The super Melo to Portland thread + The Big Blockbuster

[BigGameDamian]

Lol. I said I'm good with it as long as Harkless isn't part of the deal. I don't want to lose Vonleh either.

Well Harkless is part of the deal. So deal with it!

 

[Natebishop3]

Nice... Real Huffpo-esque reporting there BE....

And only.... what.... four hours after the rumor broke?

 

[Sinobas]

I suspect Olshey might want to use Hark as bait to get rid of a less desirable contract. I would not like to see him go. I think he's a very good role player for what the Blazers need at the 3. I don't believe we need this ball handler at the 3 crap.

 

[Strenuus]

How do you know? Is it official? I know you dont have sources with how wrong you always are, so...

 

[RipCityDSCPL]

And only.... what.... four hours after the rumor broke?

Well... There is a three hour time difference from New York to Portland.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Lol you can't be serious...wanna bet neither shoot 40% from 3 next season? Swanigan isn't playing the Hawkeyes, he's gonna be playing the spurs

Yawn.

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

I'll await your thread where your unrealistic expectations weren't met.

Not saying we have a chance

 

[riverman]

The downside to losing Mo is that he's close to Swanigan...

 

[illmatic99]

NY just signed Tim Hardaway jr to essentially the same contract that AC got. He's a rfa with ATL

Hasn't stopped some people.

The Hawks are strangely enough a huge market that nobody wants to play for

 

[illmatic99]

4 yrs 71 for Hardaway? Man RFA is brutal. Max for Otto Porter? Crazy

 

[TBpup]

Losing Harkless to get rid of Meyers is sadly where the roster is at after last summer. Harkless and Vonleh have as much potential to get better as anyone on the roster IMO.

I don't think max for Porter is crazy. He is a very good two way player.

Sigh.

I hate Butters so much.

 

[Natebishop3]

He's a role player, just like our guys. The Nets are desperate to acquire any young talent.

So let them acquire Crabbe.

Losing Mo tells me they like Biggie and Layman

 

[Jade Falcon]

Harkless is established. Layman isn't, nor did he start one time last season.

 

[riverman]

So let them acquire Crabbe.

His trade kicker seems to slam the door shut on moving him....hopefully he'll produce and make a leap this season but I don't see us trading his contract now and I'm ok with that with the small upgrades we've got

 

[TBpup]

Which is very much in line with what my guy who is tight with the Nets said.

 

[dviss1]

Right after BE's "piece"

 

[Trackjack]

I don't know which team is holding it up but there saying it either the Blazers or Knicks due to Melo going to Houston . Or it could be the Blazers don't want Anderson.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Your guy?

Nets? Where'd they come into the pic?

 

[riverman]

Neil is calling New York's bluff it sounds like....I hope he comes out with a win in the end

 

[Natebishop3]

I don't know which team is holding it up but there saying it either the Blazers or Knicks due to Melo going to Houston . Or it could be the Blazers don't want Anderson.

Would anyone?

 

[riverman]

They might want something else in return for helping Melo get to Houston....Houston doesn't have a lot...they just signed Tim Quarterman...Ryan is not what Neil wants more than likely...doesn't fit his age demographic or value system much

Code for:

Fuck that NY! You can't have Hark!
