The super Melo to Portland thread + The Big Blockbuster

[Cippy91]

If I am the NY I am all over dumping Melo for Kyrie. (and maybe Frye's 1 year deal) That would be stupid for Cleveland in the long run though if Lebron leaves. But I can see Lebron forcing their hand.

Then if I am the Cavs I trade love too

Cavs would get WAY more value than that. Kyrie is 25 and in his prime. That's why I think he begins the season with the Cavs, they are gonna wait for a great deal, not something that will make them look dumb for accepting.

I wouldn't be mad if this happened but I doubt Chicago would go for it.

Neil seems to have a boner for helping out Cleveland so it could be them too.

You should play 2k, it's great to try and attempt insane trades like this

I mean, obviously Cleveland would be getting picks in this scenario. It would be cool to see 3/4th of the banana boat on a team other than USA lol

I agree they can get more but why would they have to wait until after the season started? They are probably already getting good offers.

No doubt, my gut says Miami may be the top dog to get Kyrie. I could see Riley offering a Dragic+Winslow+Bam package for Kyrie+Filler.

Or if NYK is desperate enough... Melo+Porzingis for Kyrie+Love type deal (obviously the Knicks would have to dump salary on Cleveland in this scenario.)

So this thread is not ending AGAIN :MARIS61:

 

[Minstrel]

This thread will never end. Not even with Melo's retirement.

 

[Scalma]

The kicking the can on Patty's contract is interesting. His 1.3 mil deal could be a throw in

That's my guess as well.

Maybe we don't know. They will wait for a great deal though, it's no rush

This isn't a thread; it's a Möbius strip.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

DRose playing for $2 mil this season?

We now have proof that Biebs is 5x better than a former MVP!

 

[BonesJones]

I will bump this for the next 10 years

 

[tester551]

I wouldn't mind this trade:

To Houston: Melo & Lance Thomas (bad contract) I tried to get Meyers set to Houston, but couldn't get it to work.

To Portland: R Anderson, Ariza, & Shawn Long (non-guaranteed prospect - with a decent chance to become something)

To NYK: Crabbe, Harkless, & Houston 1st (with non-guaranteed contracts of Quarterman, Taylor, & Onuakau)

We will get Ryan Anderson, won't we?

 

[illmatic99]

Just hope it won't be OKC and Kanter

 

[Cippy91]

People are saying this tweet is cryptic or some shit.

Message. Msg. Madison square garden.

Current conspiracy theory. Harkless tweeted it yesterday

 

[Reep]

Maybe it is Kanter and 2k to Portland. I could see that. Even more so if you send out Harkless and Biebs.

 

[Mr. Robot]

I dont think HOU is involved in the trade, at least I read somewhere POR wont help them facilitate that deal

maybe there is a Love trade in the works?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Yeah, not necessarily the worst possible outcome.

Dear god no.

 

[Blazinaway]

Kanter makes little/no sense after the draft we just did
