    But if you're comparing Gallo and Felton to Sulligner and Perry or Terrance Jones... I mean that's not that big of a gap. That's not really that bad.

    Gallo is cool but he is barely a third wheel at best at this point.

    But they are all young and have shown they can play in the NBA

    The other guys have not proven anything and you are not sure to even get them

    Why do you think the Nets are all in to trade all those picks?

    If the draft was loaded, do you think they bother with Melo?

    NOPE

        Yes. Getting Carmelo for NJ is more than just getting talent. It's about getting a known name for when they move to Brooklyn. You want to have something to bring the fans out and to be serious about the team. Getting Carmelo is not only for talent reasons but also for marketing reasons.

          I agree 100% and you are dead right on that

          But tell me this, if the draft had the talent of the 04 draft, would the Nets deal the picks to get Melo?

            Because getting Carmelo has nothing to do with helping the team ON the court.

            Getting him is for Brooklyn purposes only otherwise we wouldn't be wasting our time with this fool.

BUT who's to say that through the course of a season, he might change his mind and decide to either play for a team that's going to pay him the money(Kings and Pacers look like they have the most money to spend) OR play for a team that's got the best shot at winning the title(Bulls, Celtics, Mavs, Lakers)

              If the Knicks want him, they better get him now because I feel their chances decrease by the minute if he stays in Denver for the year.

              If he gets to free agency, he's going to the Knicks. The top teams you mentioned don't have the cap space, so he's not going there. The Knicks would be able to give him a max contract, so the teams with more cap space don't have an advantage.

              I mean, anything is possible, but you don't trade half your team because of the chance that after a year of trying to get a trade to the Knicks he's going to wake up and want to be a Pacer.

              Unfortunately, it looks like a moot point, he wants his money, no way he stays in Denver for the rest of the year.

                This.

                And on the Nuggets side, they can use the draft picks to take a stab at Sullinger, Perry Jones, Harrison Barnes, Kyrie Irving, hell even a guy like Jimmer Fredette, that guy from Colorado who's been a great scorer, or a Kris Joseph kinda guy could end up being a solid starter moving forward. At this point, Felton most likely isn't going to develop into an all-star PG, and I highly doubt Gallinari will get much better either. But those guys I listed all have potential to be good starters and one of them could make it click in the pros and become a #2 kinda guy.

                  And I agree, but if the draft was loaded and like the 04 class, would the Nets make this trade?

                  I highly doubt it

                    When is the last time there has been a draft with a guy like LeBron that was hyped up to be the next Michael Jordan? You almost never see a draft like that. With the exception of LeBron being in the draft, if I'm the Nets, I would want to make the trade for Melo just so they have a guarenteed superstar.

                      Unless there was another Lebron coming out, yes they would.

                        Perhaps, but their future is dead for the next 5 years because all they can do is FA and that requires big money

                          Nets have a chance at the top pick or 2

                            I'm so confused. I didn't think they could trade away their 2014 draft picks? The point is that they need a superstar to market when they move to Brooklyn. Melo can be that superstar. They can't afford to move to Brooklyn and not have anyone worth marketing. Nobody would bother going to their games when they can just go to the Knicks and see Amare and Melo both tear it up.

                              Yes. Those two were too much of a crapshoot to risk not having a superstar when they go to Brooklyn.

                                Again, like it's been said PLENTY of times, for NJ it is ALL about Brooklyn. They let Melo go to MSG with Amar'e, nobody is going to give a crap about us, new Arena or not.

                                I'm not saying I agree with it because I wouldn't do it, but from the Nets' perspective this is ALL about Brooklyn.
