The possible Melo trade: Is this really the BEST we can do?...

The rumors are continuing to swirl about a possible Carmelo Anthony/Marcus Camby trade to the New Jersey Nets for Richard Jefferson, Marcus Williams, Keith Van Horn's corpse and what will probably be the 13th pick in this year's NBA Draft.

As I've stated on this blog ad nauseum, while I'm not convinced that parting with Melo is the right thing to do, IF the Nuggets decide to make that move, shouldn't they at least field...I dunno...more than one @#$%& offer?! Are you telling me that the Nets would be the only team with a lottery pick motivated to get Melo?!

Did Bernie Bickerstaff take over as GM again and the Nuggets forgot to tell anyone? To Stanley Kroenke, Mark Warkentien, Bret Bearup and Rex Chapman: if you're reading this, I implore you...please, please, please wait a few weeks for the offers to come in and then take the best one. You see, it's called "leverage"...something the Nuggets haven't used to their advantage in, well, forever.

On a side note: isn't it interesting that Jefferson - the son of Christian missionaries and by all accounts a super nice, religious guy - got himself entangled in a misdemeanor assault case this year and now he's on Warkentien's radar? I guess RJ was just getting ready to fit in with his new Denver teammates.

PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF EVERYTHING HOLY DO NOT TRADE MELO!!!!

This is an overwhelmingly awful, horrendous, unconscionable deal if it goes through. It's so bad I can't stop using over-the-top adjectives to describe it. Nugs are out of playoff contention with this deal (unless JR quickly blooms into an all-star starter), with only a crappy draft pick and an expiring contract to rebuild with. Surely this is only a rumor.

All of my friends in Portland are hoping the Nuggets are stupid enough to make this trade. Because this would almost guaranteed Blazers a playoff spot with Denver falling to third in the Northwest, who knows even 4th if Iverson opts outs.

The King and Melo in 2010 in Brooklyn!!!! Kiki is going for exec. of the year already.

RJ has never been an all-star, yet they want to give up two all stars for the sake of none. This is a terrible trade, even Andre Miller had been an all-star when he was traded for Iverson. If we seriously want to trade Melo, I would think that a Carmelo for Deng and Nocioni would be appropriate. Or A Melo and Camby for Michael Redd, Villauenva, Bogut and Sessions would be more sensible. Or we could trade as crazy as it sounds Daniels, O'neal and Dunleavy for Melo and Camby. All these deals in my opinion are better than the Jefferson deal.

Would trade with the Nets only if we get Devin Harris and Richard Jefferson....That is the only way I even consider making a deal with the Nets. Something like this will link Kiki, and the Nets with the Nuggets forever.....two fleecings...

I suppose i will play the devils advocate since everyone else hates this trade. Heres why I would take this trade:
1. The most important of all is this trade gives us extra cash, in the neighboorhood of 7 million
2. Jefferson play defense and wouldn't try to be the star of the team
3. With the thirteenth pick (assuming they get the worst end of the lottery, right now new jersey is odds on to make the tenth pick) the nuggets take Russel Westbrook, 6-4 Point guard out of UCLA, he's a pass first hard working guard who can play defense and still has scoring ability.
4. With the 20th pick you hope Donte Green slides and you can get him if not take Nikola Pekovic out of Serbia, he's a good post scorer and scrapper around the basket.

Rotation: With this the nuggets could have a starting five of: AI, J.R., Jefferson, K-mart and Nene, you take J.R. out first and put in Kleiza, then you pull out either Nene or Martin and put in either Green or Pekovic, Then pull Martin or Nene, whoevers left and put in Krstic, then you give AI a break put in westbrook and put JR back in and pull Kleiza, Then AI comes back in with Nene or Martin and green,pekovic and Westbrook come out and finally martin/nene comes in and Krstic comes out.

I don't think this line up wins a championship next year but its just as competitive as last year plus we wouldn't have to run all crazy up and down the court.

