How many years left on Dengs contract?

From all accounts Anthony would sign an extension with the Bulls.

Really? Okay. You can take Taj and Deng and I'll take Anthony.

_________________

This argument is dumb. Denver doesn't want Deng, so the only package that will get it done is one with Noah. This team will fail if he isn't your starting center. By trading Noah you would be fixing the SG problem, but creating an even bigger problem in the middle.

_________________

That's fine. For the sake of the Bulls franchise I hope that the guys making the decisions don't believe that Deng and Taj gets them closer to a title than having Melo would. Something tells me NO ONE in the NBA thinks that way.

_________________

You were probably one of the guys like Mike north who said the Bulls should not give up Deng for Kobe. If Denver is dumb enough to give up Anthoney for Taj and Deng it is a no brainer.

_________________

I think the problem at center can be filled a lot easier than you believe. Having Melo will cover a lot of issues. Would you trade Noah for LeBron or Kobe? If your answer is yes to either of those players then you should do the same for Melo. At this point the Bulls may not have to. The Nuggets will soon see the writing on the wall and take the best deal. With the Nets out right now the Bulls have the best assets to offer even without including Noah.

_________________

the Bulls as presently constructed are not winning a championship. So that's not a great argument.

So you think Deng is as good as Carmelo? Cause you appear to be comparing them for some reason.

can this team win a championship as currently constructed? What steps would you take to make this a championship team? Of course Denver doesn't want Deng, unless we would take Al Harrington, perhaps....

So you'd rather have Deng than Anthony, all things considered?

Deng has his moments, but he can also be a complete non-factor.

Ex: He shot 2-11, on Tuesday against the Bobcats. If he even shoots 27% (3-11), Bulls win the game. Deng cannot take over a game, like Melo.

So, it's about the money? And what talent? Noah or Gibson?

Carmelo can play good defense. Witness Lakers vs. Nuggets in the playoffs, Kobe vs. Carmelo. Carmelo's a man, a complete game changer. Deng's a boy.

WHAT? Are you serious? Anthony draws the double teams and Rose goes for 50! Whut?! You need to look further than stats, man.

Have you watched Nuggets games? How many have you seen this season, for example? Do you know how Carmelo gets his shots?

Wow, I think we have a new contender for the position of most ignorant NBA thoughts on the CSFMB

careful. You're going to have to side with me on this one.

I know, it is a rather scary position to be in.

Basically there are 3 scenarios to this trade:

Deng + package FOR Melo w/no extension (Im on the fence with this. Giving up a bunch for a rent-a-player is a big gamble, especially for such a young team)

Deng + Package FOR Melo w/extension (I make this deal in a heartbeat)

Noah + Package FOR Melo w/extension (I still wouldn't make this deal, You could pickup a decent shooter to fill that hole and not have to give up as much as this)

but are they a championship team in scenerio 3?

The Nets and Knicks won't take Harrington. I would take Harrington if it meant keeping Noah.

Assists Per game for the Nugs:

Billups 5.3
Lawson 4.0
Melo 2.9

Third on the team. Some ball-hog.

The more I read about this, the more I'm starting to think Carmelo Anthony will finish this season with the Denver Nuggets. I'm also under the impression that Carmelo's wife, former MTV VJ LaLa Vasquez, is trying to force a deal with the New York Knicks. It's not just Carmelo wanting to play with Amare Stoudemire, but LaLa wants to shop and increase her own profile as a celebrity. This as the Knicks don't have what the Nuggets are really looking for in return.

, that 3 times a game where he's giving the ball to a teammate to score is really telling.

That Harrington contract is absolutely terrible. If the Bulls can unload Deng and some package, I wouldn't mind taking him, but that is just dumb money that he is being paid.

_________________

The Nuggets want to trade Carmelo in the worst way, but he doesn't want to go to New Jersey and he doesn't want to come here either, even if there's a multi-year extension involved. It's either the Knicks or nothing...

So, if Melo goes to the Bulls and Deng and say Gibson go to the Nuggs, which team has the better record the rest of the way?

it is, but it could be the difference between making the trade without sending Noah or not making the trade at all. I'm certain the Bulls won't trade Noah.

There was talk of a three-way deal involving the Nets & Pistons which never came to fruition either. It's a little sketchy on my part, but Carmelo & Chauncey Billups were mentioned going to New Jersey, Devin Harris to Denver and one of those guys with an expiring contract going to Detroit...The name escapes me at the moment, but it was kinda complex just trying to mention it...

you forgot a stat.
