    That definitely smells like Meyers (the scent is a cross between man-tears, hair gel, fear, tanning booth, and Jeep sweat (those leather seats do no favors in the hot sun)).

    I swear to God I don't want this bullshit to happen. I'd rather go with the squad we have than lose Hark and start Anderson.

    By the NY paper Anthony trade is at the 2 yard line.

    Losing Hark is meh to me, as long as Portland gets return value I wouldn't mind.
    However I don't want Anderson anywhere near the Blazers.
    I wouldn't even want the guy for the 3 on 3 tourney. Mainly because he can't guard a middle schooler.

    Makes sense actually if it's Meyers. Knicks don't need him. They have Porzingis and Hernangomez. They don't have the space or need to develop Meyers. Rockets can't take him financially. Hence...fourth team. Hello Brooklyn.

    Well. Whomever ends up with Meyers will realize they have been fucked at some point.

    I personally believe the sky is the limit for Hark. Still has a huge upside IMO. And playing with Nurk for a whole season is gonna be a joy to watch.

    I'm 100% (I'm not done with obscure Sonic Youth references yet) with you on this one.

    I think you're right. It seems like we've seen Hark's ceiling. He's not a bad player by any means, but we really should try to find a better starter. He's fine off the bench, or starting in a pinch, IMO.

    When he's motivated and locked in I think Hark is one of the best 3 and d players in the league. And he's on a great contract.
    However far too often last year I watched him lose focus and let his man get an easy bucket.
    With the talent level and ability he's shown, his man should never get an easy bucket.
    Only reason it happened is because he wasn't directly involved in the defensive play and lost his man.

    He actually got pulled last year late in the season in a game or two because he was having these mental lapses.
    I'm high on Hark but he's not untouchable like Lillard & CJ are.

    Neil probably sees this as his best chance to unload a bad contract but the parameters of this deal will probably be startling. When was the last four team deal.... Dwight Howard?

    Lets be real here.
    Losing Harkless and gaining Anderson is not fucking equal value for Harkless.
    I will march on the rose garden if this is all Portland gets in return.

    Watch him go to the Nets and turn into a more athletic Mehmet Okur.

    Why? You keep saying this but have yet to elaborate. He just turned 24 and IMO has some of the highest upside on the team.

    Yeah you're right. Anderson is better.

    FWIW

    Mo scored 20+ points in 3 games. He's a starter.

    He scored 10+ in half the games. The other half, under 10 (he missed 5 games, but those count as 0 points).

    He's 24, or 33 years younger than me. To the day.

    Based on what? He's not a good shooter and his FT % suggests he won't get much better. His defense is inconsistent. That part he could improve on, sure. But I just don't see this high upside you speak of. Yeah he's technically young, but he's going on his sixth season. He's not a prospect anymore.

    Lets play jeopardy.
    This current NBA player has played 9 years in the league, yet he's never played in 82 games.

    who is Ryan Anderson

    I can't see it being that the trade is contingent on Harkless ONLY. I am sure they are looking at other combinations of players. Although Harkless def. has the best contract.
