Maybe we can get that 2011 swap of first rounder back from the Rockets as well if we trade Randolph for that 2012 pick. Then toss that in as a sweetener in a package to get Melo.
The trade would look like this.
New York gets: Carmelo Anthony, Renaldo Balkman, $1.9M trade exception
Denver gets: Danilo Gallinari, Eddy Curry, 2012 and 2014 1st rd. pick (2012 from HOU), right to swap 2011 1st rd. picks with NYK
Houston gets: Anthony Randolph
