This is a good trade for both teams involved
Melo for Artest and Odom.

Lakers starting lineup
Fisher/Blake/Crittenton
Kobe/Bell/Sasha
Anthony/Ebanks/Walton
Gasol/Powell/Caracter
Bynum/Elonu/Mbenga

Kobe>Wade
Melo>Lehype
Gasol>Bosh

[DNYCE]

The Nuggets would have a solid team as well
Billups
Smith
Artest
Odom
Nene

[mgreener_34Participant]

It’s going to take alot more then that to get Melo, even more so because the Lakers are the Nuggets strongest competition

[DNYCE]

Melo might leave the Nuggets empty handed just as Lebron did to the Cavs.

The Nuggets would be a top 3 team in the west with Odom and Artest.

[Stojakovicfor3Participant]

Füçk that sh!t Bosh is better than Gasol and LBJ is way better than Melo

[buckeyefanParticipant]

As much as I hate Lebron he is above Melo by a good amount.

Also why would Denver ever make this trade.

Stop making topics that only help out your team and not the others.

[WizardofOzParticipant]

And stop giving people negatives just because they don’t agree with your CRAZY IDEAS.

[bkb77Participant]

you better add in andrew bynum & the next 10yrs of 1st round picks.

[WizardofOzParticipant]

OKAY. This is out of line, even for you. Artest and Odom really solid players, but the Nuggets really want Carmelo back and if they can’t get him back, they’re going to want more then that. They’re going to want draft picks and even more players. When I clicked on this, I thought there was going to be a link to a rumor saying this might go down, but it was just another one of your silly homer trades. You really need to stop with this.

[DNYCE]

Honestly I don’t know why people are giving this a thumbs down, Melo and Kobe formed a tight bond on team USA, and Wade, Bosh, and James formed theirs. The Lakers are going to win the championship with either team(Odom/Artest combo or Melo), why not see Melo in the mix? Melo is always the forgotten player in the 04 draft and he can prove to people that he is still one of the very best. This would be the best situation possible for Melo and he knows it.

[tucker42090Participant]

melo was 03 draft not 04

[pimpdeuce88Participant]

THE LEAGUE AND D STERN WONT ALLOW THAT THEY WANT/ NEED THE HEAT TO WIN THE TITLE FOR RATINGS DUE TO THE RECESSION.. WUD BE GREAT ON 2K THO.. BUT NOT IN REAL LIFE

[ckessler33Participant]

go back to LA and keep dreaming………

[McWinningParticipant]

Whats up dhamp?

[DNYCE]

How is this trade unrealistic? The Nuggets are not going to keep Melo after this season, why not make a trade that will keep the team just as competitive by getting something in return before Melo just leaves the team?

[NYCrealdealParticipant]

thru FA seems to be like the perfect fit
no lakers

[Mr.Knick 32Participant]

Melo is not getting traded.

And if he got traded…Denver fans would erupt in outrage if all they got is Artest and Odom.

[DNYCE]

I bet all the Knick fans are giving me thumbs down LOL, keep dreaming Knick fans. Melo isn’t goin to the Knicks and playing for D’antoni. Melo would be a bigger star on the Lakers because he will become a champ.

[DNYCE]

The Lakers could even trade Bynum and Artest for Melo. I would do that in a heartbeat.

[Mr.Knick 32Participant]

Don’t take my points. I don’t take yours.

Denver would have to get more and more likely would have better offers on the table then Odom-Artest.

[Mr.Knick 32Participant]

The Raptors and Cavs both got 2 1st round picks.

The Denver Nuggets will not and probably should not deal Carmelo Anthony. They have alot of cap space in 2011. They could built around him.

If Melo leaves, He would probably want a max contract. I don’t see LA as a realistic team to get Carmelo because I think like LeBron, Wade and Bosh- He will look to test the market.

[DNYCE]

They wouldn’t get a better offer than Bynum and Artest for Melo. Look what happened to the Raptors and the Cavs, are the Nuggets going to let ths happen as well? Trade Melo to LA.

Fisher
Kobe
Melo
Odom
Gasol

[DNYCE]

Melo loves LA, he stays here in the offseason. Melo would be thrilled to join the best franchise in sports.

