade deadline.

    It time to move on from Anthony and check out any other team that be willing to trade with or just stand pat. But if Houston calls see if we would help them to get Anthony you tell them I don't thank so. More likely Melo will be stuck with the Knicks this year.

    Me too. And it's not even close. Love fits better with our offense, he's not a ball stopper, without looking at stats I'm pretty sure he's a better 3 point shooter, he plays marginally better defense (IMO), he's less likely to be a malcontent/more likely to embrace playing in Portland, I think he's less selfish, he's on a longer deal, he's younger, he's a good rebounder.....

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Short of trading both Lillard and Nurkic, there's no package Portland can create to tempt New Orleans. And even that package probably wouldn't tempt them this far from his free agency.

    The only way I could ever imagine them trading him was coming up on the last year of his contract, and he would have to pull a PG and tell them he wasn't going to re-sign. Davis doesn't strike me as the type to do that.

    This is the era of the NBA super teams. Dame and CJ don't want to stand pat. They want to win now and you also have to keep your franchise players happy.

    I can't believe that nut job is on the Rockets forum being the "voice" of the Blazers fans. Good Lord. Almost as bad as when you here a national report say,"Blazers Insider Jason Quick'!
