I'm glad to hear we are done "facilitating."

Why should we help Houston?

Well, we presently have a thread in OT with over 5700 posts, so this one has quite a way to go before it matches that.

Ya'll should move over from clutchfans to here.

If there is something significant that happens it could double the post count. Because there is like 144 pages for almost nothing so far and 15 on an actual news from Woj (by my count of 159 pages).

Looks like the record might be the 2012 draft thread, over 6800 posts (138 pages for me at 50 posts per page, more like 343 pages for you 20 post-per-page people)

I'm going to retitle this thread Seinfeld since it's a thread about nothing.

Only two.

You lie! We all know you're the man behind the curtain!

It's cute that some of you think this thread is in the running for biggest on S2

I think we need a Discord server for random shit like this thread.

 

[Pinwheel1]

This thread is not that bad. One thread about nothing, might be better than multiple threads about nothing, like we normally have in July.

Haven't been on here in awhile. Did I miss nothing?

Yes?

Eric should flip flop and start talking about how the rockets are going to win the championship and how Harden is the greatest shooting guard of all time.

 

[e_blazer]

Yes?

Not that much, actually.

Woj is now on Dan Le Batard show.
- Knicks would like to talk to Carmelo Anthony this week.
- His preference is clearly Houston now.
- Going to be hard to the Knicks to resell New York to Carmelo.
- Cleveland is agressive but lacks the assets to make a deal. Similar to Houston they don't have young players or picks to make a deal.
- Cleveland's offer for Paul George included Kevin Love to Denver.

Not a single mention of Portland during this short time with Woj.

Was just about to post the same. Rather casual, calm discussion about Melo like there's no hurry for a deal at all. Woj did say Paul George would consider staying in OKC if things go okay this year.

Yeah, I don't see why there would be any urgency. Anthony's going to spend his off-season in New York regardless, I'm sure.

I don't think it's impossible that New York just holds onto Anthony if he insists that Houston is the only place he'll be traded. He'll still be a ticket draw and he expires in two years (or one, if he opts out). Better than taking on Rockets garbage.

There is a lot of relationship that could be broken by holding on a player that doesn't want to be here. Yes there is no urgency at all for the Knicks but if they want to move forward, the distraction provided by Melo may be too negative to keep him around.

Maybe NY talking to Carmelo is to get him to waive NTC to Portland

Seems like the best move for everyone is just to let him opt out next year and go where he wants. NY saves cap space and Houston or Cleveland can just work to sign him.

Knicks would be dumb to not try and get something in return for Melo...they've blown it up already and need young talent moving forward

Holding onto a disgruntled veteran when you're rebuilding isn't very smart, especially when you have an opportunity to add a young player or two and not lose him for nothing.

which is why the Knicks would like to do the Portland trade, but Melo is saying no.
Melo is saying Rocket deal, but the Knicks are saying no - you don't rebuild with Ryan Anderson and his contract.

Yeah and there was a report that mentioned the meeting the knicks want to have with Melo will be centered on him expanding his list of teams he'd accept a trade to. I wouldn't be surprised if the knicks have an acceptable package from Portland that they'd like to execute.
