Merged: OT: Report--Nuggets "might not have any choice" but to trade Carmelo.

[PtldPlatypus]

It has been "reported" on ESPN and on 95.5, so before someone starts a thread about this without actually reading the article, here it is.

Really, it's nothing more than the writer's speculation that if Carmelo doesn't sign an extension, then the Nuggets might need to trade him rather than lose him to free agency. Nothing in here at all from the Nuggets; no actual foundation for the speculation.

Denver really isn't Melo's kind of town. More cowboy than hoodlum.

Melo could be on the block

The Nuggets are pressing Carmelo Anthony for a long-term commitment, because if he declines a three-year, $65 million contract extension now on the table, the team must consider trading its leading scorer.

Trade Melo? Would the Nuggets really part ways with a 26-year-old forward in the prime of his NBA career? Denver might not have any choice.

If Melo declines that then he's outta there, imo.

Re: Melo could be on the block

As soon as Melo talks to his agent, he's signing that deal. The new CBA is going to be a hammerblow to NBA salaries. I don't think the players understand just how fucked they're going to be.

While I will miss basketball in 2011-12, the stories of "we make a lot of money, but we spend a lot of money, too" will entertain me to no end.

For anyone familiar with Melo's hometown, being on the block has a completely different meaning.
