    If we want him bad enough we can get him. There's no other team in the league that can offer a better package than us with young talent, expirings, picks etc. That's the bottom line. It's up to Morey to offer an attractive package that will get Denver to bite while not giving up too much i.e Both BROOKS and MARTIN.

    battier, jeffries, hill + picks to make this deal happen.

    I really hope we don't ship out kmartin though. That would kinda suck.

    I have a feeling that the Russian dude will go crazy and offer Derrick Favors along with other assets, if he does that we are screwed, but man, if I had to choose a GM to pull it off, DM would be

    Do the Nets even have the assets it would take to land a player like Carmelo?

    Their best players are Favors, Lopez and Harris but Favors and Lopez appear fairly untouchable.

    Between the Nets and Rockets the Rockets clearly have more assets to offer. A ton of cheap talent, TE's, picks, pick considerations, etc...

    The only one-up the Nets have is a desperate owner who is willing to take on salary to make a big splash.

    Wouldn't offering PG's to Denver be a waste? They already have Billups and Lawson...

    Nets main pieces are Favors and Lopez...but not both. Favors would no doubt WIN this for NJ in my book.

    Hopefully this isn't another Schobel/Orlando Pace/Chris Bosh situation. My offseason acquisition blue balls are killing me.

    Gotta get this done without shipping Kmart

    How about

    Send:
    Battier (Agree to buyout)
    Jeffries
    Hill
    Lee
    2012 Swap

    For:
    Melo (With signed extension)

    Lineup would look like
    Brooks/Lowry
    Martin/Bud?
    Melo/Battier
    Scola/Hayes/Patterson
    Yao/Miller

    Contenders for sure
