PrintBack on December 14th I Tweeted the Denver Post's Chris Dempsey and asked if George Karl would be around in a post-Melo Nuggets world. He responded saying "Absolutely. Those wheels are already in motion." And Chris Tomasson is also reporting, in an interview with Karl, that he wants to be around next season no matter how things play out.
Here is that Tweet from Dempsey about Karl:

The small forward was booed when shown on the video board during a mixed martial arts event Thursday night in suburban Denver. That's because Anthony has yet to sign a three-year, $64.47 million extension offer that is on the table, which could lead to him being dealt by the February trade deadline.

Does anyone know if the Nets actually want Billups
or is it just salary cap related?
Can they just buy him out when traded/or at the end of the year and he can return to Denver and we put a statue of him outside the arena as a thank you?
I cried when we drafted Tim Tebow because I didn't want to have to deal with all the growing pains
Not sure
A lot of the speculation is that they want him for this season and next, then acquire Chris Paul next season to pair with Anthony. Basically, they want to take a teams best player two seasons in a row.

Denver doesn't want to pay Chauncey, so why should he want to stay, other than to be convenient for his family.
Moving is a Pain.
Yes, we would take Chauncey unless CP3 because available next Feb.
Harris would be cheaper though and he is younger, so his value may be higher than Billups’ value in a year from now.
Remember, the Chauncey issue started when Ujiri insisted that he didn’t want to take Troy Murphy’s expiring.
they probably want him to trade for cp3
next season. since cb1 will be an expiring next season once they pick up his 14.2M option and cp3 will be in his final season of his contract since hell probably opt out of his final year.
TEAM get rid of MELO ASAP!

If the Nets signed Melo without the extension being signed,
could they turn around a trade him to the Nicks? Not saying they would if they could, but I’m just curious, could they?
Yes they could.
It would be bizzaro world, but yes they could do that

A Knicks trade would greatly reduce the probability of dealing Billups...
Quitter's People United Member #35
I would rather let Melo walk at season's end with far less money than
deal with the knicks. We already have a huge expiring in Kenyon, Billups will re-sign for less and Melo’s 17 Mil will also be gone.
This. This. This.
I don’t think we are bad AT ALL without Melo, still a 6-8 seed playoff team, as seen yesterday.
Except that Melo was 28 of those points.....

So we are supposed to only look at Melo's 28 points?
And ignore the bench filled with our young future of the team that turned the entire game around?
The game felt exactly like the Hornets game, until Melo sat, and the bench went crazy. Don’t get me wrong, I like Melo, but I think the doomsday stories when he leaves are a bit excessive.
Were you even watching the game?
o i forgot
i forgot we have one of the fastest point guards in the game that did just fine guarding steve nash last night.
i forgot we have one of the best clean defenders in the league who put up his biggest offensive game last night
i forgot we had a center that is finally looking like he wants to stand up to dwight howard
i forgot we had a young star who has finally put together a string of games (the season) and it doesnt look like his head is up his ass
i forgot we had a veteran point guard who wants to be in colorado now and in the future
i forgot we had a coach who wants to help this team rebuild
i forgot that because melo is everything.

I never said anything that detracted from Afflalo’s performance or Lawson’s. Just pointing out that Melo contributed 28 points along with AAA 31. Why is that so ridiculous?

Yawn.
I think you understand my point completely. This game was won in the hands of the players without #15 and “Anthony” on the jersey.
This fact reinforces my belief that this team won’t be as bad as everyone is saying when Melo does leave, regardless of when the front office (not Melo) decides to make this happen.
End of story.
Such a pleasant response.
Not end of story. You can be as condescending as you like. Would we have won last night’s game without Melo’s 28 points? Probably, because the Suns defense is worse than the Nuggets. But it’s not a given.

Because this is the internet. And it is serious business.

The Nuggets will be fine. In my awesome opinion, Melo slows this young and fast team down. Watching him post and post and post and post and turn and fadeaway is boring and is a waste of the speed of Ty and JR.

I still propose trading Melo to Cleveland for the rest of the season...
if Melo doesn’t sign the extension with us or who we want to trade him to. No playoffs, no camraderie, no extension, a hostile crowd who’ll want to take out their LeBron frustration on a star following James’ footsteps.

