I kind of wish we could've signed Nate again. We could use the spark off the bench.

No.

So does Doc Rivers and Scotty Brooks.

Monta Ellis
Stephon Curry
Nate Robinson

unless they have Dwight Howard or 2 super athletic biggs at Center, PF, and a tremendous athlete at SF.
They want a great return if they trade either or but its not happening cause every GM knows they will have to pick one or the other.
I personally think Monta Ellis is a great scorer and athlete, a younger way more athletic Iverson.
At 10m per year, he is a keeper if his body doesn't break down.
Curry has had so many injuries with his ankle, its so scary to imagine what his drop off will be when he is on the decline.

They should look to package either one with another player, Biedrins or David Lee for an "all star" and look to splurge on the right players this summer, with the amazing talent available. Tyson Chandler would have made them a lot better and would be good enough to cover David Lee's defense. Their rebounding and team play would have been great tandem.
Mark Jackson has gotten Monta Ellis to finally play some team ball and not the "black hole" that he has been during his entire career.
More importantly, they have been improved their defense without any great defensive players.

Gallo had way more trade value than Wilson Chandler, so it would make more sense to trade him instead. Denver totally devalued our players, in the end, we saved them 40million and gave up 6 players for one player. Randolph has game, I think Tyson Chandler would have helped guide him in the right direction. We really should have been able to keep

Mosgov or 2nd round picks
and
Wilson Chandler or Felton
=================================================

Gallo
Felton
Wilson Chandler

Mosgov
Anthony Randolph

Eddy Curry *expiring that helped saved Denver $40million in salary*
1st round pick
1 swap for 1st round pick
2 GS 2nd round picks

Realistically, we should have never traded for Billups and it should be for Melo alone. I don't mind Balkman but Felton vs Billups were 2 completely different players. Billups is better suited playing the SG at this point of his career, without the ability to penetrate or defend PGs. However, we would have never had to money to sign Tyson Chandler, so in a sense, with the luck of the amnesty, it worked out for us.

Melo will most likely opt out in another 2 more seasons after this one. He will likely try to get the most he can, possible that would be his last "big contract".
Amare's deal ends a year later with Tyson Chandler. A year after that, Iman Shumpert's big pay day is set, assuming, the Knicks will not give him a qualifying offer and extend him. I know its only a couple of games he has played but it looks like he will demand the max salary if he isn't injured and continues to improve and work hard on his game.
