Carmelo Anthony's people are trying a Hail Mary attempt to get him to Houston (Knicks won't do it) ... before he accepts a deal to Portland



I don't think that would make Portland better than us because you can't form a defense with just 2 defenders. We've tried that before, it doesn't work. But guys like Zach Lowe seem to think Melo fits very well there and would make them a lot better. I guess they could end up being a high powered offense like Houston with a good enough defense, but I really don't see how Aminu can guard the entire perimeter by himself. And if the perimeter is leaky that really reduces how effective Nurkic can be protecting the rim.

I'm perfectly ok with Melo going West. He's a bum

What would Portland be giving up to get Melo?

per my 2k18 he signs with us at 39, but never gets a ring.

good news: we do in the 2018-19 season
