If they're absolutely blowing it up, I think they'd prefer Love. I don't think Jefferson has much value right now to anyone.

It would be smarter to keep Al if we got Melo anyway. Get the 1-2 scoring punch outta the way and build around them.

Is it even possible to get Melo without including Al. Who would play center in this scenario?

they'd want Love/Johnson/Rubio or something like that, and even then 80% of them would say no because that just how fans are

The Flynn-Johnson-Melo 'Cuse Connection would be pretty sweet. Of course we'd have to lure Rony Seikaly, Billy Owens, and Derrick Coleman out of retirement to fill out the front court. Sherm Douglas would make a nice backup guard and of course no Syracuse all star team is complete without Dave Bing.

Anyone who thinks Melo won't sign an extension with Denver but will here is delusional.

Denver had their chance. We are not anything like the Nuggets, so unless you think all middle market teams are the same?

I don't think it's the city of Denver that's stopping him from signing an extension, but the fact that the FO has been penny pinching the last few years and they don't have enough to get over the hump as is.
