Chris Paul needs to $!@+. He's part of the reason Denver won't deal with us.

I think CP3 is talking more about Melo playing out the season and then signing with the Hornets, since, CP3 ain't going anywhere since he's locked in his contract for another two years.

melo aint going to the hornets. all these rumors are BS. melo already said he only wants to go to knicks or bulls. so if no trade involves one of those teams, its dead. by the way melo and cp3 aint doing it by themselves if the trade went down somehow

Reading comprehension fail on my part.
I just assumed that those trade scenarios were to get cap room, since, like everybody said, the Hornets don't have anything attractive to offer.

The Hornets new GM Dell Demps, a front-office veteran of the Spurs, has remained tight-lipped about any plans, but such a deal would be plausible if they offer up David West, Marcus Thornton and Peja Stojakovic's $14.3 million expiring contract to the Nuggets. According ESPN.com's Marc Stein, a source close to the situation confirmed "that word has indeed been trasnmitted form Paul to Anthony that teaming up in the Bayou might be the solution for both of them."

moving to brooklyn in 2 years...Prokhorov's $$$..
There's pretty much no scenerio that Melo can choose right now that will get him on a team significantly better than the Nuggets..nonetheless close to teams like the Heat, Lakers, and Celtics
I think he should play this season in Denver, sign with New Jersey, play one crappy year there, sign Chris Paul...you begin your Melo/CP3 core team in Brooklyn and you still have Derrick Favors (now with 2 years under his belt)
and they'll probably still have that draft pick they were gonna trade to Denver
more players will flock to this team because it's in a legendary location and will try to help take down the dynasty the Heat are building; I figure the Lakers run at rings will be over by then
BUT MELO HAS NO PATIENCE!

I didn't include the Bulls because Denver isn't gonna take Deng and Gibson. They'd have to give up too much to still keep a very competitive team

But both would be significantly better than Denver...and there would also be a lot more stability with those two teams having core players locked up in contracts.
Denver's on the verge of gutting their team.

Another player would have to come from Denver if it were for West, Thornton and Stojakovic. J.R. is really the only plausible choice, from Denver's perspective.
At the end of the day, that deal would make the Hornets only slightly better, and they would still have one of the worst benches in life.

What I meant to say was if Knicks acquire Melo, that team still wouldn't be able to compete with the top 4 teams in the East (Heat, Celtics, Magic, Bulls)
