    Why would the Nuggets want Yao Ming?

    Assid,

    If you are Denver, maybe you want to get rid of more than just Anderson's contract, but Nene's too....or Billups....

    And force another team to pay significant Lux tax.....

    There is no way Les does that...I am not sure the Nyets would either, but he seems more like Cuban than Alexander.

    As for what the team has been waiting for, not sure...Melo is good, but he is not a winner, IMO....he is a ball and stat hog.....

    I would take the shot, and hope that he has just not matured yet.....but only for the right price.

    We could absorb Billups " bad " contract as well.

    Houston gets
    Carmelo Anthony
    Chauncey Billups

    Denver gets
    Brooks
    Battier
    Patterson
    Hill
    Hayes
    Jeffries
    Harris
    Johnson
    draft picks

    In a seperate deal we could absorb Anderson's contract using Ariza's trade exception.

    Billups/Lowry
    Lee/Taylor
    Melo/Budinger
    Scola/Anderson
    Yao/Miller

    That reduces the Nuggets payroll by 9.5 million.

    Are our potential deals better than what the Bulls and Magic can offer? I ask because another writer added those 2 teams to the mix.

    ....except Denver can't go over the player # cap in a trade so you would have to put another 5 or 6 guys in that trade from Denver to make that work out. Denver can't absorb 6 extra guys in a trade - that would give them 20 players under contract which is not legal.

    Remember the CBA rules young grasshopper...

    That rule doesn't apply during the off-season.

    That would gut our front court depth, and who in the hell is Anderson?

    Ummmm.....if they don't have an all star quality big man, then what is dirk? I know you could argue that since he can play the wing and has skills to play a wing, he actually is a PF who averages over 8 rebounds a game for his career?

    I dont understand your logic on how Melo is not a winner?

    He won a national championship in college, he won an Olympic gold medal for the US and took his team to the WCF. He actually put the Nuggets back on the NBA map ever since he joined them back in 03'. Please explain how this guy is not a winner?

    You talk about Melo being overrated but look what you do to half the Rockets I.E. Budinger and Wafer.

    Do you think LeBron or Wade could lead that Denver team farther than Carmelo did? I dont think so.

    This is Anderson, a shot blocking machine, nothing like our former Anderson.

    Yes he is.

    Also Melo wants to play with an all star caliber center and he knows that's what you have to have to win in this league. It's not coincidence that the teams that are being mentioned in the Melo sweepstakes are Orlando, New Jersey and Houston, all that have all star or near all star calibar centers on their rosters.

    Mavricks can't touch our roster from top to bottom and they have nothing to offer the Nuggets.
