You believe that toronto and Clevland got first round picks? LMAO no they didnt because neither did a sign and trade they just lost thier players, but forget this whole idea first off you would be crazy to sent a 1st round draft pick irson and delfino and CDR to the nugguts really i could see delfino and Redd being enough it would have to be if i was running the Team. Look we dont need Anthony 2 be contenders this team won 46 games last year and if bogut hadn’t gone down they may have been a 50 win team last year. All we need is for BJ3 to progress for Bogut to get healthy and stay healthy and continue to progress for Salmons to do his thing Maggatte to get to the rim and for Gooden to be good near the basket then let our role players come in and do thier thing we have 3 legit 20 ppg guys on this team in jennings salmons Maggatte and 3 legit 15-20 ppg guys in Bogut Gooden Delfino and CDR. make no mistake we have our superstar in Brandon nobody just accidentaly puts up 55 in thier rookie year. also like to add that Delfino is playing crazy good right now and if that carries over to this season great.

Way too much for a rental, especially the first round pick. No.

Trading for Carmelo would be a terrible idea for the Bucks. There is not way he would resign after the year is over, and then we would be left in a much worse position for the following years. With no first round draft picks and losses of young players who have high potential, and the void opened again when Carmelo leaves.

As nice as this C.C.esq trade sounds, look at the brewers now.
Do you trade away some young core talent for one season, or do you develop these young players into new superstars?
You could argue that the brewers are worse off from the CC trade, the brewers might have gotten a quality SP if they werent so blinded by CC’s appeal in FA. I dont want the bucks to go down this same path.

Neither Tor or Cle ‘got nothing’–they both got a couple of first rounders, I believe. Why would Ersan and a 1st now be more attractive than 2 firsts next year? Sure, there’s no guarantee of a sign-and-trade, but there’s a good chance since Mello can get more money if Denver signs him then trades him.

just like CC with the brewers! i will be the first to say i thought that CC had no chance of coming to the brewers. look what happened there! in sports anything is possible! just listen to KG. haha The Bucks would be legit contenders with a scorer like anthony.

It’s also just a one year rental of the guy tho. That brings his trade value WAY down. If he signed the 3yr extension and they were talking about trading him, teams would have to throw out considerable trade chips, but this is just a short rental. I think they would be glad to get 2 contributing assets while still regaining financial freedom.

They don’t want to end up like Cleveland and Toronto, getting nothing for their franchise guy. They’d like to get something. Redd, Ersan, and one of LRMAM/Brockman/CDR/Delfino is probably one of the best offers they’ll see, if not the best.

Why should Denver make the offers listed here after Cle and Tor got what they got in sign and trades? I can’t see any reason for Denver to hit the panic button yet when chances are they won’t ‘lose him for nothing’ even if he decides to bolt after playing out his contract. Denver has a good enough team that they figure to at least try to see if they can make some noise this year before maybe trading him at the deadline.

Instead of Redd, put Maggette in there if you want the conversation to get realistic. Then add 2 first rounders, not one, plus Ersan or Sanders. Now Denver might pay attention. We’re talking about their franchise player, folks. It might take more than that.

I think they could put together a quality package for Carmelo without losing too much. Redd, Ersan, and Delfino/LRMAM/CDR should get that done over a Curry, Gallinari, and a future 1st rounder from a clearly winning team with Carmelo and Amare. I’d say the Bucks should plan to keep BJ3, Salmons, Gooden, Sanders, and Bogut for sure, but trade anybody else. If he signs that 3 year extension tho, everybody except BJ3 and Bogut are up for grabs.
