Can we get in the Carmelo Sweepstakes? 

Post#1 » by ClipperEric » Wed Jul 9, 2008 10:05 pm

What do you think about Carmelo Anthony?

Is Denver still looking to trade him?

We have so much cap room that we don't have to give them a player in return.

How about Eric Gordon + 3 #1 picks? Is that too much for him? The picks would end up being mid to late first round.

They'd probably want Thornton in place of Gordon.

Hell freakin no... He's a glamored up Maggette with more whining and less free throw shooting.

I think you mistook Carmelo for Vince Carter. He's the overpaid Maggette.

Melo isn't a bad fit and he only makes $14mil. Not bad for a guy of his stature.

No to Carmelo. The only player I hate almost as much as Kobe and Brand right now is Carmelo.

I didn't realize you guys hated him so much. I do question his heart and if he really wants to win. Sometimes i get the feeling he's there for the paycheck and the good weed connections. :lol:

Since we're so far under the cap now it almost doesn't matter. We may have to trade somebody worth $1 or $2 mil to ensure we stay under.

I'm surprised to hear so many 'no' votes for melo. I hate this guy. He doesn't work hard on D, and like other posters said, is just a glorified/overpaid maggette.