Carmelo is an Asshole!
Anthony is a jerk – holding up the trade. If he doesn’t want to go to NJ, be a man and say so! Just like his sucker punch at MSG, he’s not man enough to be truthful – letting everybody suffer – Chauncey, the fans, the coach, his teammates. I think he feels like he can hold off and not get traded at all because the trading deadline will come an go and then he can sign with the Knicks in the off-season and they will still have all of their assets. What a jerk! Cares nothing about the Nuggets organization and their fans. But Ujiri and Josh Kroenke aren’t going to let that happen and he might wind up with Houston or some other team and not “get his way” or his money.
Melodrama sucks
but I dont think Anthony is holding up the trade. Denver is, with good reason to bleed the Nets. I believe they are soooo bent on getting him, the closer it get to the deadline the better the deal gets. Josh and Masai are handling this well.
whats the hurry?
Another argument on your side is that the Nets...
get to develop Favors for us while we build up wins with Melo on our roster. Now if we could only beat teams that are not as downtrodden as we are, the plan would work perfectly.
Denver first.
While in principal this is true
I’m not sure much “development” of Favors is going on. I talked to a reporter friend of mine a couple days ago and he was saying that the long standing issue with Favors is his mental makeup. He doesn’t seem to have a killer instinct (remind you of anyone?) and while he does have talent…right now NJ hasn’t spent much time teaching Favors or trying to improve his footwork.
So if the Nuggets get him he will still be as raw as he was coming out of college.

No no no no no
He’s not nearly the same player or athletic enough. He’s also rather slow footed. He’s not a cornerstone player you build around. I think Favors will be a good player but not a game changer. Nuggets would need to find someone who’s dynamic enough to replace Melo with his scoring (remember, the Nuggets will be losing 40 to 45 points a game between Melo and Chauncey). What they are getting in return from NJ will not fill that void.
As for Favors…is see him essentially replacing Kenyon and producing a bit more offense than Kmart. Somewhere in the 16 – 8 range … in about 3 years.

Let the dude walk.
The Cleveland comparisons to me are just outrageous. This team has FAR greater talent than the Cavs had, even before they lost a few guys when LBJ left.
I’m sorry if you don’t agree, because you are wrong if you say that a starting 5 of Ty, AAA, JR, Kmart, and Nene can’t compete with any team in the league. Also, last night was our FIRST healthy night of the season.
If we can’t trade him for a Nets like package, keep the guy, and march into the playoffs proudly, because I can guarantee you this team will keep up when all the pieces are there. I also guarantee you Melo won’t turn into a baby like LBJ did.
we'd still have to re-sign
aaa, jr and kmart though. they are free agents after this season.

Makes resigning a lot easier
When you drop contracts of Melo, Kmart, and CB all at once. Kmart, if not resigned, can be a spot for upgrade, and AAA is a lock for re-sign, and JR has given all signs of wanting to stay here.
People freak about the future, but we got some supreme talent on this team.
Just did some *very* quick research.
If Melo is traded, and the team option on CB is declined, the payroll would sit at $28,295,693.
Our payroll now is $83,862,440.
The players on the payroll:
Nene
Harrington
Anderson
Afflalo (turns out we have him next year)
Balkman
Lawson
This is awesome if you ask me. Payroll levels will most likely stay near the $80M range, so thats around $50M of spending to do.
no
the salary cap is at 58M this season. so thats not 50M of spending to do. we can only spend up to the salary cap.
and aaa is a restricted free agent, so we’ll have to match whatever offers he gets if we want to re-sign him.

To be honest it doesn't make sense to keep Karl if we're rebuilding...
Unless Karl takes a paycut and doesn’t expect to be paid like a top 5 coach.

Knicks and Nuggets Negotiating?
A person familiar with the negotiations told the Daily News that talks between the Nuggets and Knicks are ongoing and classified the possibility of a deal with New York at “50-50.”
“He’d like to play in New York,” said the source, who requested anonymity. “But I don’t see anything happening soon.”

From Ken Berger
How long could this drag on? Though it’s unlikely given the momentum toward a trade and the chaotic environment in Denver that has ensued, one possibility would be for the Nuggets to announce they’re shutting down the trade talks and revisiting the matter after the season. If a deal more to Denver’s liking can be found in June, Anthony could still get his lucrative extension all the way up to midnight July 1, which would still beat the expiration of the CBA and, as nearly everyone involved in the NBA business acknowledges, an ensuing lockout.

So then, if his #1 priority is to sign the extension
as he seemed to sincerely state before, then he’s banking on Denver caving on trading Melo to the Knicks for next to nothing because that would be better for nothing. Denver is banking Melo won’t let the extension slide. Again, a game of chicken. Melo should never have said what he said.
Denver first.

If there’s any way to get Chandler and ant rand for JUST MELO we should do that trade. I just don’t get trading away half our team just because Melo want’s out. Replace him with a SF who can play D and our team is just as good
what kinda scares me about ujiri
is that he’s trying to trade for all these draft picks, which is good, but in his last job he was a talent scout for… who was it, the raptors or grizzlies? how much quality talent did he scout for those guys?

As I believe you have pointed out before
Once the trade deadline passes, they won’t be able to use expiring contracts from this season in the deal. So, they could in theory, do a trade after the season, but it would be more difficult and with fewer options.

are we allowed to sign melo on 6/30 then trade him on 7/1 for a TPE? or does the lockout start on 7/1?
i would almost do that instead if NYK is willing to take either big al or birdman w melo and give us a future 1st round pick even if its a 2014 pick.
we’d have a lot of cap space if we bought out chauncey. we could then re-sign aaa and jr to reasonable contracts under the new cba. go after someone like perkins or deandre jordan. and we’d have a huge TPE to pick up additional players.

