    when Portland got Carmelo, it was a happy story. A legendary player making 1 more run before his retirement. But how the Blazers used Anthony was a bit whacky. He should have been a 6th man scoring punch with limited minutes. Not full time starter powerhouse Carmelo. Those Mega-Melo days were not going to surface too often. It's like the Blazers dusted off the LaMarcus Aldridge All-Star playbook, and handed it to a semi-retired Carmelo Anthony. Putting old man Melo at full-time starting PF was a head scratcher.

    that's a question for Olshey to answer. Stuffing antique Melo into the starting lineup proved to be unsuccessful.

    I don’t know about unsuccessful. We won the first ever play-in, made playoffs and won game 1 both years. We haven’t made the playoffs since Melo left.

    And if it was 3on3 tournament we could even won the whole thing with Dame, CJ, Melo and Stotts. It was fun basketball for those three and it was fun to watch sometimes, but winning 1 playoff game isn't really nothing to be proud of.

    Doesn't matter. Melo was as much of a hindrance as he was a help.

    We were better with Zach Collins, before he was injured.

    Thanks for the bump!! My “Blockbuster trade” proposal didn’t happen however we did eventually see Carmelo in a Blazer uniform! And my thread lives on!

    :cheers:

    I think it's awesome that Melo is going to be going in on the NBL. Definitely going to help this thread out in the long run, and since that is what's really important.....

    Doesn’t Melo have a Lowey? A Melo jr that might play?
    That could put a few more pages on this thread.
