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.

It seems like he's going to Cleveland at this point. I think Houston is out. They don't have much of a fugure anyway. That roster is horrible outside of Harden and Paul.

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.

Well see. Someone will cave though.

I think he will end up in CLE as well but not in a trade for Kyrie. I think they end up giving in to a Love trade that lands them Melo and then they do a separate deal with Kyrie.

I just don't see how they would be ok trading a 25 yr old Kyrie with 2 yrs left on his deal when one of the biggest pieces coming back is a 33 yr old Melo on an expiring, even if it included Bledsoe. Kyrie should have way more value then that.

They have to be smart enough to realize this trade isn't just a chance to help them in next years championship run but also give them a clear plan with options after LeBrons imminent departure after next year. They should be looking for either another cornerstone player to build around or promising young assets and picks. Melo wouldn't even be on my radar in a Kyrie deal if I was them.

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.

Nobody wants to read a thread regarding old news that has already been hashed over in numerous other threads. Your thread has garnered barely any discussion about the topic in it's title. All it did was annoy a bunch of people who, like me, thought it was a dick tease.

Yes it does. If you say "Carmelo Anthony to Portland" that means he was traded to Portland. That's common knowledge.

With Nurk it's sort of like we celebrated Christmas early....that was our offseason, and I think the draft was good as well...actually the best summer league games I've enjoyed in a long time but trade wise.....not a Blazer hotbed of anticipation

Dude. Give it up.
A statement is a statement and a question is a question. Yours read as a statement when you were asking a question.
Mistake or on purpose is irrelevant and I personally don't care, other than your denial of anything, and unwillingness to say "oops", is just taking away from the totality of the discussion., making it that much harder to follow and keep up with an already difficult thread..
Get over yourself, admit the mistake like most other rational human beings do when they are wrong and move on. Simple.

Now Cheers!

Welcome to the club! Never wanted Melo in the first place and if these scenarios you pointed out come into fruition, the threads from cuckfans will be a joy to read.
 
You guys let a troll post troll you and you're still buggin' about it?

Why do you pay it mind?

Damn, way to personally insult a bunch of people in one post.

Technically, it's not a personal insult. It's a group insult.

It's a loop hole in the no personal insults rule. You can insult an entire group of people, just not one at a time. You can basically piss off half the forum by saying everyone who likes/dislikes a certain player is an idiot. If your goal is to piss people off, it is more efficient than handing out the insults one at a time. Plus your post won't get edited and you won't get banned.

If you read my post then you answered your own question. Your response, however, implies you read only portions of my post at best. Not sure why I expected anything other. My fault thought you could take the high road. Thanks for clarifying.

Nice.
And who sounds like a bitch???
Hahahaha
Some people are simply unable to get it.
Carry on sinobas. :)

Kinda like some of the racist rants that have transpired over the years, let alone a specific instance of two last season....

It's been so boring I've seen multiple people across multiple sites making excuses like "Nurkic at the trade deadline was our real off season move".

That comes from the team itself lol. What's funny is they used that same excuse on deadline day as well. It was acceptable then. Not so much anymore.

No, it was merged because it contained no new information. Everything in your article had already been posted before. We didn't need two threads discussing the same things.

But that article was the perfect excuse to make a thread titled "Carmelo Anthony to Portland."

Is there some sort of prize for being the last person to post on this thread to nowhere.......??

You win, for the simple fact you didn't waste your time in this thread.

You win, for the fact you don't appear in this thread as a douche.

You win, for not wasting your time on the attention-whore tools that like to self-inflict drama on this board because the summer is quiet and the Blazers are not very active.

So, consider yourself the biggest winner. Your prize is time.
