Not going to happen. Non-issue
Why is gray spurfan getting all preemptively asshurt over this? The Mavs have no shot at getting Carmelo.
yeah just like they have no shot at a le ever!!!!!!

A Melo rental would be worth it for the Mavs, but as many have mentioned the Mavs don't exactly have much to offer the Nuggets. Melo fits with Dirk since Melo can work the midpost to Dirk out on the perimeter for a really impressive 2 man game on offense. I don't think the defense suffers that much and the pros on offense outweigh the fact that Melo isn't a great defender. Beaubois isn't that much of a trade asset for the Nuggets imo because the Nuggets would likely rather get young talent in the front court. With Lawson and Afflalo, the need for an undersized shooting guard isn't really there. And Dallas doesn't have high draft picks to entice a deal to work. But if the Mavs could work out a deal, I think they should definitely do it even though they're playing really well so far. Adding Melo definitely helps their chances.
the overflow of gray spurfans so far this season is vomit inducing.
TBH, this is a great take, imho
if they do it, three guys that needs to be off limits for this trade are Dirk, Chandler, and Kidd. Dirk and Kidd are pretty much not going to be touched obviously, but I'd be really pissed if they included Chandler in the deal, unless we got Nene back, but even then, I'd rather have Chandler. His effect on the team on both sides of the ball is worth an awful lot. If they could pull the trade off for Butler, Roddy, picks/filler/cash, or something along those lines (obviously NOT going to happen) then I'd be happy.
Won't matter. Dirk will still choke.
Do you think they do?
I really can't see them sending Chandler away. It's obvious to even the most casual GNSF that Tyson has been the difference for them this year. They've never had such a dominant presence inside, especially one w/ such athleticism (sans Ian "Chamberlain" Mahinmi).
Stephenson has been playin his ass off this year, so his addition in a trade might make things interesting...
Would be pointless for the Nuggets to demand Chandler. He's an expiring and almost certainly wouldn't want to stay in Denver especially with Melo gone. And if it's about the "expiring contract," the Mavs have other expirings in Butler and Stevenson to do the same thing. The Mavs don't have the pieces, but if they were somehow able to strike a deal, I don't think they would need to part with Chandler.
Sometimes I think Cuban is his own worst enemy...
The Mavs are seemingly always poised to enter in huge trades which shows ya how flexible that organization is. I'd love to see a scoring talent like Melo get set up by Jason Kidd and double teams on Dirk except when they're playing against the Spurs...with Melo on board the Mavs would be the best team in the league especially if they can somehow keep both Haywood and Chandler too.
They should tank for the #1 pick. That's so much more respectable.
If they pulled off a trade where they keep Kidd, Dirk, Chandler, and Haywood, I would then my pants.
You wanna KEEP Haywood? I thought he was DAL's favorite whipping boy this season...? (of course, whipping him WITH the lifeless body of JJ)
Truth is, not many teams have a pair of starting-caliber centers. Haywood's issue is simply that he feels slighted that he didn't get the starting job. But there is no questioning that he has ability and is a quality center in the NBA. It's hard enough getting one, much less two. For there to be an issue over centers, the issue being that you have two starting caliber centers is a pretty nice issue to have.
But I do like Mahinimi at the same time. He always produces when on the floor, even in non-garbage time minutes. If they lost Haywood, I am confident that Mahinimi can still give quality backup center minutes.
Mahinmi-Dirk-Anthony = frontcourt domination.
In order to beat LA, you need a formidable lineup down low, and that is why Haywood is so valuable. He does play pretty good post defense and that's all the Mavs really need from him.
I don't think the Mavs should mess with what they have. I hate to be like Charlie Brown kicking a football, but the Mavs look like a legitimate championship contender at this point.
I agree. I think adding Roddy would bring the #1 missing element, which is a guy who can penetrate and hit open jumpers consistently to relieve offensive pressure from Dirk throughout the game, especially while Dirk is out.
its all over when terry can't hit jumpers......and we know that time is coming.
Watchin Ian on the sidelines last night leading the cheering section on the bench, you could tell he's much happier there. That energy and enthusiasm (something he understandably lacked in SA) can only benefit him on the court...
Roddy is being relied on too much.To just expect him to be the clear cut #2 guy on a nightly basis is expecting way too much. If the Mavs just stand pat, they will be good enough to compete but not seriously contend. They have the D and the superstar, but they lack that #2 guy.
