If Sheed is here and plays on the block and demands a double, what could that do for Melo? [Qoute D59]

From the standpoint of a fan in general i would want to see that. They could be battling it out for the eastern conference for the next decade.

Stuckey, Melo and Sheed could be a three headed monster that could be hard to deal with.

Now, the defense and rebounding from Melo needs to be addressed.

Thats thinking big. There could be a lot of possibilities with this, plus we still have Rip. If Stucky and Amir come around then a trade like this would touch off a new era in Pistons basketball. The recent run fell a little short.

Throw in Dyess or something. If they are talking then something can get done.

I hope some team officials / other players are staying close to Stuckey while all this is going on. He's got to be on quite an emotional roller coaster right now.

Why? Stuckey knows he isn't getting traded. His best friend (or whatever) on the team was Hunter and he isn't going anywhere either. He also knows he's going to have a bigger role next season. Seems like Stuck has nothing at all to worry about other than getting better to take advantage of his opportunities.

With all of this trade talk, I am really looking forward to the summer league.

Denver may even be trying to leverage us against another team. It is part of the game. Joe D. knows he needs a superstar to compete in this era of the NBA and that the going to work theme is dead.

I don't think there will be any fall out. Joe D. told the players from the jump no one was safe and they all know this is a business.

I'm OK with a CB and Amir for Melo trade...

How bout CB, Tay and Amir or CB, Tay and Max? Would you go that far? I think I would.......

Melo's agent says the Nuggets have promised not to trade him, according to ESPN.

Quote:

"He's not going to be moved," Calvin Andrews said in a telephone interview Sunday. "It's not happening. We've been given assurances from the owner on down."

That`s a bit of a stretch for me. How about Tay, CB and Samb?

I think the "rumored" deal is BS, and there won't be any fallout; our players are not the CHI bulls; and everyone knows they are on the table
