Ok bottom line: We need Melo.
The following players are untraceable. If we trade One it will **** up the chemistry.
Ronny
Amare
Wilson
Felton
Fields
Everyone else is up for grabs. Now get out there and bring me some Ideas!
We don't Need Melo but could certainly use the talent. However, with that said I am not sweating this MeloDrama BS. here are the possible scenarios:
1. Denver trades him to New Jersey and rapes Jersey of all its good players and draft picks, Carmelo roots in Newark for the next 1 and 1/2 years. Meanwhile the Knicks re-up Chandler and look for some help at the 1 and 5
2. Denver holds onto Melo and we sign Melo out right, costing us "nothing."
3. Denver decides to move on and take Gallo, AR/(first round pick), 3 Million Cash and Curry of our hands, netting them Cap relief and young guns.
As a Fan I can live wit any of these scenarios as we are progressing just fine and a scoring SF is not a need right now considering we got Chandler, Fields Gallo, Shawne Williams and Bill Walker Log-Jammed at that position. While I would love Carmelo I would in theory be willing to acuire him and then trade him away for a combo of a talented Center (Lopez, Chandler) and a quality backup Point Guard.
In any scenario we are ot getting hurt
