I'm sure Knicks don't want him. Give them some of our young guys.

Lillard/Henderson/Melo/LA/MGasol

Champions!!!
 
Melo can score. He just needs a better situation. He did take Nuggets to WCF.
 
Trade for him so he can pull out one of his old bag of tricks and demand a trade . . . which Denver did pretty well with so not a bad plan actually.
 
Funny, there are many things I wonder, but that certainly isn't one of them.
 
Only way I take on Melo is if LA leaves. Don't wanna two chuckers on the same team
 
I don't know if I like the trio of him with LMA and Dame. Think I might rather target a Demarr Carroll or Danny Green and even giving them $13 million a year would be much less than Melo. If we strike out on free agents and have a ton of cap space; or LMA leaves; and the Knicks sign younger players maybe it becomes something to consider. Melo has a lot of holes in his game but he gets bashed so much he's now being underrated by many. I have a lot of trouble seeing Melo and his wife being happy in the city of roses though.
 
I think he might have a no trade clause?
 
Melo would join the Nets before the Blazers..he's NY all the way and his wife doesn't want to live anywhere else. His NY perks are really what he seems to care about more than winning. He's also injury prone and not interested in defense. This is not a possibility in my view. If he left NY he'd want to go to Miami or. some place with a lot of nightlife and glamour. Just don't see it. Not a good fit.
 
But if LA wants another star to play with, who is that star? DeMarre Caroll (sp?) and Danny Green aren't stars.

No one said stars but us fans. I think Aldridge wants a team that can contend. A true third fiddle player would be choice. And yes, Danny Green or Carroll aren't true third fiddles.

Menlo is and will always consider himself option 1. He is not a true option 1, IMO

Well because they banned honey nut Cheerios from being sold in the markets

Remember when KG got under Melo's skin and whispered in his ear "Your wife taste like Honey Nut Cheerios?"

Actually, I didn't know he said that! man! And here I am a big fan of the cereal and getting pissed that its gonna be removed from the shelves until I thought about i a moment. LOL.

Now that I know Melo likes honey nut cheerios, I think Im gonna go toss the rest of my box in the garbage....

And for the record, I am not a Melo fan at all. Good teams have been built around him in Denver and NY and he has failed to produce..other than in his stats. I dont think he will ever get a ring, because he doesn't know how to play well with other good players. I thought it was coaching in Denver, but then the same type of lack of team unity spawned in NY. He's not a team player. We dont want him if we wan to win, unless he openly comes out to the public and says he understands he is coming in as the third star to help Dam and LMA when they need it. Thats the only way and tha wont ever happen.

I don't think we have the salaries to do all that, do we? Gasol isn't very realistic, either. HOWEVER.....IF LA stays and you could convince the Knicks to take Leonar_, CJ, Vonleh (can we trade him?) and multiple firsts then adding him with LA and Lillard is interesting


One thing you are forgetting though......S.Y.R.A.C.U.S.E.
 
I really hope we don't sign Melo. He needs the ball all the time and doesn't really have a position. Avoids defense at all costs
 
I say we wait until next year, lock Kobe up to a 5 year deal. We'd be contenders for years with a starting lineup like this.

Lillard/Kobe/LeBron/LMA/Gasol

Our 2nd unit is just as good with

CP3/Wade/Melo/KLove/Deandre

Now all we need to do is just convince Kobe to come to Portland.
