It is no secret that the Rockets are looking to acquire Carmelo Anthony. The Portland Trail Blazers at first seemed to be the third team involved in the deal, but then they showed interest in getting Melo for themselves.
After the Blazers struck out on that venture, they seem to be back as the potential third team in the trade. Would Portland help out Houston trade for a player that they tried to acquire?
Why It Seems Like Portland Would Help
According to various rumors/reports, the Blazers were willing to take on contracts and be involved in the Melo trade originally.
