    Scott Perry has only been the Knicks GM for a little over two months.

    The only reason Kanter looks good is because he's not Ryan Anderson.

    In fact, if this trade does happen, Kanter shall henceforth be known as Enes "Not Ryan Anderson" Kanter.

    Melo and PG are way better than Payton and Malone were. And Lakers still made Finals. Not a comforting comparison.

    We haven't heard what the Portland offer was, but best not to mortgage our future for a one year rental. I like our core.

    I'm looking forward to this season! Go Blazers!!

    Yeah, their role was they are both already established NBA stars and apparently that's the requirement for Melo. Can't make someone's mind up for them.

    Doesn't matter what the opinion of their talent was, those players were still young and not trash, now they won't even have young players if Melo/PG leaves. It'll be Westbrook and Adams.

    Melo seemed like the perfect fit for our team. We just can't get a break, no players ever want to come here. It seems Portland's liberal image that is tempered by a history of white supremacy really has these African American players on edge. legit only way we can build a team is through the draft or acquiring underrated players. At least Houston fans also got cucked.

    It was melo choice not Knicks, he had to waive his no trade.. presti got him to waive it for them. It was never reported we were ever a real option.

    At some point we got to ask maybe Olshey is not good at luring big names.... we haven't gotten any big names to come in if u think about it

    Portland as a city is outshined by Oklahoma City in the eyes of NBA players, let that sink in. I never will see a championship in Portland and I guess I'm okay with it.. that's life.

    Because we're Portland. Because we don't have someone with the pull that Russ does.

    Sure, But Russ is not Kobe + Shaq and LAL did not win it all (which was the expectation) and they imploded a year after. My gut feeling - they will be good, but not good enough to unsit GSW and there will be a huge melt-down the year after.

    Exactly right. You can certainly question Olshey for re-signing Leonard and offering such huge contracts to Turner and Crabbe but you can't fault him for Bitchard taking much less of an offer and 'Melo not letting himself be traded to Portland.

    OKC got 3 stars but they have know bench. Guess what if they are not successful this all 3 of these stars can leave next year. So what they have done through all there marbles in one basket and cross there fingers it don't blow up in there face.

    Totally agree

    I feel bad for Dame. He doesn't deserve this.

    But dont you get the sense that Dame doesnt recruit at all, he justifiably thinks that is not his job, but it sounds like that's how deals get done these days. I think we are to the point where if Dame wants to get better players in here he has to sell it.

    Sam Presti is one of the best GMs ever

    Paul Allen should throw him tons of money and make him the richest GM ever.

    Amazing
