Re: blow it up
The problem with trading Melo is that you probably won't get close to equal value back for him. He is a great player, but is percieved as a malcontent after his comments.
Memphis for example has no reason whatsoever to give up Rudy Gay for him.
Portland would love him, but they are in the same division and wouldn't trade any of Roy, Aldridge or Oden for him.
Miami would become contenders in the weak *** leastern conference, but other than the potential #1 pick they have nothing to offer that wouldn't hurt them by trading the asset away.
You would probably be looking at players who are young and have shown the ability to contribute, and also a big salary player who is expiring. Knowing the Blazers best it would be a combination of players like
Outlaw
Jack
Frye
Webster
And picks
along with a player like Lafrentz aho comes off the books at the end of next season.
