Carmello Anthony?

Really? OKC is clearly close to championship basketball. Portland, rather unfortunately, seems to have been cursed by the knee gods. But I'd take either model over MLE roster-filling in a cheap attempt to win anyday of the week...and twice on Sundays. The time frame we're looking at isn't 5-10 years, but people on this board seem to think it is. Look at what Derrick Rose has done in Chicago. I'd say he and Tyreke are on a similar trajectory, statistically speaking.
bricklayer used the term "hasnt won anything" for carmelo meaning hasnt won a ring. last i remembered okc and portland haven't won anything since rebuilding. are they rebuilding the right way? yes, but until they win a championship, we cant say their way is fool proof. i agree that we shouldnt be adding MLE type mediocre players as bandaids to the team. what we are doing is correct and im very happy we are doing it the right way. but i feel we need a good veteran as the key to take the kings to the next level as opposed to relying solely on rooks and sophs.
as prohkorov calls him, carmela. we, the kings don't need carmela. he can take his act somewhere else. someone else can take his cap kiling contract its in the 20 mil per season iirc. he wants his cake and eat it too. the kings don't need to be held hostage by his entourage's demands if he ain't feelin it here in sac.
I know this was posted in June. At this point I honestly don't think I'd trade Cousins for Carmello straight up. Call me crazy but I think Cousins has the potential to be a better all around player than Carmello in a few years. Carmello is pretty darn good but he isn't a first tier star in my opinion.
don't klnwo why you would have a bad feeling about that. No offensive room for both Melo and Kobe. Might keep the window open a few years longer wiht Melko replacign Kobe, but no room for him onthat team right now. ALready have multiple guys upset about not getting enough shots, anfd then you want to throw ina guy accustomed to getting 20+ himself? Let them have him.
I agree with this for the most part. However, the Lakers have quite a history of bringing in stars and trying to make it work. Malone, Payton, Shaq, Artest, etc. etc.
My thought on this is: If the Nuggets end up trading Anthony for some assortment of Artest, Bynum, cash, pick, or what have you, as a Nuggest fan I would be calling for the GM's head. I would be at the front of the mob storming the arena. That New Jersey package was ridiculous. Denver was taking NJ to the cleaners on that one.
