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.

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.