Don't underrate RJ. He's a great player. My issue with the proposal is throwing Camby in there. Both he and Melo together are definitely worth more than what that deal is. The 13th pick is little more than a throw-in--if it was higher lottery, then I would maybe consider it.

by MIchael on May 19, 2008 3:52 PM MDT reply actions   0 recs

I refuse to believe that Kroenke would let this happen unless New Jersey miraculously ends up with a top-3 pick. He can't be retarded enough to set back the franchise a whole decade.

Uh! Why are people wanting to give up on Carmelo so soon? Sure, he's never going to be as good as LeBron or Wade. GET OVER IT! That doesn't mean he can't still be a major part of a championship team. He's still a top 5 scorer in the entire league. That's useful. Trading him AND another top tier center for one above-average veteran swingman is completely insane. I can't imagine taking anything for Melo other than someone with near equal pedigree.

by Mateo on May 19, 2008 4:07 PM MDT reply actions   0 recs

WHY IS EVERYONE SO UPTIGHT ABOUT TRADING MELO? He has a monster contract that is eating up cap space, which prevents them from making additional moves to better the franchise. The offense halts when the ball is in his hands. He is a liability in the locker room and on defense. His off court issues show that he is more interested in being a career criminal than a professional basketball player. The Nuggets have invested 5 years of time into grooming Melo into being the face of the franchise, and the closest that we have seen him come to meeting this goal is seeing his face in a mugshot. He is a good offensive player, but will never be a great basketball player. Moving him while they can still get value out of him is the right thing to do in order for the franchise to continue to move forward.

Of all the thugs on the Nuggets roster this season, the only one who made an honest effort at playing defense and within the team concept was JR Smith.

If I am the Nuggets, i'm doing everything in my power to get a Jefferson/Harris/Draft Pick out of New Jersey for Camby/Melo. If that does not pan out, then I make a strong push to get Miller/Igoudala/Draft Pick from Phily for Camby/Melo. I would also be trying to contact the Clippers about Brand/Magette/Livingston to see what their availability is. I also like the idea of Redd/Villanueva/Bogut from Milwaukee for Melo/Camby, although I don't see the Bucks willing to give up this much.

No matter how you slice it, Melo's days in Denver are over (and if they are not, they should be). We could rattle off a list of 20 quality trades that would improve the franchise coming in to next season. The point is, the Nuggets should be patient and wait a couple of weeks so that they can make an informed decision about the future of their franchise rather than make a hasty decision tomorrow that could deter progress by the team as a whole.

great trade away your 23 yearold star that you are paying 10mill a year. someone who avged 22points and 9.5 reb a game durring the playoffs.
and keep your 33 year old superstar tha tyou are paying well over 20 million a year. a pointgaurd who avged 24pt and 4 assist durrring the playoffs. and don't forget he was a no show durring last years playoffs.
Why is there no talk about trading AI??? 20 mill expiring contract next year? an undersized shooting gaurd that at his prime was the probalby the most amazing player ever, but he is NOT in his prime anymore

Not some "fly-by-night" perenial losers like the ones in Denver! You people wouldn't know quality if it stopped & took a dump on your lawns! Send Melo "home" to the East Coast! Go ahead- we dare you!

Melo is the fall guy for a "run and gun offense" Change the system, not the star.
If nuggs trade #15, I'll watch the games next season just to cheer against them.
I won't be able to stand looking at players like Kmart, Nene, and Iverson. Players that are here because of Melo. Not to mention their coaching staff who can outlast Melo winning only 3 playoff games? It will ruin the nuggs if they do this. Back to 15 wins a season.

