    If Melo was so interested in Portland, he would waive his NTC for them. This is the same stuff the media was saying last month when Lillard/CJ first started recruiting him.

    Dude go back to Blazersedge or whatever hole you crawled out of. No matter how hard you try to make the blazers relevant to rockets fans, it simply won't work. This is not a blazers forum so stop posting about them, they are irrelevant when it comes to Carmelo or any star player looking to join a contender. Simply put, the trailblazers are not good enough and are far from being a contender. Accept that ****, and move the fck on. I'm tired of seeing you here posting the same **** 30 different ways. People come to this forum for Rockets news not for the fcking blazers. Please take that bs to their forum.

    The longer this drags on, the better for us.

    The longer it drags on, the higher chance of a buyout, which would allow us to pick him up and KEEP Anderson. Our team would be stacked as hell.

    but buyout means no bird rights right? so don't you think it will be very hard to sign him next year?

    The longer it goes, more variance comes into play. Harder to predict.

    So somehow this thread has devolved into Melo perhaps going to Portland, if simply because some sportswriter left a slight sliver of hope open because he is contractually obligated to adhere to Clause 666 of his new contract, which spells out "how to keep clickbait alive" and "how to keep fans of other teams interested"; and Carmelo is seen practicing with McCollum (or am I imagining that from a page or two back, like a mirage of a Coca Cola in a desert?) I do remember how McCollum and Lillard are working on Melo.

    Naturally we have another team's homer on here, teaching us the errors of our ways.

    McCollum sharing a basketball court with Melo is much like the dude who keeps hanging around someone else's hot girlfriend. Hey, she ain't married, right? She doesn't drink so he can't hope to take advantage of her when drunk, so he's biding his time, the "friend", hoping for her to have a fallout with the Main Guy so he can get some when she's vulnerable / looking for someone new, and then keep her around. Sometimes it happens. Usually it doesn't. The girl, for her part, knows his game, but is content to (a) have a semi-confidante in the meantime who she can (b) use to a small degree ("hey, I NEVER led him on") and (c) more or less discard when the Main Guy finally presents the engagement ring:

    "Let's do this!"

    "***HAPPY SQUEAL***!"

    And regarding Portland.....this is not the middle of Melo's career. He isn't trying to find the best place or fit for himself. This is the END of his career, and its becoming pretty clear that they are trying to make the Banana boat happen. Melo would be wonderful in Portland, but the guy clearly wants to play with his friends.

    Imagine a bench unit with Gordon Nene Anderson and Tucker. That's a starting lineup in the Eastern Conference. Then you know you have either Harden or Paul running point with them too. *******

    Lol. You ever been asked out by a girl that you didn't like and you didn't wanna be rude so you said: "oh yea, she's cool but ultimately not for me"?

    Even if Portland had a chance and was sending Harkless, that still means you gotta find 11 milli to send over as well. You don't have enough NGs to fill that void and no one wants those other guys available on those contracts. Come with something more substantive.
