This is just a big bunch of media garbage at the moment.
Melo said he wants to play for the Knicks.
The Knicks aren't going to offer anything big because they know that they can land him in the offseason without giving anything up.
The Nuggets talk to the Lakers and that puts Pressure on New York.
and after all this garbage Melo has been spewing about how he doesn't want to play for anyone but New York....
he says he might resign with the Nuggets?!?!
That puts pressure on the teams in the trade market to step up their game.
If the Lakers and Nuggets come to an agreement that both teams are ready to pull the trigger on.....
Melo will sign an extension....
he'd be crazy not to.
If the Knicks put together something worthwhile for the Nuggets, kiss him goodbye LA and Denver. He's gone.
The Lakers would have to put something good on the table for this to happen and IMO they HAVE to let go of Bynum.
I know the Bus' say that he is their "project".
but their "project" can't play a full basketball game and he hasn't played a major role in either of their championship runs or their finals run 3 years ago.
They have been doing it without him and I say you might as well get rid of him and bring in a superstar.

Carmelo will only sign an extension with the Nuggets if he's traded.
