We have a realistic shot if he isn't willing to sign with the Nets as long as we aren't demanding he sign an extension before the trade.
Melo is going to New Jersery! Denver is just waiting till the trade deadline because they are going to get NJ 2011 unprotected first round pick. Right now NJ has the 4th worst record in the league. Giving them Carmelo now will improve their record significantly and weaken the value of that draft pick. The NJ offer will be there for DEN at the deadline, no need to trade Melo now.
He better be, considering how much he hurts his team the rest of the game. There's a reason he's only made it out of the first round once despite having a strong front court all these years.
Hispanic isn't a race, it's an ethnicity. Technically he's considered both since his father was Puerto Rican.
Of course, he wants the money....but he also wants to go somewhere he wants to go...... After the Knicks dealt Randolph to Minny for a future first, I think they might just get him this year instead of next. DD
