    Here's the Mike & Mike audio with Woj: http://www.espn.com/espnradio/play?id=20311897

    Starts talking about 40 seconds in. I'll paraphrase

    "NY and HOU re-engaged in the last few days. They need a 3rd team, because NY doesn't want Ryan Anderson. Maybe need 2 other teams. Right now, Melo only waiving his NTC for HOU. Scott Perry tried to get Melo back in NY, but Melo doesn't have interest. Team to watch is POR-- it's become a recruiting league. James Harden played a role in getting CP3 to HOU, similarly CJ and Dame have made progress piquing Melo's interest in POR. If POR can put together a package that can intrigue NY, this is a possibility. CJ is in NY now was on video yesterday playing pickup with Melo and these two have made legit in-roads on convincing Melo of POR as a possible destination. That team with Melo/CJ/Dame/and Nurk is as good as any team in the west outside of GS. Portland is becoming a team at the top of his list outside of HOU. Melo's contract would cost in nearly $100 mil in luxury tax for two years and Paul Allen is willing to pay that. But that contract isn't for everyone in this league."

    We were only joking a month back but this melodrama (see what I did there?!?) really is going to go on for another month, isn't it? This dude is going to wait until the last minute for Houston and then waive his NTC right before training camp.

    If CJ can recruit stars, I will reverse my position on trading him. We need that kind of good salesmanship!

    just listened to the Woj bit. Sounding like Portland is becoming more and more real. All CJ really has to do now is send Melo a highlight mix of Nurkic and it'll be a done deal imo.

    If a trade for Melo happens, regardless if we are involved or not, and someone creates a new thread about it, they should be banned for a month.

    If Carmelo does come to Portland, the forum owes me a big apology for my "Carmelo Anthony to Portland" thread.

    If we do get him this should be the only thread we can talk about him in.

    You should have never wanted to trade him in the first place. Even more important than recruiting other stars is keeping the ones we have that actually want to play here.

    It's not necessarily wanting to trade him, it's more like if you had two high performance sports cars, but you have a kid and you need a bigger ride so you sell one of your sports cars and buy a REALLY nice SUV.

    CJ is a likeable dude. Having him get out there and play with Melo could really be huge.
