if i were a nets fan i would hang myself at the thought of a melo/vc tandem i had a lot of love for melo when he first came into the league but now hes just a waste of talent who will always put up numbers but never win…just like vince….i can only imagine the damage they could cause together….and wouldn’t that ruin all hopes of bringing in lebron to play for ownerr jay-z in the inagural season of the brooklyn nets? (don’t know if that’s even possible cuz i dont know when they are officially moving if at all)

i like the deal, big VC fan, and the nets would have a big guy who can rebound and block some shots

nets lineup:
devin harris
vince carter
carmelo anthony
nenad kristick
marcus camby

role players:
sean williams
josh boone and sign some good free agents and you got a contender right away

the nuggets need to get rid of somebody and AI is more solid and competitive than anthony, only downside is his age, but get jefferson and williams and a draft pick and try to sign somebody too and u have a pretty good team

only way u give up mello AND camby is if you get marcus williams, jefferson, sean williams, and a pick back, also van horn cantract

then ur line up will look like this:

pg – marcus williams, cucky atkins, tuaren green
sg – a.i, jr smith
sf – richard jefferson, diawara
pf – kenyon martin, klieza
c – nene, sean williams, hunter

with the draft pick you can possibly get a younger post prospect like love, jordan, or even slow ass hibbert, they all would make up for cambys absent in the future, or if u lucky you would get an eric gordon, oj mayo, or perhaps a jerad bayless to take over ai spot in 2 years

even with out the draft scenarios, ai has one year, that becomes jr’s spot after one more year of development, and you still have klieza who could be a very good 2nd option in the future

getting rid of camby makes nene ur down low threat who isnt terrible on d, with a sean williams, who is a young camby, develping behind him

denver might not have the success they had this season, if you wanna call it that, but future is bright and team still competes, and remember, ai, jefferson, and martin contracts will be up soon, so younger players then will fill the voids and thass what trades are relied on, potential pieces

but i think trading mello to dallas for j howard and kidd, then turnin around and trading ai, to someone like, maybe the magic for hedo and dooling with nelson going to dallas would be interesting too

den – kidd, smith, hedo, howard, nene
mavs – nelson, terry, mello, dirk, bass
orl – arroyo, iverson, lewis, battie, howard

lol that was just my fan gm mind goin right there, but not bad?

Melo’s laziness and inability to pass the ball does not allow proper spacing on the floor. He does not pass out of the double team quickly enough or at all. Melo and AI are, unfortunately, not complimentary players. AI was the leader of the team all year. JR and LK are up-and-coming and talented. Camby also does not space floor because he can’t score. WE NEED a good scoring point that can also pass well…unselfish ball is good ball. If they throw in Devin Harris instead of williams could be good trade.

carmerlo anthony is the most OVERrated player in the nba. he is an athletic version of the new glenn robinson.
denver aint gonna win shit with, so they might as wwell explore trade options. but with jersey?…i dunno about that one. nets squad is full of bums.

but…how about this trade scenario on draft night:

carmelo anthony, kenyon martin, anthony carter, jr smith
to new jersey for
devin harris, richard jefferson, stromile swift,

new look nuggs:

devin harris, allen iverson, richard jefferson, stromile swift, marcus camby

new look nets:

marcus williams, vince carter, carmelo anthony, kenyon martin, sean williams

any thought?….

Well that move would completely destroy the Nuggets franchise and would be the single worst move they’ve made in their entire history.

Bottom line, I think they should give Carmelo a few more years to develop before talking about trading him. To me Carmelo is a fraud. I don’t think he is a Superstar or real franchise player at this point, but the Nuggets can continue to hold on to false hope. If I was a team owner or GM, I wouldn’t want the guy, I just think he is lazy, a quiter and doesn’t have much heart. His basketball IQ is very questionable at this point as well. Unless he is scoring, he doesn’t seem to know what else to do or how to get involved and help his team when his shot isn’t falling. Its ridiculous. As a basketball fan all I hope is that Iverson goes to a team that is serious about contending at this point. Carmelo and George Karl can stay together and continue their 1 and done playoff apperences for years to come.
