This is such a no-brainer it's not even funny. I trade Roddy in a heartbeat for Carmelo. Even if Carmelo doesn't re-sign, it's worth it. the future, go for it right now.
Exactly. Just look at the turds Terry/Butler/everyone but Dirk dropped last season. If you go into this postseason expecting anything different, you're a fool.
The Mavericks absolutely have to have another guaranteed 20+ pt scorer alongside Dirk in the playoffs. Can Roddy be that guy? Nobody knows. Carmelo is a sure thing.

Desperate much?
You don't have to be desperate to state the obvious. If you can get Melo you do it. The Mavs future isn't really that bright, so there is not much sacrifice in that regard. It's not like they have stock piled legit young NBA players. They are in win now mode.
Melo would be a huge upgrade and it would finally give them two legit "1.5" options. They need another perimeter play maker who can create for himself and others. Melo easily fits that bill.
I would be extremely worried if the Mavs pulled this trade off while keeping Dirk/Kidd/Chandler
It is obvious, I was referring to the possibility of mortgaging the future for one real shot at it
What future? Like I said, it's not like they have a young Big 3 they would have to blow up in order to do this and the only conceivable young talent they would have to give up is Roddy. That does nothing to their future.
Sons Melo doesn't want to play for Cubes white boy team
Why would Denver want to trade Melo to a Western Conference team? Really, why would they want to make Dallas better. If the Lakers offered a package for Melo why would they want to make any team out West better. Look what happened with the Gasol trade, you trade a talented player to your own conference and it could impact you more than it helps. If he get's traded it's to the Eastern Conference, so I don't see it happening unless the Lakers offered Kobe or the Mavericks offered Dirk for Melo. Or Bynum/Artest for Melo or something like that, really Denver should just keep him and trade him out East at the deadline if he won't resign next year.
Not every team can offer table scraps and get back Pau Gasol. We'll actually have to give up something decent for a great player.
yeah it all depends on keeping the core that has gotten them to this point. I never thought Tyson Chandler would have this kind of impact, but a guy who can protect the rim like that really covers a lot of deficiencies. Plus they are well-coached and the zone is well-executed. The three guys you mentioned would definitely be off-limits.
Cubes is a crafty businessman...I'm sure he could finagle a sketchy trade.
Mavs will still not win a championship.
Last I checked Rolando Blackman wasn't running the show in Denver, so it's doubtful.
It is amazing what being healthy can do for a player. Chandler looked done. No one expected him to look this good. He is a perfect piece to move the Mavs in the right direction.
Imagine if OKC would have completed that trade and was patient. Imagine if this Chandler was on OKC. That would be scary.
I forgot all about that.
True, never underestimate the value of networking.
melo plays no D. he would be a reliable #2 scoring option surely but that would be well negated by his poor defense. why add another defensive liability when you already have a number of them?
No one is expecting him to immediately be the #2 guy. Just another guy to take some of the offensive load off of Dirk. He most definitely is the 2nd most skilled offensive player on the team though, and has shown he can score points in basically every way except posting up (which isn't expected from small guards like him). Dude can penetrate at will, finish extremely well, shoot set up shots from any spot on the court, shoot quick pullups, shoot fadeaways, shoot while being contested... the dude has a very nice offensive arsenal.
joe johnson & iggy would be more practical targets imo.
if I was a Mavs fan, I would be on Cuban's blogs or e-mail or whatever, and beg the er to do this
Fuuuuuuuuuuck.
Dirk has never had another player the cliber of Carmello to play with. Dirk gets alot of unfair criticism but he hasn't had that other go to guy that all championship teams have. It would be interesting to see how that works although I'm not sure Melo is the right fit for this team.
Are you ----ing kidding me?
actually, im pretty sure you are cubans currency to land a great player like melo.Yup, he and Dirk can take turns running iso's all day..while our new backcourt of jjb and jet get run train on, letting their man blow past them and racking up fouls on myself
(you, butler, and roddy, for melo)
you could be the great hershal walker trade of the dallas mavericks
