    Not as much as you think. The one they would be giving up is not their pick. It is a pick that got from another team. Plus any pick they trade will be probably top 5 protected but for sure top 3 protected so you are looking at a mid lottery pick at best.

      Would Melo be even willing to re-up with the Wolves?

        I would do it if I'm the Lakers. Not sure about the short term, probably depends who they are playing in the playoffs. But in the long term if you can get Melo for just Bynum you have to do it.

        I don't think Bynum is that great a fit for Denver, but the risk isn't that high since he's only got one more year, so it's better than letting Melo go for nothing, and its better than the Knicks/Nuggets/T'wolves deal which is basically nothing. I think if the Knicks give them Gallo and Fields and either Randolph or a pick that would be better for the Nuggets, and I think that's their main goal here, but I don't see the Knicks giving in.

          If I'm the Lakers, I make that deal in a heartbeat.

          If I'm the Nuggets, I'd consider other offers. I wouldn't close the door BUT I'd definitely look at other options.

That doesn't even include that they would have to just let Andrew walk before free agency would even begin. With the new CBA and pretty much the guarantee of a lower cap there is no way they will be able to just sign Dwight even if he becomes a free agent.

            They'd be able to sign Dwight in 2012 because they have team options on Odom and Bynum. So they could still have Kobe/Artest/Pau/Howard in their starting lineup. Yikes.

              But Kobe would be making $27 million and Gasol $19 million, so I don't know how they would fit Dwight in there. Plus we don't know what the cba will be like. And the Lakers are trying to win a championship these next couple years, so I don't know if they can worry about not adding more salary for 2012.

                Unless the lakers are willing to eat more salary it ain't happening. Denver is looking for financial relief also. If that deal goes down Denver saves about 3 million this year and that's it.

                That ain't no real savings

                    I read somewhere that if they trade with the Lakers, Nene would be going to LA too as cap relief. Not sure how it would work, but I read that somewhere.

                      Melo should go join AI on that Turkish team. I mean could you imagine how many titles those two could win? They'd dominate the competition like Jordan/Pippen.

                        I don't know where your getting that info but it's wrong. Nene has an opt out clause after this year which he probably will and has said he wants to stay in Denver for a long-term and Denver also want him here. If someone's is getting traded for cap relief, it's Al Harrington.

                        Anyways, this ain't happening but if it does. I want our GM fired, I rather keep Melo and lose him end of yr than trade him now and get Bynum

                          This Melo to LA news is hilarious to me. If it goes down, I totally called it.

                            If the 'Melo to Lakers were to actually happen, it'd be bigger than the 'Big3' in Miami, in my opinion.

                            Imagine Carmelo & Kobe together, with Odom an Pau in the paint
                            they'd be set up to repeat without a doubt

                            and if it happened, and the Heat & Lakers made the finals, it'd be one hell of an NBA Finals

                            I hope it happens
                            Its far more interesting than 'melo to the Knicks

                              Man at first I was against all the best players joining up on the same teams but now I want to see those teams play each other. Imagine

                              Lakers: Kobe, Carmelo, Pau
                              Miami: Wade, LeBron, Bosh
                              Knicks: Amare, Paul, Dwight (its possible in a few yrs)

                              With the role players involved it would just be interesting to see who would win. So far it looks like Bynum for Carmelo is the best offer Denver is seeing. They can't hold onto Carmelo an let him walk in the offseason. They need to at least get something back. I feel the Knicks aren't really breaking their backs to get Melo because they most likely can easily sign him in the offseason an keep all their young players, but what if LA does acquire Melo. Will he resign with them or would he still leave for New york?

                                'Melo probably already knows this, but his best option is to stay in Denver until after the season, then be free to go where he wants like LeBron did
