Portland board:

No news of him signing anywhere.
Based on how out of shape he was after the lock out on a contract year none the less, how badly he played and as much of a locker room cancer he was I hope he doesn't make a NBA roster.



The biggest loser is probably the only place he'd find where competitors have a worse work ethic than he does.



Felton screwed himself out of a potential huge payday. The Blazers handed him the best opportunity he will ever have. The sad thing is he showed he had the talent. He also showed he didn't have the work ethic and professionalism.


Our PG of the future is already here, my friends.

If Melo has something to say it should be, "I want him back, he's my teammate, he will help us." Other wise he should STFU! If he doesn't stick up for him then any comment looks like he is glad he's gone or doesn't care. So in that case, keep your mouth shut.

Ok I've been bashing Melo but this is better than his earlier quotes.

I like that he's getting testy. Fire back.


Yeah man, how dare fans get annoyed at him after he led us to so many...oh wait.


Lin came up big in the playoffs for this team

Nah, he just didn't have enough motivation. Now that he has a fat 4-year deal, and is no longer in a contract year, he'll have more motivation.

I can honestly say this is the first day I've ever hated Melo. Supported him all last season, even when he was sucking. Kept saying he'd turn it around eventually.

But now...yep, he can go f himself.
