Girl, you're a woman now. I'm sure you'll survive.
I'm the poster formerly named KKsquared. Lost both of those guys, but the sun still came up the next day and I thought up a new user name.

Yeah I call BS on this as well.
Kevin O'Conner woud have to be crazy to sign Jefferson, and Bell.... Then go ahead and downgrade our defense by replacing our former All-star with another defensive weakling that can shoot the ball a little bit.

If the trade does not go through, Jazz are a better team, and Miller has less money in the bank. I certainly prefer having a better team than Greg keeping more money this year. With that said, if the trade does go through, we are only a little worse off. AK is just not a difference maker to mourn his loss, and Diaw, as bad as his contract is, is a decent average player, almost like AK. So, it will be a just slight downgrade.
The good news is though that Denver will have a HUGE downgrade, and Anthony will be in the Eastern conference. Favors is nothing. He has proven nothing at all in any level. At his age Anthony was the best player in NCAA and won national title. Even Hayward accomplished more at that age than Favors. Favors was below average even by NCAA standards. He may never even become a good NBA player, not to mention a star. AK is not a difference maker either. If this trade goes through, we are pretty much back as division favorites for years to come. Nuggets from defending division champs become nuisance and will go back to crap of the franchise they were for decades before Anthony. This is a great news for us for years to come. If Denver ends up keeping Melo, they they are a force to be reckoned with this year, and who knows - if Melo stays for whatever reason (stranger things have happened), then they are a force for years to come. Hence, if this trade goes through, we are basically getting rid of main divisional rival for many years to come. So, just that alone is probably worth a slight downgrade from AK to Diaw.

Geez, you are overrating AK. He was an All-star one year and that was five years ago. The young AK does not exist anymore except in your mind. AK got his big contract and stopped improving. Besides his ability to stay healthy is well documented and should be enough to get him traded.

It wasn't in in the middle of his max deal. Carter was going to become a free agent. It was an expiring contract for AK.

This deal is not dead. Denver is just doing its due diligence and making sure they can't get a better offer. I can't imagine them finding something better.
Denver is doing this to try and create panic on the nets side so they have leverage. Bulls won't trade Noah and the the Knicks don't have the pieces. Clippers shouldn't even be mentioned. Melo won't sign an extension there.

As opposed to a small overweight PF who will be the 3rd string PF to Millsap and Jefferso when Memo gets back for the exact same money? I have to agree with Bentley here. Also Harris and Dwill can definitely play together.
