In my opinion, the Bulls trade doesn't make all that much sense for Denver. Just not enough back for Carmelo, so it got me thinking about what would be best for them. Here's what I've got
Denver Sends:
Carmelo Anthony
JR Smith
Shelden Williams
New Jersey Sends:
Derrick Favors
Travis Outlaw
Anthony Morrow
Troy Murphy
Denver would probably be best suited to give the keys to Lawson and trade Billups for more pieces, and thent trade Murphy at the dealine. But before that you'd be looking at rotations of:
Denver:
Billups
Affalo
Outlaw
Murphy
Favors
Rotation: Morrow, Lawson, Harrington, Anderson.
New Jersey:
Harris
T-Will
Melo
Humphries
Lopez
Rotation: JR Smith, Boone, Farmar, D. James, Petro, Q. Ross
New Jersey would probably want to make a smaller trade for a legitimate 4. Maybe James and a pick for Big Baby.
Thoughts?
