    He misses quite a few games every season so he pretty much already is a Rocket.

    Please get it done, Morey!!

    (Just don't trade away Martin; that would leave us kind of weak at SG!)

    See Morey knew this already! That's why he traded Ariza for Courtney Lee so we could include Kevin Martin as a part of the deal for Anthony!

    Martin, Battier or Buddinger, Hill or Patterson, & the Knicks picks should be enough to get the Nuggets attention! :grin:

    Brooks
    Lee
    Anthony
    Scola
    Yao

    lol, how crazy would it be if we ended up with Melo before the season starts? too bad we traded Ariza, he would have been another asset.

    Bringing in another scorer with no D is no help.

    while you dont sound sir-ee-us, it could still be the actual reasoning behind this :(

    And I am pretty sure that only way peeps dont want him here is as a 1 year rental, if he snt's, thats a whole dif story.

    % of shots made by melo that were assisted (numbers from hoopdata):
    2010 - 41.6%, 2009 - 48%, 2008 - 58.1%, 2007 - 58.9%


    Brooks + Hill + Battier + Jeffries = $18,695,803
    Melo + Lawson = $18,924,412

    Get it done and we will be a serious contender immediately. A star. A true talent. But why not many teams want him?

    Melo's not a bad defender. Is he Shane Battier? No. But he's not Mike Bibby either.

    They're not going to want Brooks ... I just realized that. With Billups and then Lawson waiting in the wings.

    Unless a third team gets involved, we would have to get it done with Martin ... or hope they'll settle for a package of young players and picks with no bona-fide young proven starter (combo of Hill, Budinger, Patterson, picks with Jeffries and Battier).
