I really don't think he's going to consider going to Portland. He may be on the outs with the Knicks franchise but, from all accounts, he loves the city of New York. He'd probably prefer to go through the motions while living in New York and then perhaps opt out next off-season.

That's also entirely possible. I am not sure he is going to opt out next season though, certainly not with a move to Rockets or Cavs on his mind as the best he will get there is MLE so he'd leave $20M on the table by doing so. In general I don't think he has any chance to get a higher deal than the one he has now so he will only opt out if he doesn't care about the money.
 
Hap was a fat guy that was wrong about everything. That's all you need to know.

I made Bones a mod in name only since he's leading our forum 3 on 3 team in the Media Division of the Blazers 3 on 3 tourney. I felt we should have someone on staff on the team. Once the tourney is over he will lose those sweet sweet powers.

Whatever happened to that Jsports character? He seemed very legit several weeks ago.

Always said this guy is a fraud. And if Melo ends up in Houston, it doesn't give him any credibility at all.

?
His sources told him Carmelo to Houston. Woj came out and all but confirmed what the guy said. How does that make him a fraud?

The title wasn't misleading, it was simply taking a portion of the title of the article.

Ditching puntuation to make a speculative statement appear to be fact IS misleading. Whether it was on purpose or not, the only reason people clicked this thread was because you left the question mark off the end.
 
Do you really think:

Lebron James a Blazer ? - Why James should really consider signing with Portland

Is the same as:

Lebron James a Blazer ? - Why James should really consider signing with Portland
 
If the Knicks give into taking Meyers Portland will give into taking Ryan Anderson and Melo ends up in Houston. That's probably what will happen in the end. Like it or not.

People don't put periods at the end of post titles. For all we know it could be a question or a statement.

Also, "Carmelo Anthony to Portland" doesn't necessarily mean he's been traded. The subject of the post is Carmelo Anthony coming to Portland. You just read the title and let your imagination run wild Johnny Boy, that's why it's important to read the article rather than just the title.

That's a total fabrication on your part.

NY really wants Harkless. At some point in his career Harkless will probably be a Knicks.

More likely that Houston will cave and trade Gordon and ariza instead. Nobody wants andersons contract. Only way I see us taking on Anderson is if we got to dump Turner in the process. Leonard's contract isn't bad enough.
 
At this point, I kind of want Carmelo Anthony to go to HOU. They have already gutted their roster to get Chris Paul. I want them to also mortgage what's left of their future to get Melo. Morey isn't dumb enough to go BRK with a butt load of unprotected future picks for an aging "superstar". Still, I'd like to see them send out multiple future 1st round picks to get Anthony.

Then, part of me wants them to be reasonably successful, top 2 or 3 seed in the West, maybe even make it to the WCF this season. I want them to have enough success that Morey locks up a TON of cap space in two guys in their mid-30s for as long as possible. Melo is already past his prime and will continue to decline. CP3 is still productive, when healthy, but he's injury prone and not getting any younger.

Obviously, HOU is in win now mode, but their "superstars" wouldn't be enough to beat GSW, and are about 4 - 5 years older than GSW's superstars. The more HOU mortgages their future and the more they spend in future contracts, the less likely they are to be relevant 3 - 5 years from now when POR is at its peak.
