Here come the Carmelo/Camby trade rumors...

We're going to see a lot of these Carmelo Anthony and Marcus Camby to the Nets trade rumors over the upcoming summer. The Nets will come up for two reasons: 1) former Nuggets GM Kiki Vandeweghe is now working under Nets President Rod Thorn (which is kind of funny considering it was Thorn who duped Vandeweghe into giving the Nets three number-one picks for Kenyon Martin). And 2) the Nets likely want to make a big deal and have a marquee player on their squad before moving to Brooklyn in two years.The question Nuggets fans must ask themselves is whether or not the Nets (or any team) can offer the Nuggets the Herschel Walker-type deal I keep referring to. Would Marcus Williams, Richard Jefferson, Nenad Krstic, Sean Williams and their lottery pick this summer be enough for Melo and Camby combined? Would New Jersey even give up that much for Melo and Camby? It's definitely something to think about.

Have the Nets draft him first and pull the trigger on the same night, have Stern announce it.
A SG that can handle the ball like a PG and score like Dwyane Wade and defend like he was Scottie Pippen?

But just say no to trading Carmelo. Well I shouldn't say that. I mean, if it's a huge, can't miss deal, then I guess do it. But under no circumstances would I just trade him for nothing.

if we're just playing with hypotheticals, what about Melo to the Warriors for Baron Davis? I think he could do well playing with AI, Kleiza, K-mart and Camby. Golden State (assuming Nelson is still there) would suit Melo.

Jefferson isn't at the top of his game anymore, while we don't see Marcus Williams being that great point guard anytime soon. First round picks? That seems fine. They should throw Shawne Williams into the deal too. That would be fine if I were the Nuggets GM.

Next season I think we just hope that AI moves to PG to give JR a starting role at SG and hope that Karl can get off his ass and motivate the team to play defense. People forget how much better Melo was offensively in the last half of the year.
A lot of us want action, but I'm willing to sit and wait a year, take Karl at his word (which may be a bad decision) and hope that a lot of the West falls back a bit after this banner year. I just don't see a whole lot of options. Lets just hope that we don't lose JR to a big offer we can't match as the owner of this blog stated earlier.

At this point the only trade that makes sense in return for Melo AND Camby would be the likes of McGrady AND Ming or Kobe AND Gasol or BRoy AND Oden, OR 3 Players in exchange for them that would IMPROVE the TEAM.
Antything other than that would be idiotic. Like what the Grizzlies did by giving up Gasol for nothing. The Nuggets need to get a deal like that. ;)

A trade that does work is Melo and Camby to Washington for Jameson and Arenas. Melo needs to leave Denver, he has done too much damage inside the locker room, and is too one dimensional. Camby is a solid leader and plays with passion and poise, but is only a defensive presence. Washington would gain value for Jameson, who wants out, and they would also gain value for Arenas because he will opt out if Jameson does not return. I could then see Washington trading Melo to NJ for Jefferson or and a draft pick, which would allow room for a Melo and Lebron pairing in NJ at the end of next season. This is almost a dream scenario for all parties involved because they will be filling needs without having to go through a huge rebuilding process.

A trade that does work is Melo, Atkins and Camby to Washington for Jameson and Arenas. Melo needs to leave Denver, he has done too much damage inside the locker room, and is too one dimensional. Camby is a solid leader and plays with passion and poise, but is only a defensive presence. Washington would gain value for Jameson, who wants out, and they would also gain value for Arenas because he will opt out if Jameson does not return. This would give the Nuggets an outside shooter that they desperately need, and would fill out their roster with more consistent scorers. The Nuggets could then pursue a mid level Center in free agency, and would be wise to try and trade up to get an impact Center in the draft.
I could then see Washington trading Melo and Stephenson to NJ for Jefferson, Carter and a draft pick, which would allow room for a Melo and Lebron pairing in NJ at the end of next season. This is almost a dream scenario for all parties involved because they will be filling needs without having to go through a huge rebuilding process.

most retarded statement ever.
Neither the rox, lakers or the blazers would do that...seriously man
Gasol is better than Camby and Kobe> Melo.. Plus they are gonna win a ship with that combo. And Melo in LA, that is a terrible situation for him considering all the trouble he gets into in DENVER
Yao is amazing and Tmac still has alot left in his tank. Rox would never trade Yao anyways, i like him better than Melo
If the blazers traded Oden and Roy all of Portland would set on fire. Roy is a young star himself and Oden has the potential to be the best center since Shaq. Seriously bro

like the poll says, what the people want on this sight are to fire George Karl and NOT TRADE ANYONE. noypi was merely making a point that no trade makes sense right now unless it's an unbelievably good one.
so, miketrainnc, do you have anything positive to bring to the discussion other than misunderstanding other posts and tagging them as retarded?

The nuggets have great personnel. They don't really need to trade anyone to compete. What they need is a coach who can teach all 12 players how to play TEAM DEFENSE. The nuggets should've fired karl after the lakers sweep and hired in my opinion rick carlisle or avery johnson, a good defensive coach.
I watch 82 nuggets games a season, and never get tired of watching melo. He shows up to every game and plays to win. He's an offensive force, and his rebounding improves every game. If the nuggets trade him ill move to brooklyn and start watching the nets. Its ridiculous to think that jefferson, marcus williams, and whatever first round pick could match the value of carmelo and camby. Carmelo was a first round pick! He led his team to a national championship as a FRESHMAN. The guy knows how to win. He's driven to win. The nugs just need a top notch coach to lead em to the top.
Having said all that, i was secretly hoping the nuggets wouldve jumped on the trade at the deadline that wouldve sent kleiza and draft picks to sacramento for artest. That wouldve been fun to watch, the second coming of the jailblazers, the most thug team of all time.
