Top 29 protected.

My sources are saying that Melo wants to be traded to a team that is west of NYC.

So the Celtics are OUT!

David Aldridge in with a splash of ice water for Blazers fans:

Thats not cold even tepid temperature water for Blazer fans. Aldridge is the only person who is is saying the knicks don't like what we have to offer, the only media person so far, and Aldridge is not known for breaking news. Seems like its still in the Melo hasn't said he would waive his NTC for portland then the Knicks dont' like what we have to offer.

Dame was in downtown Portland last night, so.....?

Really? Wasn't he just in NY at Sway's show?

Before we get too bent thinking the Blazers are a better team (they might be better Post trade than the others Post trade) every other team on the list has perennial all stars and at least one MVP caliber player ( Harden, James, Westbrook). Right now Portland doesn't even have 1 All Star.

This is very selectively pessimistic. Dame has been an all-star twice and averaged what D rose did when he won MVP (one of only 11 players to ever average 27/6/5) Cj averaged the exact same numbers as Beal who was an allstar last year so calm down with all that tough talk about a glorified popularity contest.

I am sooooo tired of this shit!!!!!

 

[KingSpeed]

Ugh. Fuck this if OKC gets Melo.

 

[chzbrgr]

shiiiiiiiiiiiit

 

[BlazerCaravan]

A GM stupid enough to fail to build around Melo for five years is also the kind of stupid that’d think Kanter’s 24 PER isn’t fool’s gold, so it checks out.

 

[Schilly]

Put a fork in the thread.

 

[chzbrgr]

well, it was fun while it lasted

 

[Gronk Brady]

So depressing...

 

[Scalma]

Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.

 

[Nhawz]

His dumb ass can go live in beautiful Oklahoma City. I'm getting such a sour taste in my mouth towards the NBA

It was like robots, man! Chuckie Cheese style robots that rap happy birthday.

 

[Scalma]

Can't wait til we play OKC.

 

[chzbrgr]

its over deal is done

 

[KingSpeed]

Rumor is OKC deal is done. Fuck.

 

[Schilly]

I was on board with bringing Melo in, but I'm totally fine with keeping our assets too.

 

[42N8Bounce]

Ugh

/Thread

 

[TBpup]

Finally.....this ridiculous thread can go away.

(Unless @SlyPokerDog keeps merging thread into it in perpetuity.)

 

[julius]

This doesn't surprise me. Not sure why OKC thinks this is a good long term deal
Que the anti Neil rants in 5...4...3...

 

[BonesJones]

We'll never land anyone ever. Just remember that.

 

[Scalma]

OKC got Paul George and Carmelo for Oladipo, Sabonis, Kanter, and Doug McDermott fuck this shit.

For one they get out of Kanter's deal.

This is a good deal for OKC.

 

[BonesJones]

Nite we can officially say: Fuck Melo

Good thing is: He doesn't make OKC better at all.

Assets are no good if you can't benefit from them. It's like being filthy bitcoin rich. Fuck me. Everybody else around us gets exponentially better and we add two 19 year olds and lose crabbe.
