	I know his agentsaid Denver wasn't going to trade him, but I still think he won't begin the season with Denver. I have to questions: Will he be traded to Detroit Will he be immediately sucessful I feel if he is in Detroit he can make an improvement in his attitude and his scoring will improve since their isn't a guy on his team putting up thirty points every game. My predictions are: In Detroit- 29.2 PPG, 7.4 RPG, 3.8 APG, and 1.9 SPG In Denver- 26.8 PPG, 7.2 RPG, 3.4 APG, and 1.5 SPG What do you guys think will happen with Melo this offseason?

	This is rediculous!!! If Joey D wanted Melo then he should have fricking drafted him. It kills me that not only did we pass up on getting him FOR FREE but now he is even considering trading him for the only guy that should be off limits in Prince. Drafting Darko was the only mistake that I know of that Dumars made. He can't atone for that mistake by trading for Melo. I enjoy watching Melo on the offensive end but over all he is not as good a player as Prince. He brings too much to the table to consider trading him. Worse yet, Joey D's excuse for not taking Melo was he loved Prince as his SF. But to answer your question, Melo will be a Nugget all season.

	Carmelo Anthony can not play team basketball. That's why Denver can't win -- two guys trying to be one-man teams. For Detroit to trade Chauncey Billups and Tayshawn Prince for him would be a travesty. I don't care who else is involved, it would still be a joke. What Detroit needs is to go out and find an inside presence, and then ship out Rasheed Wallace. The guy could be a stud on the blocks, but chooses to go outside instead. Replace him with somebody who stays where he should be -- in the post. Trading for Anthony would be stupid.

	I think in sportslines rumor mill, their GM has guaranteed that he will remain in denver. course, that often doesn't mean anything.
