Carmelo Anthony

It's a pipe dream but I could see that setting up Denver to be quite the team in the next 4 or so years. It would be something I would consider if I was the Nuggets GM (obviously that really doesnt mean a thing). I don't see why it's not worth a discussion at least.

Um... you would trade your franchise player and allstar that is 24 years old for some expirings and some late first round picks?

If it would set me up to field a better squad then I previously had, yes. Denver would have a ton of cap room to sign whoever they wanted in future FA classes and the draftpicks would take care of potential players/role players/fill in some gaps.

When it came down to it, I probably would not make the move, but to say it's completely out of the realm of possibility isn't true in my opinion, that's all.

I get what you're saying, Heath.. But, speaking for myself only, this type of stuff is boring discussion now, because it's all fantasy at this point..

And honestly, I think as fans, we're in a place now where we're looking for realistic scenarios because we're so close...

This type of stuff was fun on this site 3 years ago because we simply weren't in the position to grab the trophy like we're in now... We could potentially be one piece away from winning everything, and I think most of us like to discuss the possibilities that can put us in that position, because quite frankly, we've never been in this position before (at least within the internet era :chuckles and it's exciting to discuss the realistic possibilities, and as we all know, if we can't get a VC, Monta Ellis etc... I don't think anyone here truly believes Melo is obtainable for what we have... And if the whole basis of this scenario is the fact that LBJ is "friends" with him, it simply has no legs to stand on..

Fair-enough.
