Too bad he and Brandon aren't BFFs
that seems to be what NBA superstar want to do these days, make it a threesome
When reached 40 years of following Portland basketball you have, be as passionate of the Trail Blazers you will not!
Apparently agents are now running the NBA......
lovely……..
Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company.
it's better than david stern
I love B Edge almost as much as I love B Roy and close to my love for B atum
that is so lame. Being loyal to a city is all the responsibility you have
when you are being paid millions to play basketball during the length of the contract…
WITH ODEN ON OUR SIDE
Well, technically, he's not forcing a trade.
He’s telling them he plans not to sign their extension offer and giving them a chance to get value for him in a sign-and-trade deal. Or he can walk after this season and they get nothing.
After seeing Cleveland left with nothing
I expect to see him traded to this offseason.
Moment of clarity
The Nuggets with Carmello peaked
start over and get some draft picks

So, where will he go?
I doubt he is traded to New York because they can’t offer Denver anything. Maybe Orlando in a package involving Vince Carter’s expiring contract? That would make them a scary team.
He’ll go to the Lakers for Bynum and Odom.

Terribly trade for the Lakers.
You can measure skill and talent with your eyes, but productivity is shown through statistics.
oh, please, please, please go east.
Go to New Jersey.
Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company.
the hot faves are NJ and the Clips
I’d trade Melo to the Clips for Griffin, Aminu and Craig Smith.
Sterling will make that trade in a heart beat. The clippers will be sold out every night and he’ll finally have the superstar he’s coverted for so long.
The team will be contenders and Denver gets to reload with some young talent.

If the players pull this crap off, it could be the ruin of the NBA.
Why would the fans of some “unfavored” city be motivated to watch their team not have any chance of winning? This is serious! Geez, I feel like Dean Wormer.
The Dude abides.
Thank you, Carmello!
Utah overpays the talent they have, and loses the talent they don’t. Utah is fading into the sunset.
Now Carmello is trying to blow up the Nuggets.
And unless they find a front line, the Thunder shouldn’t get past the Blazers.
So … Thank You, Carmello Anthony!
Go Blazers! NW Division Champions!
In KP I trusted!
so you want to be one of those default best teams that isn't really strong but benefits from the lack of competition?
no thanks.
Please, for the love of all that is holy, please stop using the following: "Book it.", "FTW", "Epic" & "Fail".
...no seriously--stop.
was there any reason given for his wanting to leave?
i’m kinda curious about it. Its not like the Nugz are a bad team.
Moving On.
Billups is at the end of his career, and Carmelo likely believes that Denver is soon going to have to rebuild the team. Like any player, he’d like to play during his prime (26-30) in a city where he thinks the trajectory is up, not flattening out or declining. After his next contract, he’ll have one more shot. Portland is keeping its talent right now because it’s a young team, and with a little health, has its best years in front of it.
