Carmelo says there was potential deal on table to send him to Utah from Denver

[infection]

He says for Derrick Favors because George Karl was high on him, which makes no sense since he wasn’t traded here until the next day, unless it would have been in a three-way, but he also mentions the Nets so it’s possible he has the details fuzzy, but for him to specifically say Utah is interesting. Unless a multi-team trade, then this would be a DWill for Carmelo-type deal, but the scuttle around the league was that KOC hadn’t talked to anyone else and just phoned New Jersey.

Yeah, for all we know KOC was waiting to see what assets were on the table for Melo in order to gauge the market for DWill.

Eww. I'm stoked Melo is making a comeback, but that would've been a disaster.

 

[Engorged On Unborn Gore]

How cute.

This is me. Just an average night really. Basically the end of any random day for me.


But if Melo had come to the Jazz this would have been me times 1,000,000.

Who really cares?

Who really cares?

Since he never came here, nobody cares.

Corbin and two of the biggest ball sticks in the league - Carmelo and Al.

That might have been enough to send me packing.

I remember advocating to trade for Melon to pair him with Dwill. I actually think Melo and Sloan would have been a good pairing.

Am I confused? How were we going to trade Favors for Melo? He wasn’t on the team yet?

I'm guessing just a 3-way with Utah. Harris probably goes to Denver with Favors and draft picks and we get Melo.

I would have hated the traded without keeping D-Will and especially with Al Jefferson still being on the team, but man, D-Will/Melo would have been dangerous. I think Melo would have been really good in Sloan's system if he could improve his passing a smidge.

IMO there is zero chance KOC hadn't talked to anyone but New Jersey.
