The "Melo knows! It'll happen anyway!" just sounds like standard Vecsey reporting, which was always speculation/his own opinions phrased as "what I'm hearing."

Apparently he talks to himself a lot. So, technically he isn't lying.

They're also getting Harkless. That was my point. With Harklesss and Hardaway Jr., Crabbe would be a $21 million a year bench player.

In the post you quoted, they weren't. That deal had them receiving Crabbe, Leonard, and Vonleh.

Amico did say I believe before trade deadline that Portland was taking calls on dame which I don't believe so yeah definitely could be bullshit

D'Antoni's offense is build on ball movement. Few players in the league stop ball movement more than Carmelo.

Yes that is why I commented that I think Vecsey "assumed" D'Antoni doesn't want him. I would assume the same. I don't think he is a good fit for Houston either, which is why I want it to happen.

And it's not like D'Antoni doesn't know this. He coached Carmelo for parts of two seasons in New York and that didn't end well. His last season there was the lock out shortened 66-game 2011-12 season. This was the season after the Carmelo trade. D'Antoni had the rest of that season, all summer, training camp and preseason to figure out how to use Carmelo Anthony and it just didn't work. The Knicks started that season 18-24 under D'Antoni, he got fired and replaced with Mike Woodson, who led the exact same roster to an 18-6 record.

When D'Antoni says Carmelo won't work in his system, he knows what he's talking about. And, it's not like either party has changed in the last five years. Carmelo still plays ball stopping Carmelo ball and D'Antoni still plays fast and furious, no defense, 7 seconds or less ball.

The more I think about this, the more I hope it happens - as long as we don't get screwed in the process.

Vescey (NY Post) used to be THE source of NBA rumors back before the internet. I loved his column and he was very funny. Once the Internet and NBATalk.com (I think that's what it was called; that went away when Google showed up) came around, that was it for Vescey in terms of his influence.

I still wouldn't mind Melo on the Blazers.
