re: carMELO

so reports have it that carmelo anthony (small forward) for the Denver Nuggets could be traded. When I first saw that report I was like NO WAY – it’s ‘Melo’ scores 25 points per game and pulls down 6 boards a game. But you look at their situation – the only other person that could be on the move is A.I. but he is schedule to make in the neighborhood of 21 million dollars next year so he won’t be opting out. Melo has the most trade value right now. I got to thinking where Melo could go — here are a couple of situations might be a possibility before the June 26th draft:

New Jersy Nets: get Melo and in return the Nets get Vince Carter plus their second 1st round pick (from Dallas). The money makes since and could be equal value if Vince can play for another year and the Nuggets draft right

Sacramento Kings: this seems like a good move for both teams. The Nuggets need to improve their defense what better way than bringing in the former Defensive Player of the Year Ron Artest (small forward). Pair Artest with Kenny Thomas and their 1st Round Draft pick to Denver for Melo.  Melo teamed with K. Martin will take care of the scoring while Spencer Hawes, Brad Miller, and Sheldon Williams will take care of the rebounds and blocks with B. Udrich to facilitate the ball to everyone at the point guard position

Washington Wizards: send Melo to our nation’s cpaital for G. Arenas straight up. The only problem is that G. Arenas is a free agent – the Wizards would have to do a “sign & trade” which wouldn’t be out of the question. The Nuggets need a big point guard and Arenas would be just that – both around the same age. With this trade the Wizards could focus on getting a facilitator (point guard) to pass the rock with that ”fully loaded” line up.

LA Clippers: please please as a SoCal sports fan – make this trade. Send Melo to sunny Cali for Cutino Mobley and Corey Maggette. The money works out well and both parties would be getting good value on the return. Plus with the addition of Melo, it might persuade Elton Brand to stay in LA instead of testing the free-market

But what do I know – because I JUST heard that Detroit Pistons offered C.Billups and T.Price for Melo and Denver turned that down…so that tells me that this deal would have to be HUGE for the Nuggets to make a move because that would have been a very SWEET deal for the Nuggets if they wanted to pursue that possible trade