[DNYCE]

We could give the Nuggets our 1st and 2nd round draft picks, what now??

[Mr.Knick 32Participant]

The Nuggs would still have to accept the deal. Like I said before, I don’t see Denver dealing Carmelo because he’s a god in Denver. Moving him would be similar to Cleveland losing LeBron. I’m pretty sure when I say CP3 and Melo are not getting traded this calender year.

[Mr.Knick 32Participant]

There isn’t a better package out their that is better than Odom/Artest or a Bynum/Artest package for Melo enough said

I could think of some better ones.

[DNYCE]

There isn’t a better package out their that is better than a Odom/Artest or a Bynum/Artest package for Melo, enough said.

[DNYCE]

Just give me one and i’ll shut up.

[Mr.Knick 32Participant]

Well, your looking at it as if Denver wants two older players back. Bynum is 22 and already had 3 knee injuries. Off the top of my head, here’s a couple

New Jersey- Denver

Terrance Williams, Derrick Favors, 2012 1st round pick for Melo

Los Angeles- Denver

Eric Gordon, DeAndre Jordan and 2012 1st round pick for Melo

Philadelphia- Denver

Andre Iguadala, Mareesse Spieghts for Melo

Houston- Denver

Trevor Ariza, Jordan Hill, 2011 1st round pick, 2012 1st round pick ( NY) for Melo

The point is, Bynum is damaged goods and Artest is not the same player as he was in his contract year in Houston. If Denver were to deal Carmelo, they would more or less look for younger talent. That’s just my opinion and I’m sure you will disagree with no actual reason.

[gregoden08Participant]

Melo wasn’t in the 04 draft genius….How can you put Melo over LBJ? Are you a freaking idiot?

[Mr.Knick 32Participant]

Yes, IF he picked the Lakers.

[DNYCE]

Eric Gordon and Deandre Jordan? LMAO
Why would the 76ers trade their best player plus their best center for Melo??
Ariza and Hill is not better than Bynum/Artest pus 1st round pick.

[McWinningParticipant]

But when has he ever shown interest in Los Angelos? all ive heard is New York, and New Jersey (if they move to brooklyn).

[DNYCE]

Factor in the fact that the team is ultimately up to Melo. If Melo told the Nuggets that he wants to go to the Lakers they would be thrilled to get Bynum and Artest for Melo.

[DNYCE]

He is real good friends with Kobe

[Mr.Knick 32Participant]

Eric Gordon and Deandre Jordan? LMAO
Why would the 76ers trade their best player plus their best center for Melo??
Ariza and Hill is not better than Bynum/Artest pus 1st round pick.

SMH.

[DanEboyParticipant]

Hey DNYCE…..when is this Bosh to the Lakers thing happening again??

[NYCrealdealParticipant]

all i hear is how everyone in he nba is friends with each other
how do u no thtat
r u in thier group of friends
melo has said he wants to play in ny
with amare not kobe
melo wants to be the star

[T-Wolvesfan13Participant]

Sorry keep dreaming! Melo wants to go to New york! He is just as good a friends with Amare as he is with kobe! And he would get more money! Why would he want to go to LA when next year he can get a ton of money to play for NY? No one is buying this so stop trying to sell it! And Melo is not better then Lebron and bosh would kill pau!

[TRC1991Participant]

This post is bad. Really bad from almost all the angles…Melo isn’t going anywhere via trade Denver has made that VERY clear

[willie wise fanParticipant]

d hamps on here still

[ckessler33Participant]

Why would Denver want Artest, the guy is past 30 and only averaged 11 points, Bynum is another injury away from being out of the league, and Odom is past 30 also and average about 11 points also(granted he came off the bench, but the man is still very inconsistent) what makes you think 2 of these guys makes Denver a top 3 team in the west?!? Also no way Denver would never allow LA to get even better. Please go back to LA, you all will the finals next year regardless……so just shut up dude, Carmelo isn’t coming!!!!

[stanford hoops]

You only hear the knicks because knicks fans talk about it. They think everyone wants to come there . Or because Amare said it. News flash a bunch of other teams have the same chance as the knicks of getting melo. As far as the trade come on you sounding like a knick fan

[JNixonParticipant]

LMAO

[DNYCE]

Melo to LA has a zero percent chance? Come on Knicks fans the Laker franchise is 10x better than the Knicks franchise and Melo knows it. Kobe and Melo are good friends, and I would love to see Melo win a ring.Melo will not win in NY. Haters can hate but he won’t win shiiit in NY and you clowns know it.

