Where do you think Melo will go?


Ok so I have been looking around on other sites to see what they would give up to get Melo, I saw a post like this a while back (when CP3 fiasco was going about)  and I thought I would make one for Melo. Ive Included almost all of the teams that has ever been talked about to be in the racing for Melo. I would like for you guys to post who you think Melo will go to and your trade scenario's. Also i think Cash Considerations would be involved in almost all of these trades. Please let me know if I left any teams out, I will go back and edit to include them. Thanks! 

BTW: I know there are alot of posts already about Melo on here, just figured I'd change it up and instead of seeing what we would give for him see what other teams would give. 

Star-divide

Nets: Looks like alot of Nets fans would NOT want to give up Twill or Favors. So from what i understand from some comments that it would be Murphy, James, Humphrey, and 2 or 3 first round picks, for Melo. There are also a post or two about a deal to get CP3 and Melo. Read More Here On Nets Fan Page

Kings: They have one post about Melo and the trade proposed on that thread is Landry, Casspi, 1st and 2nd round for Melo. Some also say Donte, JT 1st and 2nd. Would be a possibility.  The Nets Tade Post

 Rockets: There was one post on August 24th I found over on the dream shake, some comments also revolved around a CP3 and Melo Package, Some fans say they would not give up Brooks, Lowery or Lee. So that would leave with a deal including Martin, Jefferies, Taylor, and Hill. Some/A draft picks also. For Melo. Read More Here On The Dream Shake

Timber Wolves: They have two first round draft picks next year, many of the comments and post's say they would only give up one and a package of Flynn, Beasley, Brewer, for Melo. Also Other packages Including both First round picks and players like Webster, Johnson,  Love, and Ricky. Read More Here

 Knicks: There is a lot of Posts about this including many different Players, they talked about a deal that NY has supposedly offer to Denver this trade was Danilo, Curry, 1st Rounder, for Melo.  Most fans think that they will have to give up either Gallo or AR also, although most say they will not give them both up.  Posting And Toasting Fan Page

Clippers: The trade that most of the fans their like is Kaman, Aminu, 1st Rd pick for Melo, there are discussions about a three team deal. It seems though that the only players the fans will not give up is Griffin.Read More About The Clips Trade

Warriors: Monta, Vlad, Udoh, Wright, Curry, and Ellise has all been talked about (not all in one package deal). Seems like the players they would hate to trade would be Curry and Lee. Golden State Of Mind

Wizards: J wall seems like the only protected player on the fan site, but the main deal talked about is Blache, Howard, Thorton, and draft picks, although some realize that that is not within the 125% rule (Melo is worth 17.1 Mil, all three of thoes are worth 9 mil) so the trade would not work, you would have to include Hinrich for this trade to work. Read More

Magic: There is many posts about getting Melo, most of them include getting other players. One three team deal that was brought up included the Pacers. It would send Melo, Thomson, Dunlevy to The Magic and overall they would loose Carter, Peiturs, Bass Gortat, and draft picks. The other deal would land Orlando Billups and Melo in exchange for Nelson, VC, Peturs, draft picks (and maybe JJ).Pinstripe Page.

Denver: Ive been reading around their trying to see what the fans think is going to happen to their hometown hero, Many of them are saying it is "verry possible" and "a good thing" , (other than him leaving in F.A). Their are so many trades on their page i cant list them all, but some do include Birdman, Billups, JR, most are three and some even four team trades. Their is a Poll on the page that is headline " Do you think Melo Will Be In Denver Next year?" The it is 57% yes and 42% no (Although there isn't that many votes[28]. I will let you read into some of the trade options if you would like, Click Here.

Bobcats: Save the best for last? Well this is the one ive been reading the most, Ha. So ill know more of who most of us would want to give up. It seems as if more of the trades involve a three team deal to get Brooks or Billups. If the Bobcats are involved in a three team deal we feel that all we need to give up is Damp. If we want Melo it seems we will need to Give up Damp, and a Combo of DJ ,Brown, Hendo, 2 draft picks OR Crash and DJ.

We'd likely lose Biedrins since Denver tried to get him earlier from us

Melo's all-offense, "what's defense?" defense

fits perfectly with Don Nelson’s style of basketball of the same name. Curry, Melo, and David Lee would be amazing

I voted Knicks, cause he'll prolly end up there

But he Deserves to go to the clippers.

Then Aminu will blow up and be ridiculous and the Clips will just blow so Denver gets a lottery pick.

by dudemanhey on Aug 31, 2010 12:31 AM EDT reply actions  

Why isn't Denver on the list?

I still think that’s the most likely outcome at least as long as Denver is willing to put up with him.

by ClipCat on Aug 31, 2010 9:50 AM EDT reply actions  

Just because it seems like he is on the trading block, and from almost everything I have read nothing said anything about him returning to Denver, although i will add them to the ballot.

I win as if im used to it, and i loose as if i like it for a change.

And why not ima go check out their fan page, see what their fans are thinking.

Chances do look good that he'll be traded

But that doesn’t mean it has to happen, especially not right away. With so many options out there, no other team is a more likely destination than Denver.

by ClipCat on Aug 31, 2010 5:45 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah

For the sake of this post though it was to see what other teams would give for him, i agree there is a chance he will stay, but id say maybe a 70ish% chance he will be trade (IMO) Ive added Denver to the list, and also posted whats over on their SB Fanpage

I win as if im used to it, and i loose as if i like it for a change.

by Noahzack on Aug 31, 2010 6:18 PM EDT up reply actions  

Thanks, and it looks like one other brave soul agreed with me about him staying in Denver. For what it’s worth, here’s a link to a recent article discussing Denver’s efforts to convince him to remain a Nugget.

by ClipCat on Sep 1, 2010 10:43 AM EDT up reply actions  

I pick the Nets over several quality options.

