The super Melo to Portland thread + The Big Blockbuster

Here we go again

 

NY does not want any part of Houstons shitty player package and neither does the rest of the league. If it hasn't happened yet, it's not going to happen. Teams are not going to wake up and say ya know, I do want to cripple my teams future with Ryan Andersons contract.

 

Maybe KP is so butthurt he'll get Indy involved to make sure Portland can't get him. I mean, given the allegations that he turned down our 3 first rounders for Paul George over the package he did take....

 

This has played out before, involving two of the current principles (if we count Portland a principle in this case). Pippen demanded a trade out of Houston and the Lakers wanted to trade for him and Pippen wanted to go to LA, due to Phil Jackson. But they (obviously) took Shaq and Kobe off the table and Houston wasn't interested in the players (like Glen Rice) being offered.

In the end, no deal could be arranged with LA and Portland swooped in and got the deal done.

Obviously, the main difference here is that Pippen didn't have a no-trade clause. So the end result isn't necessarily going to be similar. But just because two teams (and the player involved) are motivated to make a deal doesn't mean they will inevitably find a way to make it work.

 

That one might have to air on cable.

 

Haha, sorry bro, forgot to respond... have exams I have to study for. No time for fantasy football this year.

 

Then no Melo to Portland and you're the one to blame!!!

 

CJ is workin it!

 

CJ is making a hell of a brand for himself.....he's fearless about his career....best salesman we could wish for. Way to represent! I think he likes the challenge...it's like beating Duke when playing for Lehigh....beat the Rockets and Cavs to the punch

 

I'm pretty agnostic on the whole Melo situation. If we get him, we get him. If we don't, we don't.

With so many player bailing on their teams - KD bailing on OKC, CP3 bailing on the Clippers, PG13 bailing on IND, Melo bailing on the Knicks, etc., it REALLY make me appreciate what we have in Dame and C.J. - two great players and great character guys who WANT to be here.

BNM

 

I think he'd thrive with Stotts system....really thrive....as I've said...he's had 5 coaches and 4 GMs in NY......probably not spent a lot of time around intelligent players like CJ......he's been around some knuckleheads...I know he's a great player from the Olympics....he'd be Stotts version of Dirk and we know how that worked out.....I'm at the point where if it costs Mo and Meyers....I'd take the risk and let Swanigan take Mo's minutes.

 

Seriously....how many fucking things can they have to say at this point? Are you sure that you're sure that you're sure you're sure that you don't want Ryan Anderson?

 

It's gonna end up being Portland or New York. Anything else would be a shock imo.

 

How? The Rockets have NOTHING to offer.

Their bench is already depleted. You think Anderson and WhatsHisFace who shoots free-throws underhand will get it done?

 

Lmao.

 

This dude has a month to figure out he's not going to go to Houston and still has a chance to be on a playoff team, do you think he'll figure this out?

 

Wrong thread bruh.
