The super Melo to Portland thread + The Big Blockbuster

[SlyPokerDog]

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.

What?!? When was this planned? Why aren't you taking me?

 

[Strenuus]

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

Anywhere with them is quality time.

There isn't a kennel in the world big enough for a human dog, fucktoaster.

Haha. This is my 3rd trip to China this year.

 

[theprunetang]

Haha. This is my 3rd trip this year to China this year.

But how many of those trips happened this year?

 

[RR7]

I imagine if they can, they'll try to finalize it tonight, so they can introduce Carmelo and Paul together.

 

[Hobbesarable]

But how many of those trips happened this year?

Yeah, I was a little slow on the edit.

 

[Gronk Brady]

At this point I will be very disappointed if Blazers not involved in the trade... don't know why so many in here are so worried about Paul Allens money... Ryan Anderson might be best stretch 4 in NBA... no matter who you get on defense there is no way to stop Warriors... so better to build as strong an offense as possible

I'm sorry. I'm trying to quit smoking and I've got some vinegar in my blood.

WTF?!?

What are you smuggling?

 

[RR7]

WTF?!?

What are you smuggling?

You heard his knowledge of crates, clearly smuggling dog to the restaurants there.

 

[Hobbesarable]

WTF?!?

What are you smuggling?

I got the 10-year visa earlier this year and I have been using it for my vacations so far. The USD goes quite far in China if you know people there and how to get around.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

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

Grizz and Cavs should swap Marc Gasol and Love. Their salaries are identical and Memphis needs to get younger...

 

[Rastapopoulos]

What do I win?

 

[Orion Bailey]

So with Collins being an obvious project, I still think we need a much better improvement in backup C.
Cut Patty C to make a little more room

What would hold this back? Could we toss in a pick or two to the knicks?

I would so do this!

No. I can't imagine you really believe that?

Bulls are paying more money to get worse. Not to mention it's 60M+ guaranteed beyond this year.

Not following?

Yea, bulls are going young, this doesnt make sense

Depends how they feel about Anderson. Also they might want to avoid having a disgruntled Wade on their hands. But yes, in general, the Bulls have the least reason to do this.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

They get younger!

Uh look who you have coming back to the blazers... all of those guys are 32+

I'd love that.

I kinda like this one, although I'm higher on Crabbe than most people. If it was Turner instead of Crabbe, maybe.

I don't think the Suns do this.

Think deeper. We rid ourselves of Turner's contract and Butters while freeing up enough $$ to re-sign Big Nurk.

Exactly. And everyone off the books in two years when we cna spend some money to bring in the final pieces to the puzzle of our future core of Dame/CJ/Nurrk/Turner/Swannigan/Collins/Vonleh.... or whoever of those aren't panning out.

Point being is they are more than serviceable and improve our team for the next season or so, but then frees up our cap issues so we can pounce on the right FA/lopsided trade to bring in that missing piece two years from now when GSW is on the decline.

Thanks D!
