Nuggets Trying To Send Melo To The Wolves, Kings And Nets

cousins is gonna be a beast and tyreke is gud i mean he could be great. they wont contend for a ’ship now but they could in 2yrs if they add more pieces but i doubt the kings will be able to keep both cousins and tyreke if they get melo

that if this is who the Nugs want to trade him to, that he’ll be going there. The only team I’ve heard that makes a lick of sense is the Rockets..but what do they have to offer?

And I said it in another thread, but Melo basically makes the Rockets “complete”, meaning they can’t really add anything other then some MLE type carcasses Once they’d get Melo’s 20+ mill on the books, they’re done. Plus, Brooks, Martin and Melo are 3 shooters. No slashers…just shooters…that really doesn’t work.

they could give fuck about what Carmelo wants. But The Timberwolves, Nets and Kings are teams full of future draft picks, and very young players on their teams. Denver could get a number of solid future talent from those teams, plus multiple draft picks.

Yeah Carmelo has to approve if it is a sign & extend… and he won’t unless its NJ (which Im sure hed consider). But yeah this is also just another sign that nothing is imminent.

Think about it, the Nuggets have went to 3 of the worst teams in the NBA and told them “We want to hear offers for Carmelo”. They’re only hoping that one of the teams are dumb enough to trade for Melo and hope he extends with them. There are some pretty dull brain people in this world and they have to make the call to these teams just to see if they bite. They’re gonna call every team to hear what they have to say. I don’t think he’ll be traded to one of these teams but I think the report may be accurate.

the Nets are the only ones that could possibly have a chance at contending if they added Melo. So I think they’re the only option up there.

so Newark for 2 years ain’t exactly gonna bother him

They have a good coach and a sound starting 5, I still don’t think they’ll make it to the playoffs but they are better and they’ll get wins because alot of teams will still think of them as that same nba laughing stock as last season. They’ve made significant changes and I should also note as much as they sucked ass last year….they did still kinda beat us.

y didnt denver contact the wizards. they could at least get gilbert…lol i jus wanted to say that bkuz i went to the denver blog and noticed they wish for us to get arenas smh we’re hated everywhere

But Denver actually holds some cards here. They dont want to lose Anthony for nothing, obviously.

But if you think about it, well, Carmelo wants that max extension and he doesn’t sign it this season, he aint gonna get that same money after this new CBA is figured out. So Denver could find a package they like and go right to Melo and say “Hey, if you want out, this is your ticket. If you want your extension, this is the only way you are getting it.” So even if that team is NJ, Melo’s choice would be:

1. Sign Extension, play in NJ (or whatever team is willing to deal with Denver)
2. Hold out for the season so you can choose your own team and leave the extension money on the table.

Yeah, Denver could get nothing for Carmelo, but they have to be willing to play that card if they want to get an ideal package back.

Kahn burns down Minnesota. Post it on their site and let the recs pour in.

rubio definitely aint playing in denver. so yes this wud be ideal

KAHN!!!

I agree

if the t-wolves are dumb enough 2 sign darko…

I shit you not, I was just reading one of the Canis Hoopus’ Carmello threads and someone actually suggests the Wolve’s would be crazy to include Darko in a trade for Melo!

Now, I didn’t see anyone agreeing with this so it’s hard to say this is the majority opinion but really???

I thought Darko kinda got the shaft and wasn’t given much of a chance here but still…and people thought not giving Gallo up was ridiculous.

I’d join that. Anyone know if there’s a P&T fantasy league for the upcoming season? Seth where are ya buddy?

but that trade wouldnt get past the secretary.

so don’t get me wrong all I wanna do is see the Knicks win, but trashing other teams doesn’t help us win.

I should add the Nets annoy me habitually but even if we are 2 1/2 time better than them…they still did beat us last season. Also, last season is last season, doesn’t have jack to do with this upcoming one. They have a much different team as do we.

If you sleep on anybody once to often they’re liable to strike when you least expect.

and keeps K Love they could do some real damage.

Seriously, this is required reading for anyone who feels strongly about this trade one way or the other.

Assuming Melo wants to play in NY as badly as it seems, the crux of his decision is whether wasting two years of his prime rebuilding/in Newark is worth the extra dough he could be guaranteed. Make no mistake, he will be a super-ultra-megastar once the team moves to BK, but he’ll have to waste 2 peak years for it. If he wants to only go to the Knicks badly enough, he’ll just refuse to re-up anywhere else and force the Nuggs to take any trade just so they can get something. The problem with relying on that strategy, even if Melo is set on NY, is that an immediate contender can make an offer that Melo basically can’t refuse. That’s why the Knicks need to include something of value (i.e. Randolph OR Gallo). It just needs to be good enough where the Nuggs brass can even look their fans in the eyes afterward and contenders won’t say “well if that’s all its gonna take”. Chandler, Buike, ECC, and Walker doesn’t achieve that goal.

Glad to know.
