    So come Monday it all comes down to does Carmelo get traded to Portland or remain a Knicks?

    Who the shit would want to live/play in OKC? I'd rather get shot in the dick and next off season I think we'll see PG and Westbrick feel the same as they gtfo of there.

    So let me get this straight.
    WoJ doesn't name a team outside of Cavs in which Melo expanded his list to.
    But the far more connected NYDN does.
    Doesn't pass the smell test.

    We have what NY wants and he knows that. He may eventually come here but it's a little disheartening knowing he isn't gung ho about it. Out of all these clowns excluding woj, Sam amick is the most reliable in my opinion.

    This time Portland actually has a good chance to land someone. This time REALLY.

    BGD is absolutely correct. Very possible that Carmelo is seeing what other teams NYK could deal with, in order to weigh his options.

    Here's my theory:

    Olshey kept Woj quiet on us being a team on the expanded list. NYK are using it to gather more interest from said teams. We're ACTUALLY on the list, have the trade in place, and NYK just wants to drum up more offers. But no other team can offer it.

    It's like having a boyfriend/girlfriend who is timid about dating someone. The other person will be like "Sure, date around"... they do this knowing they are gonna get them back anyway.

    If it's not obvious by now, Melo to HOU is dead.

    That would take CLE and OKC out of the equation...

    Seriously?! Fuck Melo. Like I said before (whether if it's the original Melo thread or this one), I want him to get traded to any of those teams he included on his little wishlist. I mean think about it, whether if it's Harden/CP3/Melo in HOU, Westbrook/George/Melo in OKC, or LBJ/Love/Melo in CLE, that shit would be hilarious to watch when it fails come postseason time.

    Barring any season-ending injuries to either Steph or KD, the league might as well hand the championship to them. That being said, let's just roll with our young guys and see what we got. Melo doesn't come across as someone who WANTS to be in POR despite the recruitment efforts from our awesome backcourt.

    Nobody knows what's actually going on here, wait till something happens and it becomes clear to pass judgement.

    This is just as satisfying as landing him, if not more. I'm finally going to use my clutchfans pass hoping we get him, and shit all over them. We would hop them in the power rankings for sure and couldn't say or do a thing about it.

    The -only- thing that would make it better than Houston not getting him...

    Is we get him.

    MUHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA. And it would be like we got him with .9 left on the clock.

    So what do you guys think the agree'd deal is? I haven't been following really closely. I know Harkless would be moved, but we still need to include more salary

    Rocket fans really don't get it. They keep talking about a bidding war. There's nothing to bid. They have no assets. If they did, the trade would have happened.

    Harkless for sure. Then either Vonleh or a protected pick. Davis/Connaughton or Leonard for salary filler. Although I think if NY was smart they'd ask for Layman instead of Connaughton.

    If Leonard goes it'd be bittersweet. I'd be so happy he's off this team as a player, but as a person I'd fear for the mental onslaught he'd most likely go through being in that city'
