supposedly Lillard in an interview just said he has spoken to Melo and there is a real chance he goes to Portland. Rotoworld reports.
Fake news. I just listed to the interview on SiriusXM NBA Radio. CJ hasn't even spoken to Melo. He said he "reached out" but hasn't spoken - hopes to speak to Melo in the weeks to come. If CJ calls Melo he's probably like - how'd you get my number. Lol.
http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/20106267/portland-trail-blazers-trying-sell-carmelo-anthony-team Two member of the Portland Trail Blazers say they've reached out to Carmelo Anthony in an attempt to sell the New York Knicks star on their team. All-Star Damian Lillard and teammate CJ McCollum, speaking Wednesday at the former's basketball camp, said Anthony sounded intrigued by the idea. "I think he's interested," McCollum reportedly said. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported over the weekend that Anthony, a 10-time All-Star, still is counting on the Knicks to carry out their previously agreed upon mandate to trade him to the Houston Rockets. The 33-year-old has been willing to waive his no-trade clause for Houston and the Cleveland Cavaliers, but in recent weeks, he has begun to prioritize a trade to the Rockets to join Chris Paul and James Harden over one to the Cavaliers and LeBron James, league sources said. One team that New York and Houston had hoped would facilitate a multiteam trade for Anthony was Portland, but league sources told Wojnarowski that the Trail Blazers only plan to participate in a deal for Anthony if he decides to expand his no-trade clause to include them. That, however, is not an option for Anthony, sources said. Perhaps to get Anthony used to the idea of appearing in Trail Blazers' colors, McCollum posted a photo of Anthony in a Portland jersey on Instagram over the weekend as a seemingly passive recruiting pitch to the Knicks star.
Won't be shocked at this point if we get a WOJ bomb that Melo has been traded to Portland in the next 2 weeks.
I have a real shot at banging Jessica Alba, it just turns out that I'm busy the only night she's available.
