The super Melo to Portland thread + The Big Blockbuster

[illmatic99]

Portland has way too many retired numbers. I wish they'd just switch to a ring of honor or something.

sorry, old timers, that too in the 50th season.

Who is Larry Steele?

 

[Cugel]

you cant make this shit up man.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

This season has officially jumped the shark

 

[illmatic99]

...why not?! He is a future HOFer, unlike the other #7 you are referring to

ouch

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Can't wait for next week's breaking news...

Blazer forward Carmelo Anthony to have microfracture surgery.

 

[kjironman1]

You think this makes us worse? We now have LESS of a chance of winning games now? You’d rather Tolliver and Mario be on the floor than him? If yes, we are no longer boys.

I didn't say that. I was just WOWing!
I got a little info. Non Guaranteed contract, 2.2 million and cap hit is 1.3 million. He can be waived if need be and he can't hurt the team in any way that i see it.
If he fits and produces some space for Dame i'm all for it. If they can't make it work no loss. He sits and we bring in Tolliver again.

 

[hoopsjock]

We're LAST in assists, it's not like the ball movement was great and Melo is gonna come fuck it up.

 

[jonnyboy]

Tolliver is 34. Melo is 35. LO fucking L.

Yeah but Tolliver is Tolliver and Melo is Melo.

 

[bobf]

Boy fuck it. I'm talking myself into this signing. If Dwight can revitalize his dead ass career in LA, Melo can sure do the same thing here. Praise be the Melo god.

We should just be rolling the dice on any young players. Who knows you could get lucky. There’s no upside on Melo. Unlikely he will Benjamin Buttons.

The only way this news could be better is if he were dating a Kardashian.

 

[B-Roy]

The typical Woj spin on this has me dying. Fuck this season, but also, hahahahahahahaha.

 

[Dougnsalem]

Came here just to say congrats to @KingSpeed from Clutchfans for finally getting your boy.

LMAO. This right here is some damn funny shit. The moniker..... Lol. Welcome to the forum!

 

[kjironman1]

LMAO Neil on panic mode. Now we have 2 ball hog in CJ and Melo

I don't see this as panic at all. More of a very controlled gamble with very little downside.

He doesn't look overweight, so that's a plus.

 

[BigGameDamian]

The non-guarantee is kinda mind boggling though. But maybe Carmelo regrets not choosing to come to Portland in the first place and is doing us a solid.

 

[Cugel]

Boy fuck it. I'm talking myself into this signing. If Dwight can revitalize his dead ass career in LA, Melo can sure do the same thing here. Praise be the Melo god.

salient point. DH is playing his role with LA. CA is pretty much free so let's see what he's got. stotts loves iso which is perfect for melo

Hey....

Lol, Carmelo was like this dude wont stop asking stupid questions.

 

[kjironman1]

Portland has way too many retired numbers. I wish they'd just switch to a ring of honor or something.

So he give BRoy a call and asks if it's cool. I'm thinking that would do the trick.

 

[illmatic99]

He can be a legit pick and pop threat. Our team loves to shoot long twos anyway.

We're the Dame of forums!

That would be so annoying. Some of those TMZ type people don't know when to fucking stop talking.

 

[illmatic99]

It's crazy. I remember and XMas day game with BRoy going at it with Denver Melo in a win.

 

[DDolla]

The good news, Blazers will be on national tv a lot.

 

[hoopsjock]

I love B-Roy but he's been pretty absent from Portland since he left. I don't think they need to call him.

 

[Scalma]

Shit he pretty much called it. Said Portland would be perfect for him.

 

[santeesioux]

We meme magic'd it into existence, I'm proud of us.

 

[Natebishop3]

Is it weird that I'm strangely excited about this signing? I mean, given the shitstorm of the season so far at least Melo will provide some good content and entertainment value. As long as his minutes come from Hezonja and Tolliver I don't think it will be that bad.

And yes, I am fully aware my optimism will probably fade 3 minutes into Melo playing, but fuck it. That's why we're fans right? It's like being stuck in a bad relationship...

Me too man. This season has been horribly boring so far because of injuries. Our team is decimated. How much worse could it possibly get? Sometimes you gotta make things interesting.