There is not a word spoken today in the english language that could describe the idiocy of this deal. You better be screwing around with this. Does everyone think it's a coincedence that we have been to the playoffs for five straight years since Melo has been here. Y'all are sick in the head. Here are Nuggets who deserve your frustration: Mark Macon, Chris Jackson, Laphonso Ellis, Nene, Skita, Julius Hodge, Frank Williams, Mamadou N'diaye,Raef LaFrentz,Tony Battie,Efthimios Rentzias,Bryant Stith. Carmelo is on pace to be the second leading scorer OF ALL TIME. Keep your perspective. We're all a little frustrated with the decisions and work habits of a 23 year old kid who had a truck load of money dumped in his lap. That's no reason to give up on him.

If you get Harris and Jefferson and their #1 pick, it is a good trade and adios Mr. Melo. Melo is an East Coast creature, and they'll put up with his antics on the East Coast as well. He is a big fish in a small pond here.

PUHLEEZE Do IT! Pull the trigger! Melo is a "natural" for this area which is filled with Big East & Syracuse alumni! It's all anyone's talking about here in NYC! Jay-Z, Melo, & the Brooklyn Nets! It'll be soooo great to watch you guys losing next year! And to paraphrase Jim Mora:"Playoffs? Playoffs- we'll be lucky to win another game"! That's what you IDOITS will be saying NEXT year. You'll be stuck with Karl, that atrocious management, & a boring, struggling, griping basketball team! But then again, you won't have a 23 yr. old prima donna right? Who BTW- will be leading the Brooklyn Nets to the playoffs & more here on the E. Coast! Trade him- we're beggin' you!

I have a theory-management wants to blow up the team this year, but can't do it if Iverson doesn't opt out. So by making a horrendous Melo trade rather than wait for an offer that can keep them somewhat competitive, they ensure that Iverson opts out and the rebuilding begins. Brilliant!

Oh except that the nugs still have 2 albatross contracts (K-mart and Nene) that will prevent any rebuilding for 3-4 years. Welcome back to late 90s/early 0s nuggets fans!

This Carmelo trade is seriously getting attention now. I'm not inherently upset about it but, I still believe we could at least get Kristic involved in the deal. This trade will be extremely dependent on the draft tonight. If the Nets get one of the top 3 pics, By October, there is no doubt in my mind he will be in Jersey by the time it's all said and done.
But this is a terrible trade for the Nets. You will end up having Carter and Anthony who yes will draw people but will have absolutely no chemistry since they both demand the ball.
In the end this is all George Karl's doing, he is pissed as hell that Anthony actually challenged him during the playoffs. All those who challenge Karl beware, he has become a dictator, he owns the Nuggets management (why do you think, Carter started as the PG, and we didn't get Artest.) So beware. Andrew you beware too, you have no idea how far Karl's hand can reach.

Dino Costa was doing cartwheels on his program today over the thought of Melo being dumped out of town.

I can't say I disagree with him. After all this is a player who is as Costa said, very one dimensional with no interest in doing anything with the basketball except trying to score.

Other points that I agreed with was the fact that the Nuggets need a culture cleansing (Costa's words) in that locker room, as well as the ability to free up cap space to remake the team.

Melo is a bad guy and you can almost predict when the next off the court bad news episode will happen.

Here's the one thing I most agreed with what Costa had to say today: Is there anyone in their right mind who believes that bringing back this exact same cast next season with the same head coach is going to get different results?

Verdict: Anthony guilty on all counts. TRADE HIM NOW!

by Anonymous on May 20, 2008 1:39 PM MDT reply actions   0 recs

Incorrect, Karl guilty on all accounts! Get rid of the coach now. Back to the basement with this trade for the nuggets. Welcome back to the draft lottery in the coming years. We trade Anthony, Iverson will opt out and sign with another team. And Karl will have a bunch of no names that can't do shit in the western conference. We will not make the playoffs for at least 5 years if this trade happens. Mark my words, I guarantee it.

Dino has a great radio show I'll give him that. But take what he says with a few grains of salt. Dino has been anti-Melo ever since Melo refused to appear on Dino's tv show last year after Dino showed up ready to do the interview and Melo canceled his appearance very late. Dino has had sharpened fangs for Melo ever since then. I'd much rather see George Karl get the boot instead of Melo being traded.

