Moving this thread to the Lakers forum, since that's the team Melo's going to play his next game for.

Melo at SF, your thoughts?

Got no problem with it. Will totally overpower the other teams SF in the post and get to the line. Can't play defense on the other end REGARDLESS of what position he is playing. All for it.

Permit me to defend this a bit:

1. If, at the end of the day we rid ourselves of Roy's contract and pipe dreams for a healthy Oden - and in doing so, we obtain Nene, then this is a successful trade for Portland.

2. Let's suppose this trade went down, the (new and improved) Blazers were to find some chemistry - do you not think our chances to dethrown the Fakers would not be increased this season? I truly believe that if we can get by the Lakers and Dallas, we get into the Finals with Miller + Matthews + Carmelo + LMA + Nene, with Camby and Rudy and others contributing. Shoot, we might just win a title.

3. Now let's then suppose we make it to the Finals - even win it.....you don't think Carmelo would THEN re-sign with Portland and the Owner with the deepest pockets in the league? I think we'd have an 85% chance of seeing Carmelo stay put.

4. So we make it to the Finals (this season) maybe even win it, Carmelo signs a new contract.....you with me so far? We move Camby and Miller and bring in CP3 - shoot, a sign and trade would most likely work with New Orleans for this package of players, especially if CP3 says he's going to Portland.


Imagine (which is what we do when we propose blockbuster trades afterall) a starting lineup of:

CP3 + Matthews + Carmelo + LMA + Nene (with Rudy as our 6th man)

I'll run this line-up against Miami, LA, Boston any day of the week.


Oh yeh, so why does Denver do this? For more reasons than what they'd get in return from any other team. The Knicks and Nets can offer crap in comparison to Roy + Oden + Pryz + Batum. Come on! Batum alone is better than what either the Knicks or Nets have to offer. And if Roy returns to form - and if Oden ever does play - Denver is way ahead. And Pryz can expire and they wind up under the cap too boot. So Denver would be dumb to pass on this offer over anything the Knicks or Nets can muster up. The larger question is "why does Portland do this?" We do this to get Carmelo and Nene. We already have a PG and 2 and a 4. We need a top 3 and a tough 5. And in a year or two, we can replace Miller (and other expiring contracts, like Camby) and seek out CP3 or another PG of the future.

Am I really the first one to like this post? I laughed out loud when I just read it. It's actually a good trade lol and we might've won title.
