He wants to be a starter. Very few teams were probably willing to acquiesce to his demands. That is different than saying that no one wants him.
I only want to be a starter in the NBA too. I guess that means that it isn't true that no NBA teams want me!

IF you really believed that someone was going to pick him up then you would not have continued to reference the fact that he wasn't signed with anyone. It would not have been necessary if you truly believed in the reason provided as to why he wasn't signed.
I didn't know if a team was going to pick him up or not. That is what you don't seem to understand. He took nearly a full year off of basketball and given what Houston thought of him it clearly wasn't by choice.
So let's make this easy. Will Carmelo last the season with the Blazers? Will he be a starter all season?
So you are pivoting from celebrating that he isn't in the NBA anymore to celebrating that he may not be starting in the NBA anymore. Take the L (everyone knows that you will not) and simply push on.
I provided the evidence. You constantly pumped the fact that he wasn't in the league even as no one (including me) was discussing him. Now you just simply look silly but we know that will not stop you from forging on.
You lost this one. There will be other battles to fight.
For the record I believe that he will last the year with Portland. Don't know and don't care whether he starts or not. He actually looked good all things considered.
None of this changes the fact that you believed that his career was effectively over.
Sometimes the silly trolling can get the best of a guy. This would be one of those times.
