Thread: Nuggets shopping Melo?

Ok so that second post I made referencing the insider is not him. I guess some guy logged on with a name like his and is just posting crap. But he still says the New Jersey rumors are crap and just Kiki.

Paxson should be shot if he does this. Beasley would give Chicago the strong post threat they desperately need. Adding his game to their current roster makes them a much more complete team than adding Melo and Camby.

No chance in hell that trade is happening.

Melo is a known question mark, he's not worth as much as you may think. Melo to Chicago for #1 pick and scrubs is a tough one but when you want them to add DENG? You've got to be dreaming Ziggy. To get the #1 pick, Hinrich, Duhon AND Deng, you'd have to throw in the whole Nuggets Team.

Well, I suppose if we get Beasley out of the deal and can hang on to, oh, let's say Kleiza and Nene, let's do it.

Bulls will not trade unless it would be for a player like Kobe (bet they wich they had this pick last year!), Melo is not going anywhere(from the reports), and well guess the Netw reporters will have to start rumors about another player.

Dreaming is a good word for it, although I disagree on Melo's value. He's 24, the main cog on the USA team, he's a superstar that is signed for the next 3 years, and been relatively injury free. I think Chicago would be crazy to go for that deal myself, but it all depends on how much they want to put a young superstar back on the floor. Right now Chicago has a lot of young talent, but nobody that is recognized worldwide. Don't underestimate the power of marketing in the NBA. Melo has that, and will be even more popular if team USA brings home the gold.

I like Melo but think he's full of himself. He plays hard when he wants to. If he played hard in every outing he'd be great. He doesn't.
He's still a good young player and maybe he'll mature but he's not worth what we think he's worth.
Have to agree with Wookie on this one.

Can't argue with that. That's why I'm all for trading him before everyone else figures out what we already know.
