The only team that will give up something for Carmelo will be new york!!! </div> When I read the first sentence, I thought you were being sarcastic, saying that was too little (because it is). Then you backed up your post. And now everyone thinks you're a moron. That would be an absolute steal for the RAPTORS </div> steal for raps? r u kiddin me? raps dont need offense they have enough and thats too little for him? okay his young and can score, can he create for others (Calderon can)? No, Can he defend (Rasho can)?No, Bargnani had a off season because he didnt know execty what position he was playing, jus wait till next yr, neways my whole point is if raps were to trade talent like that for jus offense would b a huge mistake </div> Can Calderon, Rasho, or Andrea lead a team like Melo? Can any take over the game like Melo? Can any put asses in seats like Melo? Jason Collins can defend. I don't think I'll trade him for Melo Bernard Robinson had an off year. Maybe he'll play next year, I won't trade him for Melo. You'd be crazy to turn down an offer to build around Bosh and Melo.
lol, I'm the biggest Bargnani supporter on this site and I'd probably jump all over that deal too. Its not that hard to understand why.

Smith is a dumbass with a horrible basketball IQ. Denver needs to focus on shipping his ass out, not Anthony's.

Richard Jefferson, Marcus Williams,a resigned Nenad Krstic and Stromile Swift along with New Jerseys Lottery Pick and Dallas's 1st rounder for Melo and Kenyon Martin (to relieve them of salary issues)
They shouldn't trade Melo. For all his problems, in the head and on the court, there's a chance that with a better role model on the team and a better coach he can turn into something great. He's just too young to give up on. Iverson is hitting his thirties, Camby (34) is seen as a good player for god knows not what reason.. They should trade away these 2 to teams who are looking for that last piece (ala Shaq and Kidd trades) Get some good role players and solid defenders from those trades (I'd jump on any Shane Battier deal in a flash). If Kenyon Martin's knees really are completely healed, and if Nene can finally be healthy, they have a making of a solid team. For example: C: Nene to guard the post against bulky guys, and maybe he'll develop(polish) his offensive post moves more. PF: Martin as primary defender against combo forwards. SF: Carmelo as primary scorer, maybe if he gets his head straight and puts in an effort, a playmaker ala LeBron. SG: Solid perimeter defender who can shoot the 3 PG: An average PG

He still hasn't been past the 1st round, he has the reputation of not showing up in the post season, he's always getting into trouble off the court, he lacks effort at times, etc.....all these ingredients can create a big pot of loser stew........ <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>They shouldn't trade Melo.
