Melo As A Maverick?

[HMFFL]

Woody Paige sharing his opinion about the Nuggets.

1. The Nuggets send Carmelo Anthony and Marcus Camby to the Mavericks for Dirk Nowitzki. In order for the trade to work under the cap, other players would have to be involved, but those three would be the major pieces.

In this scenario, Carmelo must go, and take Camby's salary with him. They're swapping postseason underachievers, but the change of landscape, from one "D" to the other "D," but no "D" likely would benefit both Anthony and Nowitzki. Then Nene would take over at center. With Eduardo Najera and Chucky Atkins also gone, the Nuggets could trim about $15 million from the payroll.

thats an interesting proposal, but i think cambys defense is massively overrated. best [help-side] shotblocker in the game but isnt that great when it comes to post defense.

I totally agree with your post, but I wanted to add that little comment. If you had Dampier's man to man defense with Camby's help side defense, you would have the perennial DPOY. Problem is, we can't have them both on the court at the same time as Damp gives little offensively and Camby takes ill-advised jumpers cuz he is too slow to get to the basket.

but yea if you decide to trade dirk that is one trade you'd have to consider.

I agree you have to concider it cuz the value is there, but I think changing from one un-orthadox style (jumpshooting all-star PF) to another (team build around a SF) is a terrible plan.

If we trade Dirk, I want to rebuild and I DON"T want that player to be an offensive SF.

I love the "postseason underachievers" part of that article.

I have seen you say this a few times. Whats wrong with building around a sg/sf?

To go along with that, the personnel just wouldn't match. You would have a great defensive front court with a lousy defensive sg and sf. Then you would have a great transition sg and pg but a very slow low-flying frontcourt. Its a nice collection of talent, but I don't see it meshing.
