So, I guess it’s time to finally drive a silver dagger through the heart of this thread. Melo’s not coming to Portland. Not even to play against the Blazers this year since the Bulls already visited Moda this season. He’s probably going to retire at the end of the year. Maybe he comes to town on a shoe deal? Nah, he’s history.

But the Bulls will release him....so the insanity continues.
 
Jon Diebler was sent to CHI from HOU as well in the deal. Die-hard Trail Blazer fans may remember him.
 
TMac on The Jump says Melo on Portland would be a great fit off the bench. That he can easily still drop 15-20 a game if used right. (15 min mark or so)

Lowe countered by saying Melo might not want to come off the bench, and that Portland has a great vibe going and he doesn't think we need any distractions. Called us "an under the radar good team" right now.

TMac countered that by saying Melo was "perfect" and a good locker room guy in Houston from his sources and that he wouldn't create any issues.

Melo is certainly a polarizing figure. Based on his track record, I was convinced he had to be poison in the locker-room....but players keep saying otherwise. :dunno:
 
Remember, a good portion of you wanted to trade Harkless for Melo just last season.
Had that happened we wouldn't have made the POs last year.
Which, in the long run, probably would have been a good thing.
So I admit it, I was wrong - we should have traded Harkless for Melo.

Harkless by himself wouldn't have been enough though. Worst case we would've gotten out of some contracts this summer instead of 2020.

Nobody was looking at the trade as a salary dump. People (including Dame and CJ!) legitimately thought Melo was significantly better than Harkless.
 
...like we need another CJ...and Melo would be baaaaad CJ. This one we have is still alright.

Nobody? I wasn't on this board last summer but I was very adamant that getting Melo was a sneaky way for Olshey to dump salary while giving the appearance of "trying".

Alright, alright. But, by and large, most people saw it as a good trade not a salary dump.

Every person that was against it I argued the financial benefits of it even if Carmelo sucked. Oh well, it doesn't matter now.
 
Or just wait until the younger version gets bought out (Jabari) hehe.

I am still a rook so I wasn't around for #blurrypicgate but the thread is doing just fine keeping alive all by itself.
