NO team will give up a more attractive offer than NY w/out an extension for MELO.
CHI is the lone exception.
They would deal Deng (and his 50 million), James Johnson and probably a 1st round pick. They wont toss in Gibson though. Rose-Noah-Gibson is the foundation.
NOW, is that more attractive than Chandler or Gallo, Walker, Jordan and 2 second rounders?
I think the NYK offer is better b/c DEN doesn't have to committ to DENG and his 50 million.
Melo has all the control. If he refuses to sign an extension with anyone but NYK, DEN's hands are tied. CHI would still offer up the aforementioned package so they could make a run at the title this year (Rose-Boozer-Melo-Noah-Gibson). They wont go that extra yeard tho (tossing in Taj).
Why would NYJ rent Melo for 1 year? Same with Clippers? Or HOU?
Of course, if Melo agrees to sign an extension.... all bets are off.
I think the price would drop at the trade deadline.... not go up. NO TEAM would be willing to dump talent at that point. A contedning team might have assets to jettison at the time.... but who knows. Maybe Chandler or Gallo is playing well, and since they're cheap.... They are more valuable.
I think WITHOUT an extentions, DEN would get more value now.... So that team renting his services get a full year out of him.
Seriously, we know which teams will be "going for it" come Feb.... ORL, OKC, POR.... teams like that. Which one of them is giving up real talent to bring Melo in for 3 months?
