Look i can see why some don't want this to happen. But if you get a chance to get a pure scoring threat like Melo then you have to take that chance. The fact is a starting 5 of Dame,CJ, Melo, Vonleh/Swanigan/Collins/ and Nurkic gives any team huge headaches to guard and can cover most teams. Even GS or the Cavs. The Blazers immediately become a threat to make it to the WCF. They might not win a chip but that team would be a whole lot of fun to watch.
Will it happen? Who knows? But you got to admit the team would be a nightmare for defenses to guard.

That's it! We'll play 7 on 5! They'll never know what hit them! ;)

J/K I knew what you meant ;)

Notice Comma's ,,,,,, and Slash's //////. Thanks i'll do better next time. What i see in my mind is not always as clear to those looking at it. Might be the clutter up there.

Kind of makes you wonder why the Knicks don't want him. Surely if he's this good he would be leading them to the playoffs in the pathetic East.

The inner smart ass in me just has to come out some times.

Eh I've thought about it and...he wants to play with his buddies, whatever. Doesn't mean he's against playing in Portland.

That doesn't bother me at all... Reason being if I were a NBA player stuck with the Knicks I would want to be just about anywhere else.
 
Also giving up the lifestyle he has in NY isn't easy. I'd actually be surprised if he did and accepted a deal to Portland. If that happens, that's a pretty big deal imo.

NO!
And I especially don't want to give up useful assets for someone like that. This is the offer I'd make (Aminu/Ed can be shuffled as needed):

Deal isn't happening without Harkless. That's Perrys guy, a New Yorker, fills a hole, and has a higher upside and locked up longer han Aminu. If Olshey gets Melo without including Harkless I'm building him a statue

Then the deal shouldn't happen. Knicks have NO leverage here. I'm not giving up our only good SF for a possible one year rental of a guy who is now better fit to play PF.

They do have leverage. They can just keep him.

Id be shocked if our offer didn't include both Harkless and Vonleh (along with salary filler of either Davis or Leonard)

Well your not the GM.
 
This has been discussed before but I also think Goodwin and Briscoe (plus Morrow) were brought in with the idea that there could be roster spots opening in the near future. Goodwin especially. He's too good to be just training camp filler imo. I mean compare him to some of the guys we had last season. Greg Stiemsma? Lol come on.

From today; Windhorst (and to a lesser extent Jackson) like the idea of Melo in Portland.

SJax says: "I would go. I love Portland. Those two guys, and the big guy who's lost a lot of weight, that's a good look for Melo. It might not happen because of Melo's situation with Chris Paul, but he needs to get out of NY."

The big guy who's lost a lot of weight?

Well, that proves it...

Shawn Kemp has lost 80 pounds, looks great and is making a comeback!!!

Given the choice, would you rather deal:
  • Harkless, Meyers, and Davis
  • Turner, Collins, Vonleh and 2018 #1
