wouldn't we be able to keep chandler if we get him in free agency?
Yeah no way you get Melo and keep Will. You'd have to renounce Wills' bird rights to have the cap space. Besides, Will, Curry, and Randolph for Melo is a damn good deal to me.
Yea, I figured they'd want to drag it out hoping NY sweetens it, but me personally I'd leave it at this barring a few nobodies to make salaries match.Chris Mannix from SI.com says the deal is not close, and that the Nugs are trying to lure other teams.
But I would pull the trigger on that deal if the Nugs would take it. But the Nugs GM would probably fired if all he got in return for Carmelo Anthony was Corey Brewer and Wilson Chandler. The deal makes no sense for the Nuggets unless the Twolves are giving up their 2011 unprotected first draft pick which I doubt.
because we can trade chandler, randolph, and curry for him by feb 24thwouldn't we be able to keep chandler if we get him in free agency?

There is no need to keep Chandler. Apparently the plan is to get 3 superstars until 2012. STAT, Melo and either Chris Paul or Deron Williams. That would be 3 max contracts. We need to save the money from a possible Chandler extension for Paul/Williams.
Danger of waiting is if the CBA allows for a "Franchise Tag" similar to football (bet your lives Dan Gilbert and whatever Canadian owns the Raptors will be pushing for it), which would prevent certain guys from becoming free agents.

That would pretty much destroy the NBA imo.
"why not wait till FA and keep EVERYONE"?
"AR could be special on both sides of the court and we should just hold out to next year"
"Trading 1st rounders is a mistake and has burned us in the past"
amazing how many Melo threads have been created since Trillion's December thread explaining all.
i think it's hilarious all you've gotta do is cut and paste your thread/remarks over and over and you've
still got the most valid Melo opinions on KO, 2 weeks+ till trade deadline.
totally :agreed:
sooner we get Melo the better. keeping Fields/Gallo = MAJOR PLUS.
:crossfingers:
Melo >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Chandler
