Orlando. You know what I meant. I was just watching that video of the crazy MARTA lady, so Atlanta was on my mind.
I read this thread and could not believe the opinions of most people. Carmelo Anthony is a proven scorer who could come off screens and score off the ball all day. We could post him up on smaller forwards down in the blocks and his range would open up things for T-mac to become a playmaker cus let's face it T-mac cannot score as well as Melo anyways, and adding him as a compliment would give us IMO one of the best big 3's in the NBA. That being said... if any trade scenario included t-mac or yao i wouldn't do it but i would do battier, brooks, head, 2nd round pick for Melo
yeah if we got carmelo anthony without trading tmac yao alston scola landry... we would be favorites to win a NBA title... im pretty shure that Carmelo Anthony would mature as a man if he was in houston surrounded by great guys like yao and tmac. and possibly mutumbo if he stayed..
Wow... I thought the point of this off-season was to get a shooter...tweak the roster after winning 55 games. I bet you whatever you want, if Carmelo comes to the Rockets, Rockets win 45 games AT THE MAX. We just need to tweak...unless we are to rebuild.
While I concur, you have to admit that swapping a degenerating Tmac for a young star like Anthony is at least intriguing. DD
No, not really. Anthony is a bone-headed chucker. He's a great scorer, but can't do anything else worth a damn. If swap them straight up we'd be lucky to be fighting for the 8th seed next year.
Anthony even at his peak is still on same level athletically as Tmac right now even. The only thing that is explosive about him is his first step, everything else is just "good." Plus, he's a headcase and a freakin' ballhogger defined.
no matter what we do, say no to 'melo. never thought he'd be anything special, even when the league was maketing 'born vs 'melo round 1,2,3,4...
He cant come here tho. I looked at hoopshypes and TMac makes about 5 million than Melo so it would sort fo defeat their whole purpose or reasoning for trading him. Besides tha only players i really want fro Denver are Kleiza and JR Smith, and theyre not worth TMac. http://hoopshype.com/salaries/denver.htm http://hoopshype.com/salaries/houston.htm HOw about JR Smith & Kleiza for Head, Hayes, Novak, and Brooks.
that would probably be the nuggets' selling point. Tracy Mcgrady is around 80% of what he once was and is still has a better bball IQ and feel for the game than Melo ever will.
There's no problem to match the 13M salary: bj + frances + battier + head + first round pick, it's a decent good trade for denver, they get expiring contracts and a really good defender they need. should we do it? I am not sure, it all depends on how you value battier's defense.
