Why not just sign Nene to an extension, since is the gap really that big between the two talent-wise? And Nene isn't as injury prone.
LA would need Melo to sign an extension, or they'd be stuck with bad contracts if Melo walks to NY. Denver is not gonna do Bynum for Melo straight up.
And even then, I dunno if it makes the Lakers that much better. The reason they've been hard to beat all these years is because they could throw Bynum/Gasol/Odom at teams, outsizing them.
