I kinda don't agree with this. Melo comes here and it's CJ that would have to sacrifice. I think the offense would run through Dame/Nurk pick and rolls and Melo post ups.

CJs way too efficient to sacrifice shots. Melo would sacrifice. I'd expect him to average around 17-18ppg.

Honestly it doesn't even matter. We know our guys aren't selfish (even though CJ has a selfish game.)

Warriors had three guys average 20+. We'd be fine.

I think the offense still runs through the guards, but that now they can have more than 1 other player be a cog.

I'm betting that Damian and CJ would sacrifice but I also think it'd still be Damian #1, CJ #2. My bigger point is that as long as Damian and CJ are Trail Blazers, Nurk won't be the #2 option. He will be a facilitator, no doubt.

Hmm isn't that just Nike? I'm wondering because if it is, he's probably been to Portland in the offseason.

It is a nike owned brand but operates as a separate thing much like Converse or Cole Hahn.

Nurkic wouldnt be as productive as last season, less shot attempts etc
it would stop Nurkic progress as a player, its really that simple

Nurkic might become 2nd option on this team, and if you bring Carmelo, hed be 4th option on offense
thanks, but no thanks

Wut? He'd be taking all of Crabbe and Harkless' shots ~18-20 and probably some of Dame and Cj's. First for the record everybody should be ok with. Second enough of this 'options' talk who's the first option who's the second blah blah bullshit how bout just pass to the open guy? Cause when you got scorers like Dame Cj and Melo on the floor plus NURK! someone's always gunna be open.
 
Houston has nothing to trade. I have no idea why anyone would want to go there. That team is bereft of talent, outside of Paul and Harden.

Yeah but where they headquartered?

Nike WHQ and Tinker works out of his warehouse offsite. It's basically nike but a distinct subsidiary with its own assets aand trademarks so products sold by Jordan dont have the swoosh lots of the time.

I think some people here are a bit too analytical about the prospect of Melo joining the Blazers.
He doesn't make the Blazers a contender, that's true, But wouldn't be fun to watch this experiment? we are not setting the league on fire right now anyway.

CJ and Dame will remember that Neil got them a star to help them, we get another asset wanted by young teams and powerful players like Lebron James and Chris Paul.

Let's roll with it if it happens.

Exactly--just like with Pippen the only chance of us getting a "superstar" is when they're on the decline portion of their career. We will never be a market that can be picky.
 
The question is who would you give them?

Would they take Crabbe or Turner?

Maybe a combo of Harkless/Meyers/Vonleh/others.
