Frontcourt yes but KCP/Ingram is actually probably middle of the pack

Durant & Melo are a wash
Is it close? Absolutely. Would Portland have a slight edge? Absolutely.

Melo will make the right financial decision for himself... always has.

Main reason he's willing to waive it for Houston and Cleveland is because his buddy CP3 and LeBron are there
I mean, if he can waive it for Houston, I dont see why he shouldn't waive it for Portland....Yeah, Houston has the bigger names, but Portland has the emergence of CJ McCollum, who is a great player.
Did you read my comment? It's because he wants to play with his buddy. No one close to him is in Portland. If he wants to win why he won't waive it for team like San Antonio, Toronto, well not like GSW need him.
He originally didn't even want to leave NY because he wants to stay close to his son. But Knicks want to trade him, so he said he's willing to waive it for Cleveland and Houston.

I read your comment...not every reply is an attack....Im just saying generally, that if he can waive it for Houston (who has good players) he should probably also be able to waive it for portland (who also has good players)

Durant & Melo are very different calibers of star, and this difference would be the biggest obstacle to contend with.
