But why?

 

[Cassano]

Portland will probably miss the playoffs now.

RIP Portland

[John Price]

His career was kind of derailed after he went to Houston

Be curious if he has anything left

 

[Mickey Marner]

Damn, throwing in the towel 12 games into the season.

Well all the "Carmelo needs a farewell tour" people will be happy.

I'm just happy it wasn't MJ who signed him.

Portland lost a bit of depth in the off season. Think this will help.

That's what Houston said too.

I forgot he even played for them.

I wonder how long his " I'll gladly come off the bench to help the team " crap will last ????

 

[Peiskos]

Portland needs all the help they can get, don’t see any downfalls here.

If were being honest it was derailed in 2007 when he signed a 5 year deal, not a 3 year deal like his best buds D-Wade & Bron. He was supposed to be the 3rd guy in a big 3 but chose the $$$ over flexibility. Then, again in 2014 he chose the money and will likely retire ringless.

I think he's the highest earning NBA player of all time (on court earnings only) or at worst he's behind Kobe & KG. So I guess he has that going for him, plus 3 Gold Medals.

Well all the "Carmelo needs a farewell tour" people will be happy.

I don't think he'll get one TBH. Doesn't have the same status as Wade + Dirk, nor is he as well-liked as them. Nuggets/Knicks might honor him but thats it.

Damn, Lonzo got fat and tan.

With their current situation he'll probably be getting as many minutes as he can handle.

Maybe he finally realized he is a shell of his former self and the only way he will have a remote chance at that elusive championship is if he shuts up and goes on when the coach says so.

Maybe - but he just doesn't strike me as a guy that will ever put the team ahead of his personal stats.

It’s still early, but Melo has put up good numbers for Portland so far.

 

[John Price]

Pleasantly surprised. He was left for done after the Houston mishap.