The Nets will not give up Lopez but I think they will surrender Favors, Outlaw, Harris plus a pick to get a resigned Melo now. The Cats will likely benefit on this by either sending Damp to Denver for Billups, or participate in the deal as a 3-way that sends Damp to Denver, and Harris or Billups to us in some form or another.

by Bassnote on Aug 31, 2010 3:54 PM EDT reply actions  

Outlaw, Farmar, Morrow, and Petro can't be traded until December 15

Rules on free agent signings prohibit them from being traded before then. Murphy has to wait 60 days to be included with other players (I think… same reason we’re waiting with Dampier). Makes things difficult for them.

by drapht00 on Aug 31, 2010 5:07 PM EDT up reply actions  

Duh...slap me in the head..I zonked out on those facts

Thanks for the reality check drapht00. That means they are REALLY in a tough spot.

Melo-ed out...

As long as Carm doesn’t end up in CHA, i don’t care. Could someone please tell me what is so awful about the Nuggs? He is in a great situation, and all he can do is whine his way out of town. I do not want a player like that on my team even if he is a “superstar”. I just hope we don’t miss on a great opportunity to pick up a player as a third team in a trade scenario. That whole Collison trade is still not completely out of my head. I don’t want to get left out of something like that again…Totally off topic, but i had a dream last night that we traded for Okafor. I know i’m crazy, but am i also still dreaming???

by kittylover on Aug 31, 2010 4:13 PM EDT reply actions  

It could happen..

but I seriously doubt it. Within the realm of possibilities we could deal for Okafor using Diaw and DJ (they need a reserve PG) but that would leave them without a 5 so I don’t see that happening.

by Bassnote on Aug 31, 2010 4:30 PM EDT up reply actions  

I agree

I dont want him on my team either (exspecailly after reaing this twitter post) but i think we could benifit from this deal if we get involved as a third team, thats why i think its important to us. http://www.denverstiffs.com/2010/8/31/1660538/i-dont-think-melo-was-hacked-and-i

Jamal Crawford

Guys, I know this post is about Melo, but I’m hearing a few teams have contacted Atl about Jamal Crawford…good fit for the Cats? I’m sure he’s going to want a huge contract if traded, so not sure it works…what does everyone else think?

by jgbball on Sep 1, 2010 9:29 AM EDT reply actions  

That's all it says

“As for Jamal’s value on the trade market, I’m told at least three teams inquired about his availability before the pay-me-or-trade-me news came out but were rebuffed by the Hawks. I’ve got to think Sund will try to re-establish those talks now and listen to any other offers that come in.”

He'd be a great 6th man here,

but I don’t think we have the pieces to offer Atlanta.

by Charlotte Bobcat on Sep 1, 2010 10:38 AM EDT up reply actions  

give them Diaw

Crawford would be a much better 6th man than Diaw. I think you’d have to throw in a guard. DJ probably. Though trade machine says Atlanta would have to use up some of a trade exception then. I doubt Atlanta would want that though unless we could give them at least one 2nd rounder, maybe 2.

by albesir on Sep 1, 2010 12:58 PM EDT up reply actions  

oops read it wrong

it just gives the option of using the trade exception. I it doesn’t have to be used. still, I can’t see Atlanta wanting to do the trade.

by albesir on Sep 1, 2010 1:04 PM EDT up reply actions  

Don't want him

Reports say he want’s a contract extension in the neighbourhood of 8 – 10 mil a year. Too expensive and too old.

by Warmec on Sep 4, 2010 6:49 AM EDT up reply actions  

A guy can dream can't he?

I’d like to be names an assistant coach for the Bobcats…and eventually take over the head coach job…but that call hasn’t come in yet

Your ship may have sailed

I hear they had it narrowed down to you or Sam Vincent a few years back and they chose Sam. Tough luck.

Wow...

that really hurts…guess everyone saw what a bad choice they made

by andrewlail76 on Sep 4, 2010 3:37 PM EDT up reply actions  

I don't like it

At what point do you want to completely kill Gerald Henderson’s development for the sake of a good 6th man now?

Basically that’s what you’re doing if you get Crawford. I’d much rather the team work on developing Henderson than spending $8 million plus on a 6th man.

by James Dator on Sep 2, 2010 9:11 AM EDT up reply actions  

Amen

No to Crawford.

This will be Hendo’s year. He’s already a defensive beast at the SG and if he can develop a jumper, he’ll be a very effective bench player/6th man. If he can get at least 20 minutes a game, I bet he’d be a 12pt/7rb/4a/2st a game player. He’s got the basketball IQ and the athleticism. He just needs a jumper and a chance.

I think he and Carrol can play together as well which will help diversify the 2nd team offense. I really hope we can see what this kid’s got before he gets shipped off to whoknowswhere.

by blueridgecat on Sep 2, 2010 4:27 PM EDT up reply actions  

I am not a huge Henderson fan, but at this point in his career he has a similar skill level to GW. I just want to know if he has the hunger that has made GW go from an athletic project, to an all-star. I give him till the break to show me something. Anything….

by kittylover on Sep 2, 2010 6:53 PM EDT up reply actions  

I like the concept

Although I don’t think they can pawn Diaw off on anyone. DJ and Nazr might work but I’m a little afraid of giving up another first round pick considering we already gave up one for Tyrus. Although as poorly as the Cats draft, maybe it’s not a bad thing.

As for the Melo/Wallace debate, I don’t want to beat a dead horse too hard. I’d be thrilled to put better pieces around Wallace and if the Cats could work something out like mentioned in this article, that would be great.
