Nets Get Picks To Trade For Melo - Page 2 - CHI CITY SPORTS l #1 Chicago Sports Fan Message Board

williams is being shipped of for a pick that's probably going to be in the late teens. The lakers pick is practically worthless, so essentially they're getting a pick 15-20 and a pick 27-30. Really are those THAT attractive?

The Nuggets are going to have a lot of roster to fill if Melo is gone. You have to figure Billups, Smith & Martin aren't going to be resigned, and with Nene only having a year left they can probably dump him too. So the more draft picks they can get to build a new roster the better.

One problem with the NBA is that it's very difficult to rebuild.

In the NFL getting 4 1st rounders, or even 4 1st day picks would be a massive talent influx for your team. In the NBA, unless those 4 picks are in the top 15 then odds are you just got 4 guys to fill in the 7-15 spots on your roster which are fairly easy to fill in via low salaried players anyway.

I agree, late first rounders rarely turn out to be much good. But if you're rebuilding from nearly scratch like the Nuggets post-Melo you're better off having your 15 MPG end of rotation guys be 20 years old and maybe have some potential to be starters in the future than 30 year old vets.

Unless you're A) Kevin Pritchard!

The only man to want as man draft picks as possible. or B) The Detroit Lions, where you would pick 1-4 four WRs in a snap.
