magicbalala245 Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) This is a pipe dream nonetheless I'll post this article written by the Denver Post. The Nuggets are not in a rush to move Carmelo Anthony but the team is now willing to review trade offers. Any trade of Anthony may not happen until near the February trade deadline and it could be a complex deal involving three or more teams. Denver is wary of what happened to the Cavaliers and Raptors this summer and is determined to get something of value for Anthony rather than see him walk as a free agent next summer. One NBA team source told The Denver Post that the league's consensus is that Anthony will be traded to the Nets, Knicks, Bulls or possibly one of the teams in Southern California. New Jersey may have the most attractive package to offer the Nuggets, built around the third-overall pick Derrick Favors, but it is unknown whether Anthony would agree to sign an extension with the Nets. One of the Southern California team's eh? I'm pretty sure if some how in a miracle if Melo is dealt to LA, Bynum & Odom would have to be involved in the trade. However I'm pretty sure it's the Clippers being mentioned not the Lakers. But would the Lakers have to give hypothetically to land Carmelo Anthony.

Multi-Billionaire Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 I guess it means Clippers (combination: Gordon, Kaman, Jordan, Griffin, Aminu) or Warriors (Steph Curry wow I'll do that trade in a sec)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warriors are out of the conversation. The article states one of the Southern California teams not Northern California teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multi-Billionaire Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Are Warriors not in Southern Cali? Anyways, it says "one" I'm sure it refers to the Clippers first before it does to Lakers. Lakers will only be willing to trade Bynum... but I tell ya, Nuggets will take Favors over Bynum 100 out of 100 times. Favors might be unproven but his potential of awesomeness is just too high to ignore and unlike Bynum, Favors is fresh and has no history of injury. Melo to LA... ain't happenin... sides, you don't want that piece of lazy trash, he don't play defense (but when he does, he plays well, but it's rare)...

Owner Real Deal Posted September 20, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 According to Chris Broussard, Melo's choices are... Nets, Lakers, Rockets, maybe Bulls. But Knicks definite No. 1 choice. But...if he goes to LA, it's to the Clips. The Lakers aren't going to wheel and deal with Denver, and vice-versa.

Warren2ThaG Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 why only maybe on Bulls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboveLegit Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Didn't one of the reports (a while ago) mention that Denver wants to trade him out of the West? I don't think it's a good idea to trade Bynum and Odom either. The reason why LA has such an advantage coming into this season especially, is because of their talented front court. The duo of Kobe/Melo sounds good on paper, but I honestly do not know how well they will perform together. They don't seem to complement eachother very well if you ask me.

Would be a dream to see Rockets got him, I would rather be pessimistic about things, so I can be super happy when great things do happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 I LOVE Bynum but would give him up in a heartbeat for Melo. As long as Melo signs long term. However I would not give up Bynum and Odom in the same deal. Bynum/Brown/Barnes or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Nothing on LA would appeal to Denver according to what they want, Bynum is useless to them if they deal Melo, Bynum and Billups is going nowhere fast, they would be better off dealing him to NY/NJ/HOU,.

Lone Wolf Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Multi-Billionaire if you really thought Warriors were located in So Cal then just wow.He's from Australia. Give him a break! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted September 21, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Yeah, I would trade Bynum and fillers (we sort of have fillers...Vujacic), but I wouldn't trade Drew AND Odom, unless Caracter plays like a starting power forward up until February. Not going to happen (Caracter playing that good) and...not going to happen (Melo to the Lakers) because Denver would not take our draft picks (they are all lower first-rounders), we don't have any massive expiring contracts (Vujacic is $5 million), and our young talent is injury-prone. Plus, already mentioned, we are out West. We have eliminated the Nuggets numerous times in the postseason. Denver has no reason to watch us win more rings.

Dash Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 @schahayed lakers really involved @thashark316 Nets, Lakers, Rockets, maybe Bulls. But Knicks definite No. 1 choice. I'm not sure how serious of a destination the Lakers are but any package would almost certainly have to include Bynum along with Ebanks and picks, not a bad deal for Denver since they'd get Bynum but the other pieces are lacking.

Nitro Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 If the Lakers could basically win two titles with Bynum making little to no impact due to injuries, then adding Melo to the mix would just be nasty. It would also spell Kobe of a lot of the offensive workload and add some time to how long he can sustain being a top 5 player. Not to mention it could add an extra 2-3 years to the length of time the Lakers can continue being an elite contender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
