Nuggets & Carmelo Anthony!

Deng is owed $50 mill over 4 years, AK47's $17 mill comes off the books after this season. I think Denver would much rather have the cap space plus a guy with top 5 power forward potential down the line, than Deng, who is no more than a nice complementary starter and Gibson, who is just a good role player. Neither of those guys have franchise player potential.

Looks like a deal that could work. All teams would benefit from this trade. That ESPN link said Melo is keen on NJ, which does surprise me a bit. He would have to be patient for that team to help him challenge for a title, but there is some talent there to build a contender in a couple of years.

Not that Boston would do this - but what if they sent Pierce, Rondo and Sheed's expiring for Anthony and Billups? The numbers would work and Denver gets a young star PG, a declining but still damn good Pierce and $6.5 mill in expiring salary.

Boston would really load up for two more runs and then rebuild around Anthony. Would be fun seeing a Billups, Allen, Anthony, KG and Perk/Shaq/ O'Neal combo!

Boston would never do this though (and Denver might not either due to Pierce's deal). Most fans (including me) would hate losing Rondo and Pierce and some of the more extreme ones would probably burn down Ainge's house!

Still like Deng and Gibson for Melo to go to Chicago.

1,3,5 combination looks very good.

No Deal!!

The only way that the Knicks will get Carmelo is if they sign him has a free agent, otherwise they can eaily be outbid by a multitude of teams. The Tracey McGrady trade really gutted the assets that they would have to offer and its gonna take more than Galinari to get the deal done.

Denver will want several picks, exprings and at least 1 marketable player. New york have no first rounders to trade because Houstons has the rights to them.

Denver holds all the aces at this stage due to the fact that Carmelo doesn't have a no trade clause so Denver will send him to the highest bidder before the Trade deadline.

IMO the nets are in the box seat, they have plenty of young talent/expirings/picks to offer.
