What if we stand pat?

I don't think you could get Melo, but my interested but non-homer type observation is that Melo is the kind of guy you need. A legit #1 option in his own right, to go along with Roy, he fills the SF spot and leaves LMA/Miller as 3rd and 4th type options. I think they'd be excellent in those roles.

Anthony is 2nd team All-NBA and was sixth in MVP voting. I think every team could use a guy like that.

A healthy team with Melo as the SF and the Blazers are WCF contenders, even championship contenders.

I would trade anyone not named B-Roy for Melo without a second thought.


And I would seriously consider B-Roy but that would be a tough choice. I think I would have to pull the trigger due to durability issues. Roy probably isn't going to last as long in this league as Melo will.


It's nothing but a pipe dream though. The list of players as good or better then B-Roy is pretty fucking small. None of those guys are available for a team like Portland.

I know everybody always likes change in the off-season...

evidenced by this thread, this isn't true as many here seem that they'd be fine with some minor tinkering... no offseason goes by without at least some roster movement. While I'd love to see them do a big move that netted an upgrade in talent, I'd be fine with standing pat as well as this is a very solid team that should be coming into it's own. If they can run the gauntlet with a relatively injury free season I'd expect this roster to be one of the league's elite and just hammer clubs next season. My best guess is that the offseason drama fans are likely to be very disappointed the next few months
