The super Melo to Portland thread + The Big Blockbuster (1 Viewer)

I'm making a 5 team trade thread. You guys got the 4 team down!

 

[BigGameDamian]

All I got to say they got everyone guessing who that 4th team is and who knows maybe we are not one of the teams at all. The only 2 team for certain is NY and Houston.

I think it is clear Portland is one of the teams. NYK wants Harkless.

It's clear because it's all but been confirmed. Good job, sleuth.

The Pelicans, once the home of Ryan Anderson, expressed interest in being one of the clubs involved, according to a source. Anderson’s three-year, $60 million contract needs to be part of this transaction since Anthony’s $27 million pact — plus trade kicker — is so immense. The Knicks have no interest in Anderson because he plays Kristaps Porzingis’ position and is older than the mid-20s-type player the club seeks.

The Pels have nothing to offer really. Solomon Hill, Omer Asik and E'Twann Moore are making 12/10/8 million respectively. Maybe if Portland thinks swapping Leonard for one of those contracts is worth it. Asik's deal has 3 more years, with an ETO in 2020 that he would almost certainly exercise. Hill and Moore have 3 years guaranteed.

I don't know if New York does that. Solomon Hill is almost as useless as Leonard.

I was questioning whether New Orleans does that, but it's about the same salary for Anderson for two years since Hill is on a 3 year deal and Ajinca has 2. And at least Anderson is a useful player unlike Hill.

Also probably sub Ariza for Gordon. Don't think the Rockets would want to give up Gordon.

Why does New Orleans want a $20M backup PF?

Says who?

If we get a $20M starter I want K-Lo. But since that ain't happening, nix this whole shit.

I will be a lakers fan with HCP if Portland ever gets Love.

No idea. Just playing off the other post suggesting New Orleans might want Anderson back. Figured I'd see what might work.

 

[Trackjack]

If it Leonard that NY and Houston don't want so that trade won't work. I wonder how Leonard fills when 30 teams don't want you and one of the teams is your own team that you presently play for.

Pelicans would much rather have Gordon and Ariza than Anderson

I've been imagining Bones just fapping the entire day to seeing that a 4 team trade might actually happen. He probably has done 40 trades, with bags of cheetos and day old slurpees strewn about the room.

I sure as hell won't be posting here during my Beijing and Qinhuangdao vacation next week. I will be enjoying every moment I can with my gf.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Gordon, along with a healthy Nurk, would vault this team.

He's exactly what the bench needs.

 

[BonesJones]

Where have you been? Gone downtown yet?

Yes. Staying at the Palms right now, been to the 2nd and 3rd SL games and going to the 4th tonight.

Been all down the strip and checked out Fremont Street last night. My GF is getting us into a club for free tonight.

It'll be kind of nice to be back on Friday, tbh.

He might be an athlete, but I really doubt he is that flexible.

I'm not gonna stand in the bathroom for 2 hours.

Neil got lost at circus circus.

 

[Nikolokolus]

They'll probably wait until tomorrow when the news type folks will be starting their weekend. Less immediate feeding frenzy for Dolan.

Hop in the shower with mine. Make the best use of those two hours.
