The Melo Trade Thread

[WearShades]

Nuggets and Nets reportedly agree on deal, leaving Anthony to determine his own fate | ProBasketballTalk

The Nets would send rookie Derrick Favors, point guard Devin Harris, forward Troy Murphy with his expiring $11.9 million contract, rookie guard Ben Uzoh, and four first-round draft picks to the Nuggets for Anthony, point guard Chauncey Billups, forwards Renaldo Balkman and Shelden Williams, and center Melvin Ely.

The Nets would surrender their first-round pick for June’s NBA Draft along with a pair of 2012 picks (a protected-to-18 pick received from the Lakers and a protected-to-7 pick from the Warriors), and a 2011 lottery-protected Rockets pick.

The trade is contingent on Melo signing an extension, which so far seems unlikely. However, this could be just the kick in the rear the Knicks need to jump back into the trade discussion.

Either way, it looks like Melo will be in the Eastern Conference before too long. Discuss.

Just hope when its all over hes NOT a Knick

screw the knicks. i hope melo stays in the west. We don't need the east to be any tougher.

Wherever he goes, that team is still a ways away from being as good as the top tier teams in the East.

Seems like whoever gets him is giving up too much to be competitive right now. They might just be placing themselves in the ever horrible NBA purgatory (good enough to make the playoffs, not good enough to win a series).

Alright. Gar, I need you to call up denver, tell him about our amazing draft picks, then i need you to schedule a meeting with:






affallo.

It's ridiculous what this guy is doing. His current team is in the middle of a playoff race and he's meeting with owners of other teams.

Either way whichever team he goes to they still won't be good.

I can't stand Doug Gottlieb, but he brought up an interesting point in his radio show today. If Carmelo does meet w/ Prokorof, a deal could get done soon. Imagine what Prok could offer Melo outside of the world of basketball. I mean, the dude had a party for one of his friends by renting out a villa and inviting a shit load of prostitutes...That's Melo's kinda lifestyle.

This (so long as it isn't the Charlotte pick).
