    >Your not a Nuggets fan. Your a Melo head…

    ^Correct. I can’t lie about that one. I’m a 76ers fan tho.

    >If Melo was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks you would be a Bucks fan.

    ^lol, yeah, that’s true.

    >Nuggets will never get a chip. No matter who they trade for.

    ^It can happen since the west is so open right now, any team could sneak up in the playoffs & cause damage. Once K-Mart stupid deal is finish they would have hella cap room, they paying K-Mart like 12 millie a year, which he don’t deserve, Nene is growing into his own, but they need a solid big man (n/h) someone that will stay healthy for a whole season.

    >And if they trade. Who do they let go AI? or Melo?

    ^They can keep both, Trade K-Mart, or if they had to trade one, trade AI for a solid point guard. A passer playing with melo = trouble. Having 2 players on ya team that both top 5 scorers isnt a good thing.

    Golden State or Portland will take that final spot…

    It’s good….because as much as I would like to see the Lakers smack around the Nuggets again…

    It is bad for TV and ratings…

    Lakers Blew Out the Nuggets in every single game….It was a landslide…
