the Nuggets

[JohnTRourke]

could f*ck up a wet dream.

You watch, they are going to get NOTHING for Carmelo

unbelievable. I remember when the Nuggets were quite good and always in the playoffs.

I'm a HUGE Nuggets fan and I feel the same way...WTF get rid of Melo already. If we don't he'll walk at the end of this year and we'll get nothing!

You can't trade him unless he's willing. Without the extension you're going to get squat. Melo didn't want to go to Nets. So, nothing the Nugs can do.

The megadeal to bring Carmelo Anthony (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/players/3706) to the New Jersey Nets (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/teams/nets) is dead. Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov told the team to end trade talks with the Denver Nuggets (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/teams/nuggets) on Wednesday, saying he was unhappy with how it played out in public, that it took too long, got too expensive and cost the team games.
The Russian billionaire also canceled a planned meeting with Anthony on Thursday and said there was no chance - that's a big nyet - that the trade would resurrected.
"There comes a time when the price is simply too expensive," Prokhorov said in a news conference before Wednesday night's game against Utah. "I have instructed our team to walk away from the deal."
Previously, New Jersey had offered to ship six players and at least two first-round draft picks to Denver in a deal that would have sent Anthony to the Nets along with former Pistons teammates Chauncey Billups (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/players/3174) and Richard Hamilton (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/players/3330).
Prokhorov decided on Tuesday to end talks with the Nuggets, and general manager Billy King said he informed them via a text message as Prokhorov was speaking on Wednesday.
"Really I am not happy with the way this deal has gone until now," Prokhorov said. "It has taken too long ... and I believe it has cost us several games."
The Nets have lost six straight games, including all four on a just completed West Coast roadtrip that ended in Oakland on Monday.

Not a B-ball fan so don't give a shit. Overpaid gangbangers that are illiterate.
I hate when they interview them because they couldn't hold a conversation with a goat.

I was waiting for this comment...

Who cares if they can't speak appropriately? I don't watch them speak during a debate, I watch them play basketball. I take it you're not a sports fan? Most all pro sports figures are overpaid!!

Wow I was just asking a question!! So you like football, yea I see how those guys aren't "thugs" at all.

[Mtn.man]

Pro sports has cone downhill fast ever since the $$$ is the only thing.
Players ain't got No brains, owners just want the $$$ and fans will pay stupid prices to watch the idiots.
Football ain't much better, but at least when they are dried up they can get a job being an ass on the announcement trail.

Not true at all! Melo really hasn't played well this year. I would say the five who do the most damage(offense & defense) would be :
JR Smith
Al Harrington
Arron Aflolo(can't spell his last name)
Ty Lawson
Nene

We don't need Melo. He is a great player but he's not needed...plus our bench(above players) do great!!
