How about trading melo to minny?

Carmelo for Beasley and Telfair
Why The Nuggets do it:
We get a young Forward who can play both the 3 and the 4 and is a shooter (remember the game and how he beasted it against us), and an expiring contract in Telfair giving the Nuggets a lineup of this
PG: Billups/Lawson/Carter/Telfair
SG Afflalo/ Smith/Forbes
SF Beasley/Forbes/Smith/Harrington
PF Martin/Harrington/Andersen/Williams
C Nene/Andersen/Ely
Why Minny does it:
with the young talent on the team IMO Kevin Love and Jonny Flynn they will be at least a 40 win team, and thus melo may like the idea of building a better team with Minny.
and it works on the trade machine

Its a long shot, but worth a try...

I wouldnt mind
Beasley is Melo-lite and I like how much money we save with this trade, but I doubt Minny trades Beasley for Melo. Melo would never stay in minny and beasley is 22, probably gonna win the MIP this year. Melo is way older than the rest of the team, so he would be done by the time Love, Rubio ect. are in their primes and ready to win a championship.
I'd like it
But no way they trade away a key cornerstone of their franchise for just a rental of Melo. That said, Kahn is still Khan last time I checked and he seems to be fine with just giving away potential All-Stars for nothing, so this is something we should check into, especially if we could somehow get some picks.

I'll reserve the optimism for the 17-win seasons; now is the time for scrutiny.
Josh McRoberts you STIFF!!!
Maybe they do it if other players are involved.
They are a young building team so i doubt they trade a young player for just a rent of Melo. They are a little weak at the point guard spot until Rubio comes so maybe if the trade included other players that are not Melo they would be more inclined to do the deal. I don’t really know of what the trade would consist of. Maybe using one of the draft picks we will get in the Melo trade packaged together with J.R. or maybe even Bird……I wonder if the FO even really looked in to this. GOOD POST!
Tebow! Tebow! Tebow!
Funny thing is Denver could've easily gotten Beasley this summer.... it would've worked out great for all teams.
Miami was just looking to dump him, they wanted to trade him to Toronto for Bosh as part of the sign and trade, but Toronto didn’t want him, then they signed LK, but for both teams better intentions it could’ve been turned into a sign and trade where Beasley goes to Denver and LK to Toronto…
well I think at the time fans were not that worried about Melo not signing
because Beasley is most likely the closest thing in terms of playing like Melo, seriously he plays just like Melo, just not as talented.
Ya, but
Minni got him for a second round pick and a future first rounder. For the that type of talent, that’s a really good price no matter what.

In defense of the Nuggets
There just didn’t seem to be a reason to get him at the point he was traded. Remember, Beasley was traded before a single rumor of Melo wanting a trade. It doesn’t make sense to trade for Beasley when you already inked Harrington and have the wing depth we already have.
If the Melo had come out a few months earlier he wanted a trade, then absolutely I think a move for Beasley could have been done. However, i can’t blame the FO for not trading for him seeing as how we had no clue wanted to out.
