Thats what I'm thinking. He's probably been working the phones and politicking behind the scenes ensuring that he wont be playing for the Nets with no talent around him. The Nets + Carmelo arent that special of a team and would probably finish around .500. Maybe he thinks he can attract 1-2 big names to the Nets in the coming years.Originally Posted by MisterP0315
Does Melo want to win?
He must know something we don't.
could have waited a year and not gutted a roster. selfish
Melo doesnt have a no-trade clause. The Nuggets can trade him anywhere they want but teams are obviously low-balling the Nuggets because its not worth trading away assets for a rental player. Atleast now he'd have control of his own fate (join the Nets on his terms rather than being traded to a random team at a random point of the season). Anyways, you know how veteran NBAers think...they'd much rather have proven guys as teammates over young players and high draft picks.
