mavericks after nuggets' anthony?
By mark j. Miller
the dallas mavericks are starting to show signs of being interested in snagging denver nuggets forward carmelo anthony(notes).

Dallasbasketball.com reports that the mavs "continue to touch base" with denver in recent days about what it would take to snag anthony.

However, the nuggets want young and talented players in return, the site notes, and rodrigue beaubois(notes) might be the only guy who fits that criteria on the mavs roster.

The nuggets also apparently don't want the expiring contract of caron butler(notes), either, the site notes. So it's unclear if these two teams can match up well enough to make any deal involving anthony.

i do not want him!!

why not, he is a scorer, and would be a nice piece to go along with Nowitzki. They would have 2 scorers on offense. Also he is a free agent at the end of the year so why not. Take the gamble cause Dirk isnt getting any younger

I really just don't like his personality. He seems like a "this is all about me" type of player. The mavs don't need that.

Dallas is going to have 3 strings of starters.

Good move for Dallas.... Although I've never really been a Carmelo fan I can't knock the guys talent.

i havent heard much of that, but i watched him last night against the Magic and he can do some damage driving to the hoop

Too many scorers isn't necessarily a good thing. When you have everybody trying to pad their own stats, increasing their individual value, it could lead to not many overall points. Look at the Heat.

different situation I think. Dallas would be more balanced with Anthony and Dirk. Miami has won 9 or 10 in a row.

Carmelo is going to New York not Dallas

Mavs might be interested in him, but NYK are hot and heavy after him and have been for a good while. I'm actually shocked the trade hasn't happened yet.

if he does go to the Knicks the watch out. They are already a good team with Amare and are 5th in the Eastern Conference Standings. So far they are the most improved team from last year based on W-L record.

I'll add, too, I'm too worried about what they would have to give up to get him. IMO, Tyson Chandler goes anywhere, this season is over. He's done a LOT for this team, so I'm not a fan of sending him packing.

If they traded for Melo than it would only be for the rest of this year. I'm not sure I want the Mavs to give up on some young talent for a rental.

[unkoricky]

this would be like a Cliff Lee deal.. La La wants him in the east coast anyways.

lets be honest, how many years does Dirk have playing at a productive level. How long will he average 20+ points per game?