Sources: proposed NJ-Den-Det deal “not dead, but dormant.” that means part 1 (reaching agreement). Part 2 (Melo signing) still a longshot

I get the feeling Melo is not gonna ok this deal
1st off, he would be an idiot to go to NJ in the first place. 2nd, he publicly said he regrets Billups’ name being brought into this. Why would he want to go play in NJ with a disgruntled CB1, who no doubt is gonna be pissed AT HIM for the whole ordeal
I think Chauncey's reaction has a lot to do with this deal not going through
You could tell Melo was wracked with guilt over it. Now…
Houston anyone?

I predict we do nothing. The Nuggets as is go on an incredible undefeated run
right up to the deadline. We let the deadline pass, and win the whole MF’ing thing. Then Melo walks.

Well...I'm not gonna go that far
however…it was nice to see the Nuggets play with some passion after three horrible games. I think the booing helped actually

I would love that
But I don’t think it’s realistic. The Nuggs will end up taking whatever team gives us the best deal for a rented Melo. I think they’ll pass on any deal NY can come up with
If they had part one
I think it would have leaked that it’s up to Melo now. We’d be hearing about the owner flying out to speak with Melo one on one.

Who gets the boo birds more on Thursday?
MElo or the “king”
"boo that, boo that mothafrrrs"...................oh don't worry we will!
I'm still split
I may boo both equally
"boo that, boo that mothafrrrs"...................oh don't worry we will!
I will only boo
If Melo is obviously doggin it. I doubt he will though since he always plays well against princess James
I highly doubt Melo will be booed again
although if booing gets Melo to play like that then maybe it should continue. lol

More Melo:
“and if I screw over Denver like LeBron did, God will wreak havoc on Denver as karma payback.”
Denver first.
does karma-elo understand how karma works?
if he screws over denver like lebron did, karma will wreak havoc on him and the knicks, not us.
also, his theology is suspect. first he invokes karma, then he invokes God.

Not sure if someone posted this Berger article
http://www.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/22748484/27017394
This article is so much slanted towards the knicks
GM’s consider their time valuable as all good business men do, and dealing with Ujiri and his constantly moving target and whimsical switching attitudes has probably grown long on Walsh’s patience.
and another article where they talkabout Miami getting billups
after he is bought out…

in light of the current moratorium on leaks to the media by nj
is it fair to say we can gauge the likelihood of an imminent deal by how well melo and chauncey play?
i.e. the weaker they play, the more likely they’re holding back because they know they’re about to get traded and don’t want to get injured; and the stronger they play, it’s because they know the talks are cooling off for the moment.
it may be the only way we have of telling how the horse trading is progressing.

and how's this for a kicker
what if karl mainly wants to stay in denver because melo’s leaving. it means he doesn’t have the team’s star around to ignore whatever system he thinks he has and lead others to do the same.
karl and melo probably get along, and they’re being mutually supportive here, but i gotta think that as far as karl’s concerned, they can’t get rid of melo fast enough, because younger guys like j.r. have been taking their bad cues from melo’s disregard for karl’s system.

No
I completely disagree, JR launching erratic 3 pointer after 3 pointer up until a month ago is not Melo fault that’s bullshit. Dude I know Melo is leaving but you cant blame the dude for every single thing cmon now.
You really think Karl sits around thinking " I cant wait til Melo leaves so jr can run the perfect offense and be the perfect player he was before he got around that knucklehead Melo" lmao
If Melo is screwing up our offense I'm more afraid of the trade then before.

j.r.'s been busting his hump for the last six weeks
i don’t know if it’s because he’s got some contract renewal thing going or he’s just getting ready to take over.
but it seems obvious to me that the nuggets don’t do a very good job of listening to their coach (and he doesn’t do a very good job of making them listen), and that sort of thing starts with certain personalities in the locker room, and gets infectious. maybe it’s not melo, who knows; but it’s not chauncey, no longer kmart, nene’s not the rebellious type, etc.
i wouldn’t put it quite the way you did in the second paragraph, but i wouldn’t be surprised if karl was thinking, ‘finally, we get to do things my way.’

Well I think Chauncey has the worst shot selection on the team
Alot of other people think the same way he might only take 8 shots but 5 of them will be pull up 3’s with 20 seconds left on the shot clock. So it could be chauncey. You must not remember last’s yrs game at cleveland or this yrs game at charlotte chauncey takes a handful of questionable shots
cb1 is not the best listener either.
i guarantee that george karl isnt saying ‘ok chauncey, when you get the ball, i need you to shoot a 3 immediately. ill be pissed if there is more than 20 seconds on the shot clock.’

this team keeps getting better and better, going from losing at San Fran and Harvard to two straight top-25 wins and one on the road. NCAA tourny if they can beat all the teams they should and maybe get one more top-25 team.

However I know Nick Kasa… cool kid and freak athlete.
