Melo to the Blazers

Is Melo hungry to prove something and comes back a bit humbled and pissed? My guess is yes. Does he play defense for a few weeks at least? Perhaps. But... the more likely story...
 
They Blazers probably figure Crymelo can't shoot and worse than their bench:

Bazemore at 35.8%
Trent Jr. at 33.3%
Hezonja at 31.9%
Little at 31.6%
Tolliver at 24.4%

Skal and Simons are their only current bench players who aren't shooting a paltry percentage. And it's going to be tough to win in the West at 7-deep.

Crymelo may be a piece of crap for a good team but I think he has the potential to give the thin Blazers bench some scoring at 40%+ from the field.
 
To me this just seems to be grasping at straws for an answers. Portland hasn't played well so far and they are looking for something to jumpstart their season.

Portland: We screwed up our defensive versatility and our offensive efficiency in the offseason. Let's sign Carmelo Anthony. Should fix it

LOL
 
Not trying to step on JazzAvenues toes, but here are a few quotes I thought were funny from RealGM from Blazers fans.:

1- I hope beyond hope that he doesn't screw things up more and can add positive value to the team and put his ego aside.

2- Lol. Worst part is that I love it. We're already pretty bad. Wth, maybe we could use Melo.
And I'll never write off the power that Lillard haves to turn guys into our culture.
Just hope he comes off the bench

3- Have you seen the Blazers roster? They need him to start just out of desperation. I’ll take Melo over Tolliver. Neither is awesome. If nothing else, this is gonna be an awesome trainwreck and adds some interest to what was looking to be a snoozer of a season.

4- Putting a vet with an ego in a locker room full of young guys trying to make their imprint could screw things up more. But, I'll be optimistic and think that from a basketball perspective, Portland will be better.

5- I don't know about a dumpster fire. A disaster on a vet minimum salary is more like a garbage pale fire. I wonder if the deal is guaranteed. He might have to get past that January date before he gets his full pay. This whole thing might be a trial balloon.


6- This is the best team of 2013.


7- This is like having a famous model past her prime. 10 years from now, when Melo is inducted into the HOF. We can say, we had him.


8- Oh man this literally made me laugh out loud. Feels like something Whitsitt would do. I see this experiment lasting maybe 20 games. But if the Blazers were trying to get my attention... they just did.


9- Christ. I was doing pretty good at staying sober so far this season now that my 'take a drink every time Turner does a spin move' game is out the window. It's just been replaced by 'Carmelo takes two jab steps and shoots and misses a 20 footer'. I would honestly rather see more time going to Little and Hoard at the SF or PF position. I don't think Carmelo at this stage can contribute any more to the W column than either of those two...

Dame's salary on the back-end of his contract is on par with the GDP of Costa Rica.

Having said that, they'll never dump him. It'll be McCollum first and I wouldn't want my fingerprints anywhere near that train wreck.

Besides, Portland's salary cap situation really isn't that bad - Nurkic is insanely underpaid and they don't have any bad/long term contracts other than CJ.

dame won’t get dumped... some of the other posters talking nonsense. If they were willing to move him we should jump in line.
 
Buddy of mine is a Blazers fan... I got to point and laugh at him.

hot take.... Melo will help them! I mean they are playing Tolliver and Hezonja for hells sakes... those guys are worse defenders and I think Melo gives them more than those dudes. That said I’m sure DM has Portland circled on the calendar... he gonna go for 50.

I dunno... he’s got 5 more years left on his deal after this year... climbs up to $50M and ultimately $54M. If we re-up Rudy and Donovan, most people will no longer need a VPN to see Jazz games in a few years, if you catch my drift.

He’s also like a top ten nba player... top tier nba players make lots of money. It’s not even a discussion... if they decided to move him teams would line up with expiring contracts draft picks and young players... we couldn’t even make a competitive offer... this guy ain’t John Wall.

I've been at my local cable outlet all day making sure I have the NBA package so I can watch the December 26th game when Melo the Jazz killer single-handedly humiliates the Jazz. 30 points by the first half. After that then Melo the Jazz killer gets angry and the real Jazz humiliation begins.

First time in my life I am looking forward more to the day after Christmas than Christmas.
