    I would just like to say that I love your posts, they are very entertaining, especially your DD talks. Incidently, I am ready for one of those. Sorry to intrude, so carry on.

    LOL, the question is if Denver's GM is also an advanced stats guy ...

    He said that Melo has expanded his list and his sources say Houston is an option.

    If Melo was a free agent he'd go to NY but he's not.

    Melo is the most physical, post playing SF in the NBA

    Melo doesn't think he can win in Denver.

    Brooks would be the player the Nuggets are after ;)

    True, but then he can be to any team other than Cleveland with his permission.

    Again - I call BS. Denver is just trying to get an imaginary bidding war going for NY to throw in some better players.

    No, it's Melo. He would give us a real closer for the first time in a long time. He would be a better closer than TMac.

    agreed on all points, and i think the key here is that this is a fair deal for both sides.

    It could be, but NY also doesn't have many picks left to toss in....they have traded tons of their picks already....

    They could offer Gallo or Randolph though.....and some cap relief......

    I think New Jersey would be the biggest threat to Houston, as they have lots of $$$$, picks and assets too.

    THEY DON'T HAVE BETTER PLAYERS!!!

    Gallo is the best young player on their team and their already offing him. The closest 1st round pick they can send in 2014!!

    Getting Melo massively increases our odds of getting Paul (under identical circumstances)
