Trading Melo away would be a huge mistake. You don't trade a 23 year old superstar who could easily anchor your franchise for years to come. Instead, they should be listening to offers for AI, as well as looking for a new coach.

I realize Battier is a terrific defender, but you overrate the rest of the package. Brooks may be lightning quick, but do you really want a backcourt that's got a pair of sub-6' players? And while I like Landry, I don't think his potential is that great. He's got plenty of talent, but I don't know if he'll ever be much more than a 10/8 type of guy. In the end, I think they could get MUCH better for Anthony. Even though he's got attitude problems, he's still one of the top young players in the NBA. He can score at will and do it in a variety of ways and still has a lot of room to grow as a player, and he's still super young, only 23. I just think it's ridiculous to trade away a player who's going to be a top five scorer in the NBA for years to come for a defensive guy closing in on 30, a short PG to pair with an already super short SG, and another young 3/4.
Melo the non-practicing punk Source <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>One example – God, Melo might kill me for telling this story – so Melo had a baby, a beautiful young boy, right? So, Melo never wants to miss workouts. I remember, we were at workouts and it was his fiancée’s birthday and he told her, “Hey, it’s a spa day for you, I’ll watch the baby.” So he brings the baby to workouts. In between drills, he’d finish the drill and then the baby would start crying. So Melo would take the baby carriage and walk the baby all the way around the basketball court and the baby would stop crying. And then he’ll come back and do a drill. And then if he has to burp the baby or something, he takes out the burping bag and does what he’s got to do, and then comes right back to the court. But it’s nice because I think no one sees that very good, gentle, kind, humble side of Carmelo and that’s why I’m the first to defend him all the time. People don’t see the ba-zillion nice things that he does.</div>

If you think he is capable of landing you a 23 year old superstar, you are clearly delusional. Carl Landry is 24 years old. Carmelo Anthony is 23. Carl Landry hasn't done a single thing in the league yet. He may be a solid starter in the future, but why would the Nuggets trade away their 23 year old franchise player for someone who hasn't even proven he can be half the player Carmelo is now. Aaron Brooks is the next AI? LMAO you must be out of your mind. What has Brooks proven in the league yet? Absolutely nothing. You are clearly delusional. He's not even starter material "This is as good as the deals get for a player like Carmelo Anthony." No it isn't. A 23 year old superstar not even in his prime? The Nuggets will receive much better offers than that crap. "The Lakers young guys may be crap, but not the Rockets." I'd take Bynum over all the youngsters you guys have on your roster. But hey, who am I to talk? Landry is the next Karl Malone. Aaron Brooks is the next Allen Iverson. And sour grapes? Look who's out the playoffs. Look who got eliminated in the first round, yet again. I wouldn't be talking.
He said Aaron Brook next to AI would be the fast backcourt in the NBA, not Aaron Brooks is the next AI

That sure shows how much you know about basketball. You might as well trade for Earl Boykins and sign Dee Brown. Wow! Fastest team in the entire league. Too bad this isn't the NFL. These players will still have to play defense
