[ice grillin you]

Until then, the Nets have an opportunity to fill out their roster, as this draft has more big-man depth than most of recent vintage. Selecting 27th and 31st, the Nets are giving strong consideration to four power forwards: Larry Sanders of VCU, Craig Brackins of Iowa State, Gani Lawal of Georgia Tech, and Tiny Gallon of Oklahoma.

The Nets will have their final workouts Wednesday, with a second visit from power forward Tiny Gallon of Oklahoma. He is on their short list of potential draftees for the No. 27 and 31 picks, along with guards Dominique Jones of South Florida and Jordan Crawford of Xavier, and forwards Gani Lawal of Georgia Tech and Craig Brackins of Iowa State. The Nets are convinced that Larry Sanders of VCU, another favorite, is going to be taken before 27.

The Sixers and Denver are talking about a potential trade that would bring Carmelo Anthony to Philadelphia and send Andre Iguodala to Denver, a Western Conference executive has confirmed to the Daily News.

The executive said Nuggets GM Masai Ujiri has spoken with Ed Stefanski.

Other players would need to be involved in the trade to match salaries.

The Sixers are not among the four teams that Anthony has said are his preferred destinations, with Chicago and New York at the top of his list.

The Sixers also would need to get Anthony to sign an extension. His contract expires after the season and he has not signed a 3-year extension offered by Denver.

Iguodala agreed to a 6-year, $80 million contract with the Sixers in August 2008.

Reports late last week had Anthony close to going to New Jersey in a complex four-team deal that also involved Utah and Charlotte.  The New York Daily News is reporting that the Bobcats are holding up the deal, unwilling to include point guard D.J. Augustin. Charlotte was expecting Augustin would replace Raymond Felton, who left this offseason via free agency.

Indications are that the Nuggets would like a deal done before they begin training camp tomorrow.

bruiser brand aint gonna like that

I'm probably in the minority, but I want no part of Melo.  He's a damn good player but there's just something about him that I can't really put my finger on that I don't like. 

[Drunkmasterflex]

Im not sure I would want him on the team either.  It would be interesting at least. 

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Y'all are gonzo.  Get 'Melo.

While that certainly doesn't make him any more endearing, that's not really it.  I just don't think the guy has a "winner's mentality."  He puts up big numbers and is an amazing talent but he's farged in the head.

I think it's the fact that he plays no defense and also seems very Lackadaisical most of the time.

the people commenting on Melo have probably watched about 7 Nuggets games since he's been there.
