What do you think you guys would want for Jusuf Nurkic?

Why are you asking skywalker what they would want? The guy has never once been in touch with basketball reality for the past 2-3 years.(he and other nuggets fans were saying a BKN(1) pick + young player for Gallinari - now they are building around him and winning a ton of games obviously)

Offer him Rozier for Nurkic straight up. He'll love that.

Wolves den ?? Guess you're right ...nice !!

So, 34B (is that your bra size ??) wants to jump on the bandwagon, yet no one has shown where I supposedly said Gallo was worth a BKN pick.....just a LOT of hot air over here. And 34B, I know more about the Nuggets than you, i'm sure the NUGGs FO will get good value as usual in their trade efforts. ...guaranteed !!

This seems to be going way off the rails here. And I think everyone knows better than throwing around insults and personal attacks. Time to grow up and knock it off. For everyone.

The only way Melo makes sense...and I mean this is the only way. Is if you are committed to keeping Bradley and get a rim protector. Melo does not play defense. But if you use him and IT as your two offensive sparks while having your 5 2 and 4 be your main defensive assets then this partnership would potentially have a shot of working. No Brooklyn picks. But Crowder can go

Please don't warn people for making hilariously embarrassing jokes again. Need to be encouraging that, if anything. Thanks. B2P

Agree. It basically has to be a package deal with Crowder getting dealt and Boston getting a rim protector and Melo in return.

It's not happening, but in a hypothetical, Doc's gonna ask for Crowder and not Jaylen. I'd do this: http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=hxe5v7d. Amir, Crowder, Young, MEM pick, and return LAC pick for Jordan. Rivers will ask for Smart, we say no. Bring up Nader for wing depth. Have Horford come off the bench so we'll have a DeAndre Jordan Mickey starting frontcourt.

If we want another late-game scorer, Melo might not be the answer. I'd still take KD even though he hasn't been clutch this season haha. Gimme Jimmy!

Yeahhhh, I really should use that green font more often. I thought the statement was ridiculous enough for anyone to think I was being serious.

U went all defensive on me, bro. I take no offense in your words, cause I'm nearly 100% sure I'm fitter than u. U should take no offense either, but to me you're the biggest homer Ive seen around. 90% of the stuff u write when it comes to Nuggets' players value and stuff are absurd Not even in the realm of reality.

I'm happy that you built this juggernaut around Gallo. You can resign him to the max now.

Cheers.

I mean I got the joke, lol, but I've encountered the same thing a lot this year, green font is a must at this point lol.

Stan Van says they definitely won't trade Reggie for Ricky and now Rubio is leaving the team for personal reasons. If it's not Detroit I'm really curious who Rubio is going to end up with.

Here is you with Gallo and with your drunk PG. Now go home.

Personally, I can't see any deal for Gallo that doesn't include one of either 2016 BKN/DAL pick plus a young player with potential

Really think LAL reached for Nance at 27 and also that BOS made a big overpay for Rozier at 16. Maybe still hope that the Celts will trade for Lawson, maybe 2016 BKN pick and Rozier

Probably center around 2015 1st, Olynyk and Young

That's an awful trade for us. While I really like Lawson, that's a star-type haul for the Nuggets, which Lawson is not. He has never even been an all-star.

Not in the West, but he's easily be an All-Star in the East....he's putting up 17/10, better than most all in the East. Also, I could easily see BOS making the playoffs by adding Lawson, which puts that 1st in the 15 or 16th spot, so value is that far off IMO. Heck, if I'm the Nuggets, I'm asking for the 2016 BKN 1st as well !!!!

All this testosterone.. Millions of women across the country marched yesterday: no arrests.

[jfs1000d]

Melo's late game problem isn't that he isn't clutch, it is he likes to take HERO shots. Kylie and Lebron make ridiculous shots in crunch tim, but you can't live with that.

Melo, and guys like that (pierce and Antoine used to be ones), think that degree of difficulty matters.

Melo has to stop isolating and taking long contested jumpers as the shot clock runs down. The hero shots don't work.

Ok, this is great - but the last time we talked about fourth quarter scoring in Celticsdom, it's around 2001, when Pierce was one of the best in the league at it. A couple of years later, he missed a lot of game-wining baskets on a bad team, taking "HERO" shots, and all the talk was about how he wasn't clutch. Context matters, and for IT, he's the go-to scorer, with great innate efficiency, on a winning team with GREAT spacing, when the "rim protector" types who could thwart him at the rim are less common than the Draymond Green types.

So Melo, Westbrook, whoever, have plenty of clutch/4th quarter ability.

[darrendaye]

I'm opposed to acquiring Melo at this stage. I believe for the last few years the team or his ego or both have not recognized the reality that he is better served playing the 4. Perhaps not exclusively, but, he could get away with his defensive issues by just trying at the 4, whereas I think he's pretty compromised guarding the 3 regardless of his effort level. Here again, Horford's reputed reluctance and subpar rebounding make the move messy, even if Al agrees to play a bit more 5.

BOS out: Crowder,Johnson, Zeller, BKN17
BOS in: Carmelo, Noel

NYK out: Carmelo
NYK in: Johnson, Zeller, BKN17

PHI out: Noel
PHI in: Crowder


thoughts?

We're just as eager to trade that pick for Melo as you are to trade Simmons for him, for reference.

[jfs1000d]

Could Melo not be ball
Dominant, have a good attitude, and blend in? He's worth it. Esp if not for a premium asset.
