Ya I really don't see Melo in LA unless he really commits to a contract, which he won't. This is probably just testing the waters and to up the interest for Melo.

to the topic on hand, i dont see how this trade really helps the lakers. their issue this season has been streaky, inefficient offense, and inconsistent defense. giving away their only legit post defender, and taking shots away from Gasol (their most efficient scorer) and giving them to a volume scorer are not good things at all.

its possible it may end up working extremely well, but i think there is a lot of risk here.

Well let me splain it to you…Mitch starts chipping away at offers months & in the Gasol case, years before the trade happens…The Clippers are the Clippers…Eventually they let their best players go for a few draft choices so they can land the next star, play him for a few years at a modest salary & then let him go…

Blake Griffin enjoys playing in Staples Center, The Sistine Chapel of Basketball…He is not going to want to play in New Jersey or Cleveland if you catch my drift…:toast

This is just to scare the Knicks to throw more pieces in. Plus LA doesn't do this deal unless:

1.)They get Denver to take on Artest/Walton and get Nene in return (Doubt it since Denver wants to shed salary).

2.)They get Melo to agree on an extension.

Denver taking Artest would be an atrocious, collusion-like move..shit, anybody taking Artest, would be stupid..

Bynum is a nice asset, but his injury history is obviously sketchy, and his huge contract makes it even worse..taking him on is a huge risk IMO, I don't know if it's worth it..from Denver's standpoint, I could see them taking on Bynum, since Anthony is leaving anyways, but taking Artest would be pure stupidity..


I don't know how I would feel about a Bynum for Anthony deal, though..quick glance, it looks like it would hurt the Lakers, since it would cripple their D, kill any depth up front, and negate their size/length advantage(which is obviously their main strength), but still, acquiring a top 10 player is obviously very intriguing, especially with Phil Jackson as his coach..

Roger Freemason Jr.
02-08-2011, 01:48 PM
It ain't happening, because that three team trade between the Knicks, Nuggets, & Wolves is ideal for all of them. Especially since Carmelo physically expressed interest in becoming a Knick. Melo needs the spot-light, & in NY he can have it just like he did in Denver, but this time he'd be surrounded by quality players, especially in Stoud.

Why would Denver want a most likely permanently knee injured Bynum?

Collusion b.s. all over again.

Kombe and Melo are so similar tho. :lol

Most folks around here right now are saying Bynum for Melo would be bad for the Lakers. I bet you if this trade went through half of you would start crying about a collusion again when the Lakers start dominating. What does L.A really lose in giving away a player who is consistently injured? Yes, he is a good defender but his defense can be replaced. Getting Melo, makes the Lakers even harder to guard because they would have three players who can command a double team (Kobe, Melo, Gasol).

And the Lakers wouldn't even have to give up any of their key role players like : Lamar Odom, Fish, Brown, Barnes, Artest, or Steve Blake. Personally, I can't even imagine why Denver would want to trade Glass Knees for their franchise player. Why would you want to trade a top 10 Nba Player for someone who has only played a full season once in his career?

I don't think a combo of Melo/Gasol/Kobe would really gel, there would be nights it would work but Kobe needs the ball in his hands to score and so does Melo. LA would lose size which has given them an advantge over teams the past 4 seasons with Gasol/Bynum/Odom. If they lose size they might be better offensively but it would put more pressure on Gasol to play more defense in the low post. I think this possible trade helps them offensively but they lose something defensively. Which is why I think this whole scenario will not happen, the Lakers should try and upgrade at the PG position to get a quicker better PG, like Kirk Hinrich. They have Kobe to go to, they don't need to rent Melo.

Good point. I think that their bigs are what makes the Lakers scary, one of the most obvious ones being Bynum. If Bynum gets injured, I don't think Lakers will ring this year.

That said, is Melo better than Bynum? Of course. But for THIS Lakers team, Bynum is more useful.

either you are being massively sarcastic, you are a fucking liar, or you are a bigger dumbass than anyone already thought you were. chances are, its one of the latter two.

You and your army again?

I would love to meet the anyone who is backing you and shake their hands. Would take a very long time to do so, but hey, I am a social guy.

EDIT: I apologize for alluding to you having a massive man crush on Kobe. It's just that I keep noticing that you and anyone on this board can't stand people having any negative comments about the 81-point scoring 5-time NBA championship winning Mr. Bryant.

What I would love is to see you explain how Shannon Brown is remotely similar to A.I.? Either that, or for you to take the lefty route and say "I was bullshitting all along to bait guys like you into this trap, LOLOLOLOLOLOL im clever"

Didn't realize you have a man crush on me as well! You have tracking my post with these amazing statistics.

And obviously the Shannon Brown comment was a throw-away joke.

Man, you need to loosen up about the game-face that you have incorporated from watching so much Kobe.

EDIT: Say "Hi" to anybody to me. While you are at it, get some Valentine's Day present for everyone as well. I will see if I can pay you back later with a Kobe Bryant video in the future.

LOL, not getting the Shannon Brown stunt was another diss on your favourite love boy.

On another note, I am glad you can think of your man Kobe Bryant whenever someone mentioned ballhog. But then, you think of him no matter what was said.

I guess you should watch the 10 Finals during Valentine's Day.

bynum + lamar would be too much an expense imho. melo will sign for NY when he turns free the comin summer. teams know it would only be a loan deal if they got him at this time hence they ain't bidding too much for him. Lakers would just call up some good triggas like rudy gay from their reserve squad if they feel shorthanded

Denver is no longer in the drivers seat. As time moves on Melo makes the call more and more. I would just want to shed his big ass contract and get some young talent. Denver isn't going to see a ring in the next 4 years, most likely, so why keep paying a guy like he's bringing home the hardware? He's not Ming, he doesn't own China, drop the fucker like a toilet seat and move on.

I suppose doing nothing and letting him walk and do a Lebron to the Nugs is the better move?
