It's better for the Nuggets brass to milk the trade deadline and if he leaves in the summer, so be it. Either way they are going to have to rebuild. I don't think getting a bunch of players in return via trade is such a good thing when you have to fill specific voids. They will have cap room if Melo walks and be able to make a calculated signing. They have Lawson, Afflalo, Nene, and JR Smith for the future. Use that cap space to sign a PF & SF and go from there. The latter position depends on JR's maturity otherwise they can let him walk this summer too. I say they let Melo and JR walk and then go after Z-Bo and Landry this summer.

Billups
Afflalo
Landry
Z-Bo
Nene

A cheaper alternative to Landry would be Dunleavy.

I love Melo, but I can't wait for post-trade deadline. Tired of hearing those dramas.

Nets try to involve Pistons in three-team trade for Carmelo Anthony

WASHINGTON -- The Nets are trying to involve the Pistons in a three-team deal that would bring Carmelo Anthony to New Jersey, league sources said.

In the complicated scenario that’s being discussed, the Nets would send Derrick Favors, Devin Harris and at least two first-round picks to Denver and Troy Murphy’s expiring contract to the Pistons. In return, the Nets would get Anthony and Chauncey Billups from the Nuggets and likely Richard Hamilton from the Pistons, who are looking to shed salary. Hamilton has two years and $25 million remaining on his contract.

There are many more players involved to make the salaries match, but this is one of multiple things the Nets are discussing in an effort to land Anthony. They also are trying to trade with Denver straight up for the All-Star small forward.

The Nuggets have a standing offer of Favors, Murphy and at least two first-round picks. But if something like that happens it may not be until around the Feb. 24 trade deadline. The Nuggets don’t want to pay Murphy’s salary right now but may be more willing when less is owed to him.

Rip is crossing his fingers this deal goes through.

[h1]Nuggets Won't Rent Melo To Western Conference Team[/h1]Jan 07, 2011 7:37 PM EST

Sam Amick writes that not only is it not an option for the Nuggets to lose Carmelo Anthony next summer without compensation, neither is trading him to a Western Conference team that is willing to deal for Anthony without a contract extension.

"There's really only two things that (Masai Ujiri) can do that will guarantee this comes back on him," said a source close to the Nuggets. "Not trading him and losing him for nothing is one, or having that happen (referring to losing him long-term to a Western Conference team on the cheap)."

Amick portrays the standoff as a blinking contest between Anthony, who only wants to end up in New York, and the Nuggets, who prefer to deal him to New Jersey.

Amick writes that the New York front office remains confident that Anthony will be in a Knick uniform sooner or later.

League sources tell Amick that Denver plans to hold on to Anthony until close to the trade deadline to ensure that the Nuggets receive the best possible return.

Sounds like the Denver-New Jersey-Detroit deal is stalling because Jersey wants to dump Johan Petro to Detroit and get back a 2011 pick too (along with Murphy going to Detroit).

He WONT sign an extension with ANYONE unless that team is the NEW YORK KNICKS. Hope that helps.

So theoretically anyone except the Knicks would only be "renting" him for the rest of the year for a playoff push (or tickets push in NJ's case) because he will be gone this summer.