I have no idea who Dino Costa is- probably some small town HICK, playing at being knowledgeable about the NBA! The problem is that there apparently are plenty of other "Know-nothings" in Denver, who're more than willing to make this trade! If your stupid team does this ie; Trade Melo, check back with us next year, & tell everyone what Dino Costa says as your team sits out the playoffs! "Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got TILL IT'S GONE"?

Even though I don't think Carmelo is a real franchise player (or superstar for that matter) and probaly won't ever be what some Nuggets fans expect him to be, I don't think the Nuggets should trade him so soon. Give him a few more years to develop. I wouldn't build a team around Carmelo, but I would have him on my team though. I think that under the right amount of effort and Coaching that Carmelo will be fine.

Besides, I don't know why people are giving so much thought into this, they are not trading Carmelo. Listening to offers does not mean they are definatly trading the guy. Relax, it happens to EVERY player in every circumstance. Thats life. Carmelo better start producing more then just points though and start showing maturity and at least an ounce of leadership..because if he doesn't, in a few more years the trade talk will become more of a reality.

"Why is there no talk about trading AI??? 20 mill expiring contract next year? an undersized shooting gaurd that at his prime was the probalby the most amazing player ever, but he is NOT in his prime anymore"

^^ What world do you live in? Thats all some fans have been talking and crying about...trading Iverson.Iverson is STILL an amazing player which amazingly seems to still be playing in his prime (he outplays everyone on that Nuggets team)I watched Iverson when he played on the sixers..and he NEVER looked as confused in a system as he does on the Nuggets, ever. So i'll say this..I think in the right system both Carmelo and Iverson could work together and do great things...but the fact is that out of the players in the starting line up neither Iverson or Camby (who have each been to the NBA Finals once) or Kenyon (who has been to the NBA finals twice) have never had much of a problem being on teams that advanced in the playoffs...they come to the Nuggets and all of a sudden its a problem.

So my point is, wether people like to hear it or not, the constant here is Carmelo and Coach Karl, who for the past four years together can't seem to buy a playoff win no matter if it is with a pure PG (Andre Miller) or making a trade for a Superstar player (Iverson). This is why people are starting to question Carmelo and rightfully so. Regardless of what desperate fans want to try to throw a player like Iverson (a player that is already proven) under the bus by acting as if he's "lost a step" (some of you probably wouldn't know what a player "playing in his prime" means..give me a break), the fact is that the guy is already going to the hall of fame, and came to the Nuggets to try to help the team contend and make them relevent in a very flawed system. I feel more bad for that guy then for that franchise at this point. If Carmelo gets traded, what makes anyone think Iverson would even stay in Denver? The guy spent 11 years of his career caring teams on his back, what makes you think he would want to carry this one? He will almost certainly leave. And then that franchise will really be in deep sh*t. I feel like Iverson should leave anyway, he deserves better. The guy busted his ass to try to help the team out, had one of the best seasons of his career...and what thanks does he get? Having some of the most embarrassing loses and moments of his entire career on the Nuggets. SMH, you're right, Iverson should get traded..just to ensure that Franchise doesn't ruin the rest of his amazing career.

Bulls fan wonders if you'd take:

Deng, Hinrich, and D.Gooden for

Melo, Nene, & S.Hunter.

