Melo?

[franklin]

I disagree Melo would not come here. He only has one year left, then he's on the market all the same. Meanwhile, he has a legitimate shot at a championship, all the additional hype that ESPN would give him if on this team, and he's out of the place he does not want to play in. D-Will, AJ, Melo, and throw in whatever spare parts you want and you look pretty good. I think Jazz could offer any combination of AK, Bell, Milsap, Memo, the unproven rookie, and three years of unprotected first round picks and would improve to champion contender (1 of 3--Jazz, Lakers, Heat). They should bet the farm and agree to whatever Denver asks for that meets league requirements.

D-Will, AJ, Melo = contender. This team is nowhere close.

K-mart's not going to be too happy about this

Why would Denver help their division rival?

exactly. Plus melo has no interest in coming here.

 

[jope]

dump half

dump half of your team including 3 youngins with potential..(tomic heralded as next pau...) for a 1 year rental on a guy who is me 1st team 2nd and sure to leave for greener pastures if the jazz don't luck out on the championship.. even if for some reason it did happen.. it won't.. it'd be fun to watch but I don't think its a smart plan

Yeah I would hate giving away half the team for a possible 1 year rental but with Melo we will go deep and i think that would be enoughto sign an extention. New Yorks willing to give up curry Gallinari with a 1st round pick. Maybe Utah says we can do better and we make a crazy move you guys might not want hear about but we give up Millsap, Hayward, Fez and a 1st round pick. Its better then what New Yorks offering plus we can keep the team mostly intact.

Gives Utah a great 8-9 man rotation Dwill Bell Melo AK Jefferson bench Price Miles Memo with Evans and (hopefully Thompson) a chance to crack the rotation.

No way in hell would Carmello stay or that the Jazz would even be in a position to pull it off. Not even worth the discussion.

 

[JohnnyClutch]

Helo No Melo! I'd rather root for the Lakers than have Melo on the team.

 

[Frankly Jazz]

Miller could meet Melo at the airport with a wheel barrow full of weed and he still wouldn't go to Utah.

The Jazz have something to offer Denver that other NBA markets do not: Melo's People of Utah.

Denver isn't trading Melo for an expiring, a crap pick, and spare parts. They'll get talent if they do trade him. Sources say Gallinari is obtainable. I'd take him, Curry, and someone like Chandler (do they still have him?) over the meager offer the Jazz can give. And NY would do that without Denver giving up two contributors.

First of all, we can all certainly agree that this whole Melo trade idea is retarded anyway. But just to answer your answer - the theoretical trade package that juds came up with is FAR better than the one you came up with for the Knicks. Kirilenko/Miles/Hayward/Tomic >>>>> Gallinari/Curry/Chandler.

 

[LifeOnaPlate]

why would we ever trade for melo? He doesn't want to be here, and we don't want him here.

q.e.d.

 

[Stifle Tower]

That's a laughable deal on Denver's part. They can do a lot better than that.

So Denver gives up an all-star + a very good backup center for a #9 pick, a questionable Euro and CJ? Oh yeah, and cap relief. But is Denver interested in "rebuilding?" With 'Melo as an asset you want to get high value in a trade, not throw away the next several seasons.

KOC would get GM of the decade if he pulled that off.

But it's a "mute" point to discuss Carmel in Utah. He's not a good fit and he plays for a division rival. Never, ever going to happen.