Fisher or Ridnour or Blake it really wouldn’t matter LOL
Kobe
Melo
Odom
Gasol
We will win again next year regardless if this trade happens, why not win with Melo??? Aren’t you fans tired of our team winning with two 7 foot monsters and Odom, and Artest, and Kobe?

[DNYCE]

bump

[goneParticipant]

DNYCE u should do a Chris Paul to LA trade idea like Kongo Cash, Walton, Odom ,S$T Fisher for Chris Paul lolllllllllll

[DNYCE]

If the Lakers wanted CP3 this is the best trade possible to land him, but Phil doesn’t care about elite PGs. I would love to see a Kobe, Paul backcourt, but it will never happen as long as we have Phil and the triangle as the system.

Lakers recieve: CP3,and Okafor(Huge contract of their hands)

Hornets recieve: Bynum, Odom, and Sasha(expiring contract)

Lakers:
Paul
Kobe
Artest
Gasol
Okafor

Hornets:
Paul
Thornton
Posey or Odom
Odom or West
Bynum

[stanford hoops]

Are we done wit fantasy land yet? This isn’t gonna happen. We are the defending champs and we are happy with our team. All this is is the ranting of someones imagination who wants this to happen. Nothing more

[DNYCE]

*Collison
Thornton
Odom
West
Bynum

[goneParticipant]

Lolllll i was joking but how did you trade Chris paul but you have him on both teams???

[DNYCE]

Lakers recieve- Melo, Affalo, and Balkman

Nuggets recieve- Bynum, Artest, and Sasha

The Nuggets owner isn’t stupid like the Raptors or the Cavs owner. If Melo doesn’t sign the extension expect for a trade to go down.

[DNYCE]

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=29fw8xw

If they want Artest and Bynum this is a solid trade.

[DNYCE]

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=2563wxz

If they want Bynum/Odom combo

[DNYCE]

The Lakers should sign Luke Ridnour and give the Nuggets their 1st round pick for 2011 aswell with Artest, Bynum, and Sasha, because we won’t need any rookies for a long long time LOL.

Ridnour/Fisher/Blake
Kobe/Affalo/Green
Melo/Ebanks/Walton
Odom/Caracter/Powell
Gasol/Elonu/Mbenga

3PEAT!!!

[McDunkin]

1.How in the world do you get -22454 points in only 465 posts

2.

[goneParticipant]

You probably offer crazy real life trades too

DNYCE: Hey I trade you my apple for your oreos, Kapri Sun, PBJ

or

DYNCE: How bout my Playstation 1 with NBA 1999 and 2000, Tenchu, Controller and Stretch Armstrong for your XBOX 360 nba 2k10 gears of war 2 and Call of Duty

or

DYNCE: I’ll trade ya my John Bryant “Autographed” bite mark burger, 3000 LBJ to NY threads, my -22454 points for your NBA contract to play pg for the Miami Heat

[DNYCE]

WizKid very clever !!

[DNYCE]

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=2cjpazc

Odom/Artest combo for Melo!! The Nuggets can’t turn this down, plus will throw in our 1st and 2nd round pick for 2011 if need be.

Im shure the Nuggets would much rather Bynum though so get this done Mitch.
Bynum/Artest/Sasha for Melo/Affalo/Balkman

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=2clwnqe

[DNYCE]

I pray to Yah that this doesn’t happen
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=2fcy9ah

[OldSkoolBasketballParticipant]

Melo is an all star at age 26 and Odom/Artest are 30 year olds past their primes. The draft picks are most likely in the high 20s. You have to give up Bynum and some other good prospects like Ebanks to get a sniff at Melo.

[DNYCE]

Someone should read before typing utter nonsense(PaulAllenSucks).

[DNYCE]

The Lakers will win the championship regardless if this trade happens or not, I want some entertainment.

Kobe vs Wade
Melo vs Bron
Gasol vs Bosh

would be epic

All of you clowns giving me thumbs down know this, and you wold be glued to the games.