Helps with your cap, and gives you 3 useful building blocks.

by Anonymous on May 21, 2008 2:17 PM MDT reply actions   0 recs

to the anonymous Bulls fan... that might work. With no other changes, the Nuggets would have a starting lineup of:

Iverson
Hinrich
Deng
Martin
Camby

and as bench/backup:

Carter
Smith
Kleiza
Najera
Gooden

The big advantage that Melo has shown vs. Deng is an ability to post up forwards and score in the paint. That would be a hole after that trade, though the outside shooting could improve with the combo of Deng and Hinrich.

the downside is that, historically, trades of the 2-for-1 variety (just going by starters) favor the team who got the 1 star. And Iverson might be less inclined to bust his butt for a team without another star.

by Mike on May 21, 2008 2:32 PM MDT reply actions   0 recs

I like Hinrich, Deng and Thomas for Melo and Camby as a deal more then giving up Nene, who, if he can just stay healthy, has definite all star potential. And we won't have Najera next year mike, he's as good as gone. I think Hinrich gives us a huge upgrade at the point while Deng, like mike said not as good in the post, but may i remind you infinitely better at D and character, is only a small downgrade. Thomas who knows if he pans out but with that much upside how can you not take the guy.

by Zachm219 on May 21, 2008 2:55 PM MDT reply actions   0 recs

Anonymous Bulls fan is surprised that you folks are still holding out hope for Nene. I've always liked his game. Is he supposed to be 100% next year?

I'd hate to give up Tyrus, who will average 14 pts / 9 rbs / 2 blocks sometime soon. But I'd include TT in the deal as long as the Bulls kept Gooden and Camby was coming back.

I'll contact the league office and let them know there's an agreement.

The Nuggets need a change. There's a reason they've been knocked out of the first round for how many straight years now?

Is it Karl? Who knows. It could be the player(s) -- remember Larry Brown and the Knicks. He was regarded (and still is, to those who know) as an excellent coach before that crazy situation.

Karl hasn't been fired, God knows why. I think trading Melo might be a good idea -- not necessarily this deal (I'll have to look into it further). He can be so much more, but he just isn't there. Will another year do it? I don't know. All I know is I always get scared in tense situations in a game when either Camby or Melo has the ball, because God knows they'll probably turn the ball over in some stupid manner, or throw up a brick.

just a comment on the "trading camby improves our offensive efficiency" offense more often than not starts at the point guard. trade Iverson for chris paul or Darren Williams and see how well our offense runs. but obviously those teams would never make that trade. I'd even love to have Andre miller instead of AI. Miller got the same sixers team to playoffs that AI couldn't, because he gets his team involved and is a point guard. (and i know eastern conference sucked this year, but hasn't been good for a LONG time)

A.)Only one thing, Iverson isn't a PG..he's a combo SG and they didn't trade for Iverson to play the PG position, i'm not sure what part of that people don't understand.

B.) They had Andre and they were one and done in the playoffs still, care to answer why? And when Andre was there fans still complained.

C.) You must not watch 76er basketball. Iverson led almost that same team (only less expierenced) to a better record and the playoffs the season before he left the Sixers. If you are going to try to argue anything against Iverson at least state facts. And pleas do not even attempt to compare anything of what Andre has done in Philly, compared to what Iverson, a hall of fame player, did for Philly..you'll get laughed off this forum. The more and more I read this stuff the more I start to think a lot of people that post here don't know a thing about basketball. Please for the love of god just stop yourselves now. smh

THE STIFF LIST (as of 3/8 by Andrew)

STIFF #1: K-MART'S LEFT KNEE
Best-case scenario, K-Mart misses another week or two with a sore knee.  Worst-case, he's done for the season with knee surgery. 

STIFF #2: RON ARTEST
Nice hairdo.  'Nuff said.

STIFF #3: JOEL PRYZBILLA
The Blazers backup center re-injured his surgically repaired right knee after slipping in the shower.  Now we're just waiting for Greg Oden to slip on a banana peel.

STIFF #4: CAVALIERS FANS
Recently set the world record for the largest gathering of people wearing fleece blankets - i.e. Snuggies.  Really?!  This is worthy of a world record?!

STIFF #5: BOSTON CELTICS
Losing to the pathetic Nets and almost losing to the Wizards is one thing.  But to do so at home within a week of each other...now that's an art.  I think it's safe to assume the Celtics are going nowhere in this year's playoffs.
