I belive this could get us mello its a good deal for both sides.
nuggets get exp. contract plus a young talented guy
knicks get a top scorer
we dont need gallo with mello around plus in 1-2 years gallo will comand a big contract.
if we need to add 1-2 role players I would do it also.

what do you think?

I would do Chandler + Gallo + Curry for Melo, so if the Knicks can pull it off without including the Mayor, then hell yes

I am curious to see how Gallo progresses... if he's more a Peja than a Dirk, then you absolutely have to do the deal.

For some reason I still believe gallo is more Dirk than peja. Would like to keep gallo and have a gallo, mello, amare trio. Filled in with the kids from golden state and our point. Everyone else can go.

Walker + Chandler + curry + Tony Douglas + anybody else? = Melo

Let's go Knicks. That's amare

I just dont think a deal without AR and Gallo will get it done and I would still have to pull the trigger on that. I know many here are against this for obvious reasons, this is a good deal for both sides. We all love these one sided deals but cmon Denver wants to get compensated for Melo, and this should do it. As long as we have two superstars in place plus Ray we can get people that would want to come and play for the Knicks ALA the heat.

We would still have the Mayor at the two, hopefully Mozgov pans out after a year of this league under his belt. Plus Turiaf could contribute some minutes. We would need to find some fillers along the way, but if we have the opportunity to get Melo we should get it done and not let this slip through our hands. 24 ppgs, plus a year at 30ppg, we have never had a scorer like this period, Ar and Gallo might be great one day, but they BOTH have injury concerns and are not close to be proven commodities.

The deal would have to be Gallo and AR, now, but the hope is that isn't the case during the season. Maybe Gallo or AR breakout and Denver is satisfied with just one of them. Or, Denver has its hands tied in Feb and must deal him to NY for whatever they want to give up. Melo has all the leverage, he can say he only wants NY publicly and that means if Denver wants anything in return, which they will, they will settle for whatever NY gives them.

Theres no way Denver takes back just gallo and curry for melo. would you? Doubt it. However... i would still rather keep him.

i doubt Gallo & Eddy could get us Melo, but i think you'd be an idiot not to pull the trigger on a deal like that if it was on the table for us.

That's cool let them not have interest in him, but i'm sure that might change when he avgs 18-20 ppg this season. Still, i would rather keep him and experiment with him at SG and Melo at SF, because i believe it would work just fine. At the deadline when they don't have any other options they can have chandler, buike, and curry, or maybe AR if we are feeling generous. I want AR on this team long-term but they may like his upside more than Gallo, and he's only a fit on this team long-term if he proves at some point he can be a center in this league. Otherwise let's keep Gallo and Stoudemire and add Melo, and i'm confident that is a good Big 3 for the future. Gallo won't be a superstar but will continue to develop his all-around skills and be one of the league's best shooters and hopefully a 2 or 3 time all-star.

I am surprised this "new" Melo thread hasn't yet been locked and redirected to the actual Melo thread, you know the one that has already gone over all of this stuff ad nauseum...

While there's a new thread in place, any thoughts on how Carmelo compares to Kevin Durant?


Durant, based on his regular season scoring title, strong performance against Kobe in the playoffs, and his dominance in the FIBA WC tournament... may have cemented himself as the #1 SF in the game, perhaps leapfrogging Lebron and Melo in the process.

Carmelo's claim to fame is that he led Syracuse to an NCAA title as a freshman. Oh, and that he "led" the Nuggets to the conference finals a year ago (like Durant, in a loss to Kobe).

Both of them shot woeful FG%'s against the Lakers.

Durant is notably taller, longer limbed, seemingly more athletic, a purer shooter (as evidenced by his 90% FT%). Carmelo is seemingly a more rugged inside player (when he wants to be). So, assuming we believe Durant is the superior player, how far behind is Carmelo... and likewise, how far behind is Gallo behind both of them? And... with more polish and experience, can Gallo close the gaps?

I like Melo as a player - but will acquiring him NOW appreciably increase our chances of winning a title this year vs having a Knicks team with all the pieces we'd lose in the process?

Short answer = No. That's why we wait and try to get him as a FA, or just move on if he signs elsewhere.

Denver will be lucky to get good value IF Melo is hell bent on playing in NY and won't sign an extension with anyone else (or agree to one)

Curry and Gallo with 3mm in cash won't work Cuz denver won't want to pay for Eddy. This gets done by trade deadline but its with Wilson, not Gallo.

If Melo is not cool with being an unrestricted (we read he is) then teams will make offers and a market will form.

Denver needs to create a market. If its a one year rental, his price goes way way down.

there are some guys on this forum who don't think Melo is even in Durant's league... personally i think that's crazy talk... Melo is just a notch under Durant as a player if that, & that is no dig at Kevin Durant.

I'm happy that it seems Melo is content waiting the season out. And i don't think Denver can do anything at this point to convince him to stay. They don't have many assets to acquire another player to help them win now, and the west is still strong, so Denver is still the 4th or 5th best team in the west at best. I think Denver really screwed themselves when they traded Camby in a salary dump. Camby would have really helped when they made that run in 2009 and losing on one the best defensive bigs in the league for a trade exception that i don't think they used was stupid. Denver of course bailed themselves out prior to that with the Billups trade but they still didn't show 100% commitment to winning to Melo.

Anyways, if Denver wants to deal him here at the deadline we should offer Chandler and Curry, and possibly AR but only if we don't see him as a center long-term here, but Gallo should be completely out of the picture. I still believe Gallo can play alongside Melo at SG, at least to start games. I expect Gallo to average 18-19 ppg this season and really break out. He could develop into the ideal 3rd option for a championship team.

we'll just have to wait til next summer when Melo turns FA, then all of you will be calling him a top 10 player in the NBA.
