Melo and Nash

If I'm remembering it correctly, even drafting Wade at 5 was considered reaching because Miami should have drafted someone else; can't remember, probably a talk dude. So I doubt Wade was on the radar for a higher pick.

Melo represents what is worse about NBA ball these days - the "me" first attitude & the need to team up with other stars syndrome. Hey at least Lebron passes, and gets others involved. Carmelo doesn't defend, selfish and doesn't care about his teammates. We know how George Karl feels, now we know how Mike D'Antoni feels.

Carmelo can play - and he's probably top 10 in the league.. but he's proven to be selfish and doesn't play much defense.
This might be fine if we had JV/AD in the backcourt. However Casey expects every one to play balls out on defense - and that's easy to preach to a group of young guys trying to prove something in the league. But to convince someone who has a huge ego like Carmelo is another thing. One of the most respected coaches in the league in George Karl couldn't get him to play defense either, so I doubt Casey would be able to do it either.
As for Nash - I'm 100% all in! Just hope he'd want to come play for his home country. Most probably he's sticking with Phoenix though.

found this on sportnet, would you guys do it? ...
The impact of Steve Nash on the Raptors is immediate and ongoing. Message to team: We are serious about improving. We expect him to make you better, so it's also on you. This si an example of what a top level professional athlete is supposed to be like. The last could impact Demar, Davis, Johnson(s) plus JV and new pick.
Sign me up.

Don't really care about the Melo part (no I'm Coming Home video for the ACC). But Nash is interesting. I thought NY was looking like a logical place to go for him (he lives there, no?). As good as Lin is, you wouldn't take him over Nash but at the same time, the Knicks are no longer lost without a point guard. Maybe the current NY scenario is just a bit too SNAFU'd to attract Nash. So maybe he'll look to her poor cousin....

I would be appauled if they traded for him. It probably would mean JV is a Knick.

I mean obviously if his value is at an all-time low of course, but then again would he want to play here? Probably not.
Of course if this happens I'd be completely for drafting Thomas Robinson, Drummond, or if we managed to win the lotto get Davis. I'd do this trade with maybe the 2nds or a future pick headed their way.
