    Re: The Carmelo Anthony Saga

    If the Nets get Augustine in this deal, losing Harris really isn't that bad. They can get by with Farmar and Augustine splitting time and having a frontcourt of Anthony, Murphy and Lopez. That's a real solid front court.

        Got to feel sorry for the Nuggets.

        They are basically set to go from a potential WCF team....to the worst spot in the NBA, that being 'no man's land'. I.e. not good enough to compete / not bad enough to rebuild. They'd be looking at years of the 8th spot with any of these trades.

        Better to blow the whole thing up and demand any team that wants Melo takes K-Mart / Chauncey etc with them and get tonnes of picks.

          Yeah, Denver does Chancey and KMart as expirings to trade away.

          NY Daily News has reported that Melo has signed off on an extension with the Nets. Deal could come as early as tomorrow.

          Wow.

            Crazy. I can't wait since they show every Nets game on TV here I think.

                OK so who thinks the Nets can reach the playoffs?

                DJ/Morrow/Melo/Murphy/Lopez
                Farmar/Williams/Outlaw/Damien James/Hump/Petro

                I wouldn't be surprised. A lot of other folks on other boards think they have slim odds to reach the post season.

                I have 6 locked in: Heat, Magic, Celtics, Bulls, Hawks, Bucks

                Next group I have: NY, CHA, Washington
                Next group: Philly, DET and NJ

                  Co-sign. Big men that give 110% on both ends of the floor every night is very hard to come by in this league. When you find one you better keep him.
                  EA and 2k have the unfortunate task of trying to balance on a tightrope of fun and sim while trying not to fall 10,000 feet to their death. Instead of a safety net waiting down below there will just be angry customers quick to move out of the way and talk of their failure.

                    They should make someone take J.R. too.

                      Bobcats get: Devin Harris, Hayes
                      Jazz get: Diaw, Ross
                      Nuggets get: AK 47, Favors and a 1st round pick which will be determined by how Golden State finishes the season

                      So is this basically the trade that has just gone down?

                        With Melo gone their going to need his scoring. Hopefully he realize the opportunity he has to become a star and grow the hell up.

                          I don't quite understand all this Joakim Noah hype. He's a career 8 and 8 guy and you're willing to keep him over Melo, a perennial all star and a future HOF? Noah is a more developed Serge Ibaka(I actually think Serge will end up being the better player, but I digress) and we're really sitting here arguing about whether or not you'd keep him over a top 5 player in the league? I don't quite understand the logic in that.

                          And for those claiming this league is point guard driven, how many of these great PG's have rings? Neither or the last two NBA champions won with a great PG, and the the Magic and Heat, the other two title favorites along with the Lakers and Celtics, also lack "great PG's". However, do you know what those teams do have in common? Superstar caliber players and great scorers.

                          I'll put it like this. If and when Oklahoma City wins a title, it won't be because Russell Westbrook was the best player on the team... For the Bulls to pass up a similar chemistry to keep Joakim is laughable at best.

                            Agreed. I never liked Noah coming out of Florida. He has far exceeded my expectations for him as a player. I respect his game now ,but I would trade him in a second for Melo. Basketball unlike any other team sport is about talent and skill. All the intagibles are nice ,but you need scorer and Melo is a top 5 scorer and a Bulls team plus a Melo and minus a Noah is way better without a doubt.

                              Bulls have scoring though. They will have 2 go to guys in Boozer and Rose. Good big men are hard to come by these days...

                                Rose has an inconsistent jumper, and Boozer alone will not be able to shoulder the scoring load. When there's 5 seconds left in the game, who's taking the final shot? Sure wont be Rose, I hardly trust him taking a shot with 48 minutes left on the clock.

                                The Bulls will regret this once New Jersey picks up Chris Paul and are contending with Miami and Orlando for a trip to the finals every season.

                                On a side note, this has been a great off season for Oklahoma City and Kevin Durant. Their trip to the conference finals just got that much easier.
