Chris Broussard: Lakers, Nuggets talk Carmelo for Bynum package no Artest or Odom involved


Recommended Posts

You Knicks also just lost your leverage now Nets are back in talks

 

Actually, since Melo's ultimate dream is to play for the Knicks, the latter still have leverage. Even with the Nets back in talks, if Melo refuses to sign the extension, they won't deal for him.

Melo SAID:

1. money is a big factor in his decision

2. he'd like to meet with Prokhorov

 

 

If Knicks don't give up Gallo, Chandler, Fields, Felton, and Mozgov, they're not getting Melo. And Knicks certainly won't do it.

 

 

If money is really a big factor like he said, then he will agree to extension once the trade framework is agreed to by Nets and Nuggets.

 

 

- Melo, Amare, and noone else... is not much better than... Melo, Lopez, and noone else.

 

- Nets are moving to New York soon.

 

- Prokhorov is richest owner in L ($13 bil) and certainly won't mind paying luxury tax...

 

Knowing these facts, are Knicks really that much better than Nets to be worth giving up big $$$?

 

 

The only way Knicks can remove doubt is to submit to the Nuggets demand and trade their top 5 young prospects (and that is IF the Nuggets don't ask for more... remember Nets are said to offer 4 1st rd draft picks along with Derrick Favors, I can't see any other team with better offer than it)... waiting for summer to sign him comes with a risk of not getting him at all.

Kobe and Melo sure are being buddy-buddy during the Jam Session today. One of my friends just hit me up with a text saying that Melo has been following Kobe around 80% of the time, and they keep talking to each other.

 

Melo is in LA right now. Why not set that meeting up with Mitch? :o ;)
