For the past week or so, there have been reports that the Knicks and Rockets
have been engaged in trades talks with the goal of moving forward Carmelo
Anthony to Houston. At least one other team would be required to execute such
a move, and some have speculated that the Trail Blazers might be a willing
participant. The player most of these reports have coming back to Portland is
Rockets forward Ryan Anderson, who has three years at roughly $20 million a
year left on his current contract.

過去幾週一直有火箭跟尼克之間關於melo的交易，而拓荒者在這之間扮演的角色是做為三
方交易的一支球隊，大部分報導都指向了拓荒者會在這筆交易中獲得Ryan Anderson作為
回報。

But today, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the Trail Blazers aren't
interested in facilitating a trade between the Rockets and Knicks unless
PORTLAND is the team that ends up with Anthony. The 6-8 veteran forward out of
Syracuse has a no-trade clause, meaning he would have to agree to a trade to
Portland -- he reportedly is only willing to waive his no-trade clause in a
deal sending him to Cleveland or Houston -- though according to Wojnarowski,
the Trail Blazers are hoping he'd at least consider
the prospect of playing in Rip City...

但今天Woj爆料拓荒者對尼克跟火箭之間的交易案根本不感興趣，除非拓荒者最終是獲得
melo的那隻球隊。但是melo握有交易否決權，拓荒者希望melo可以考慮來拓荒者打球。

Houston and New York have pursued constructs of deals, but those are harder to
maintain in place with the Knicks retreating indefinitely on talks.

One of the teams that New York and Houston had hoped would facilitate a
multi-team trade for Anthony -- the Portland Trail Blazers -- only plans to
participate in a deal for Anthony if he decides to expand his no-trade clause
to include the Trail Blazers, league sources told ESPN.

Outside of Golden State, Portland believes the addition of a player such as
Anthony would furnish it with talent and depth comparable to those of the top
Western Conference contenders, league sources said. Because of that, the
Blazers have little, if any, inclination to facilitate an Anthony deal that
would land him with a Western Conference rival such as Houston, league sources
said.

The notion that Portland would facilitate a trade which would greatly improve a
Western Conference rival in exchange for Anderson always seemed a bit
specious. NBA trade partners do often times make for strange bedfellows, so it
not as if the idea could be summarily disregarded, but if Wojnarowski's
report is correct, the Trail Blazers might not have had much interest outside
of acquiring Anthony to begin with.
