    If he isn't traded before the Knicks media day, it will be a shit show. Awkward for everyone.

    Would that actually happen in Portland? In case you haven't heard, Nate McMillan s no longer our coach. Our current coach runs a flow offense with lots of ball movement, and not an all ISO all the time offense.

    I know that's how Melo played in NY, but it's not how he played in DEN or how he's played with Team USA.

    Yeah he is a much better defender buuuuut 12 Mil? Is he gonna play 6th man? That's a lot for a role guy.

    I think bringing Melo in, at worst, cleans up our salary issues as long as we keep our big 3+ Collins... Question is what would your rotation be?

    How much weight has Meyers' dumb ass lost? And besides, don't we want our bigs to have weight in their asses (dumb or not)?

    At first I thought he was talking about you, but then I realized he said "lost" not "gained".

    I thought we were calling him Butters. Is MEYERS DUMBASS the latest forum nickname for Meyers Leonard. If so, the nicknames for that poor guy just keep getting meaner and meaner. We went from Biebs to Meyers Leonar_ to Butters to MEYERS DUMBASS. This forum can be pretty cruel at times...

    I agree, but if this team brings Melo in - they are in "going for it" mode

    I'm arguing with someone on Twitter about that same concept. IF NY is willing to take Meyers and/or Turner back in the deal, then sure. But if they're not willing to accept one of those guys, and insists on something like Harkless/Aminu/Davis/Vonleh, then it doesn't really help our salary situation all that much.

    No inside info. But I just have a beer gut feeling he'll be a Trail Blazer tomorrow. There is definitely an urgency to get this done before the start of training camp and media day.

    Have always liked Melo. Thought of him playing with our boys gets me VERY excited for the season. We never make big moves it seems, this would be one for sure.

    Assuming Harkless/Vonleh/Pick is sent as compensation:

    Lillard - CJ - Melo - Swanigan - Nurkic (all five guys can score reasonably from their spots)
    Turner - Morrow - Aminu - Collins/Davis - Leonard

    Napier/Goodwin/Layman handing out towels.

    I'll be super pissed if he goes to the Lakers and they end up getting LeBron and PG13 next year.
