* Offiical NBA Off-Season Thread: I'll give one of my damn kidney's for these Melo rumors to stop *

[franchise3]

I dunno, but Hedo is stinking it up as well. 8-34 so far I read. Dude's best days are behind him it's looking like.

I'm not sure if international play is clear indication of what will translate in the NBA.... but Yi Jianlian beasting out there for China. Dude averaging 25 and 10 right now. No Yao tho.

Jon Rothstein: Hearing from an #NBA league source that the #Nets are not including Brook Lopez in any trade discussions w #Nuggets 4 Carmelo Anthony. If #Nuggets were to make deal w #Nets, they would likely move Billups in another deal bc of Harris. check #Nets first round picks...its 9 over next several years....I'm told multiple picks would be involved in #Nuggets deal
 

#Warriors, #Bulls, and #Clippers are also in mix for for Melo...LAC are long shot according to #NBA league source. #Warriors offer for Melo would be Stephen Curry, Biedrins, and picks...GSW unsure tho about parting w Curry

  #Nuggets discussions w Chicago involves a package of Luol Deng and Taj Gibson

 

[youngtriz]

rose, korver, melo, boozer, noah.. would be scary.... miami would have to play.. wade, miller, lebron, bosh, anthony/haslem/or z

 

[mytoasterspeak]

If Melo goes to Chi that's my pick to come out the east, depending on who all they part with.

 

[franchise3]

From the same dude, supposedly Deng + Gibson.

Most of these offers aren't too appealing. Favors + Curry are good gets, but there's a catch, in having to take back Harris + Biedrins.

Melo on the Bulls though

 

[bijald0331]

What I wrote in the Bulls thread:

^That's some crazy %!*# if they accept that poo-poo platter with what GS and Houston could offer in terms of players, cap space and picks. Unless there is something I don't know about in regards to Deng's contract?


I just don't see how we have a better offer with these two unless there is some sort of mandate from Melo. @%!% it, I'm wasting my breath like an idiot.

[nicedudewithnicedreams]

Deng and Gibson as the main package parts from Bulls. Yuck.

 

[imasoleman18]

melooooooooooo

 

[duba169]

chicago can't give away Deng for a bag of chips. that offer is trash

 

[paul is on tilt]

@ Deng and Gibson as a the centerpieces of that offer.

 

[kvsm23vs24]

Melo to Bulls would be

 

[jmause3]

not getting excited about melo until i see him in a Bulls uni

as long as its Deng then they will be fine.

 

[japanair21]

A Deng+Taj combo?

Nah, it'd take more than that.

Favors+Harris, Gordon+Kaman, and even Steph+Bierdins are better deals IMO.

# JonRothstein

#Nuggets would prob. want Kaman and Eric Gordon from #Clippers 4 Melo....that deal would make LAC much worse 6 minutes ago via Twitter for BlackBerry[emoji]174[/emoji]


Come on Jon, Blake Griffin is already the next Karl Malone. The LAC would rule!!! But seriously, we'll forget that the Clips are the Clips (cheap owners, poorly run franchise, shadow of Kobe, etc.)

# Jon Rothstein JonRothstein

#Nuggets discussions w Chicago involves a package of Luol Deng and Taj Gibson 7 minutes ago via Twitter for BlackBerry[emoji]174[/emoji]



Right...Loul Deng who the Bulls couldn't give away (not even to the Raptors who knew they were going to lose Bosh) suddenly is the crown jewel of a trade for a guy that the Nuggets said they are not going to give away for nothing. Taj Gibson must be the next Willis Reed then?

# Jon Rothstein JonRothstein

#Warriors offer for Melo would be Stephen Curry, Biedrins, and picks...GSW unsure tho about parting w Curry 8 minutes ago via Twitter for BlackBerry[emoji]174[/emoji]



The Warriors can't deal their own 1st round pick until 2014 (conditionally protected with Nets). They have no other teams 1st round pick.

JonRothstein

#Nets look like favorites now but are fighting including lopez...Harris, Favors, and picks are package 4 minutes ago via Twitter for BlackBerry[emoji]174[/emoji]

:" title=""> Who is Melo going to play with? Terrence Williams?

 

[steve cash]

Nets should not be trading for Melo, they are gonna end up gutting that team for a 1 year rental. pointless IMO

 

[bigmike23]

and why wouldnt melo resign with NJ?

 

[duba169]

um because they just won 12 games?

 

[franchise3]

But, new billionaire owner who will do what it takes to win, and help Melo better brand himself. And he'd be in a bigger market.

Playing alongside Brook ain't bad, either.

 

[duba169]

when has abilionare owner ever mattered in the nba. do the knicks have a chip? do the mavs?

 

[ballinsam23]

so far every move that billionaire owner did this offseason was absolutely horrible
