I know the #Bobcats have talked to #Nuggets. May not be to get Carmelo, but to be 3rd team in the deal with Dampier's contract going to DEN 目前傳聞有 DEN Get Damp. Hou Get Melo CHA Get Brooks + xxx 還有直接交易..... 我們大概出GW + Damp. + Nazr + xxx <=> Melo + Billups + JR. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 以下是專欄分析各位可能性 If that is true, then the only stumbling block I saw was getting assurance Carmelo would sign long term, if we’re on his ‘short list’ it would indicate that he would be open to staying in Charlotte. So now the question becomes what would the offers be, and could any of those short list teams offer more? It depends what the Nuggets are looking for. If they’re looking for young established talent we can’t touch what Houston would offer. They could create a package of Aaron Brooks, Kevin Martin, Patrick Patterson, Chase Buddinger as well as some expiring contracts. However… it would be near impossible for them to get the dollars needed to acquire anyone beyond Anthony in a trade due to low, cheap contracts of Brooks and Patterson. It would require them to also sent Yao’s $17.5 million expiring to take on Billups or Smith in addition to Melo, and I don’t see that happening. Bobcats would have to play third wheel with Damps contract to help make an attractive deal possible. Carmelo and Smith coming to a Houston team without Brooks, Patterson, Yao would leave them with a very weak roster. New Jersey are in a similar position. They would likely part with Devin Harris, Derrick Favors and Brook Lopez, but that only equals $14 million and change. They don’t have the expiring contracts Denver would want, so Charlotte would need to play third wheel, likely netting Devin Harris. Golden State are intriguing… but unlikely. They don’t have very much to offer past Steph Curry and Monta Ellis. They would both clash with the development of Ty Lawson. If we played third wheel in this scenario then Steph Curry is a very real possibility. It’s up to Golden State… is it worth giving up Curry to get Melo? LA Clippers could offer the most to Denver. If Denver want young talent then Blake Griffin and/or Eric Gordon could be on the table. If Denver want cap space we would need to play third wheel likely netting Baron Davis and/or Chris Kaman depending on how many salaries change hands. Now we get to Charlotte. Charlotte don’t have the young established talent that LA or HOU have, but we can offer more cap space than anyone else and our young borderline talent are all expiring contracts. If Denver want an established player and cap space next year then I think we would part with Crash, Nazr and Damps for Melo, Billups and JR Smith… picks also going to Denver. --
