    It has been "reported" on ESPN and on 95.5, so before someone starts a thread about this without actually reading the article, here it is.

    Really, it's nothing more than the writer's speculation that if Carmelo doesn't sign an extension, then the Nuggets might need to trade him rather than lose him to free agency. Nothing in here at all from the Nuggets; no actual foundation for the speculation.

    Denver really isn't Melo's kind of town. More cowboy than hoodlum.

    Melo could be on the block

    If Melo declines that then he's outta there, imo.

    Re: Melo could be on the block

    As soon as Melo talks to his agent, he's signing that deal. The new CBA is going to be a hammerblow to NBA salaries. I don't think the players understand just how fucked they're going to be.

    While I will miss basketball in 2011-12, the stories of "we make a lot of money, but we spend a lot of money, too" will entertain me to no end.

    For anyone familiar with Melo's hometown, being on the block has a completely different meaning.
