June 22, 200818 yr He has until June 24th to opt out. They owe him $17.8 Million for this upcoming season. But to answer your question, yes, he is supposed to decide. I wasn't sure when the date was.. I think he'll see what the heat does on draft day. He may be traded on draft day, who knows!
June 22, 200818 yr After seeing what trades done to help the Celtics and Lakers I'm sure we are going to see a lot of movement this off season. I love the fact Arenas opted out, should be a good pick-up for someone. Say a team who is just one piece away from being real good, like Orlando signed him, then it would be a great situation for both, but this is just one example. Should be an interesting off season.
June 22, 200818 yr Why not try to get Rasheed Wallace to help Kobe...Gasol for Rasheed? Sheet is starting to decline, no way they do that.
June 22, 200818 yr Why not try to get Rasheed Wallace to help Kobe...Gasol for Rasheed? Sheed is getting old. Gasol still hasn't relly hit his prime yet. Sheet is starting to decline, no way they do that. :thumb:

Although he likes to shoot the ball, he doesn't seem to be the guy that HAS to have the ball & when he does it's not like he's a ball hog. :thumb:
June 23, 200818 yr Author Agent: Nuggets have vowed not to trade Carmelo http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3456352 The agent for Carmelo Anthony says the Denver Nuggets have told him they will not trade the two-time All-Star forward this summer. "He's not going to be moved," Calvin Andrews said in a telephone interview Sunday. "It's not happening. We've been given assurances from the owner on down." Three sources with knowledge of the situation said Saturday afternoon that Andrews, and possibly Anthony, had planned to meet with the Nuggets on Monday to discuss Anthony's future. Anthony, who does not want to be traded, is bothered by his name being mentioned in rumors and upset because the Nuggets have not come out publicly and denounced a possible trade, the sources said. That issue was going to be addressed at Monday's meeting and if Anthony's party wasn't satisfied with the Nuggets' answers, they were set to ask for a trade, the sources said.

But the Nuggets weren't interested. Denver countered with an offer of Allen Iverson or a package featuring Marcus Camby, but the Pistons are only interested in Anthony. President Joe Dumars said at his season-ending news conference that he wanted to bust up his core this summer and that he was open to moving any player besides point guard Rodney Stuckey. "There are no sacred cows here," Dumars said. "You lose that sacred-cow status when you lose three straight years" in the conference finals. Dumars also has said he is not interested in other teams' second- or third-best players, a category into which Iverson and Camby would fall.
June 23, 200818 yr Extremely. I think Billups and Prince could have really helped Denver a lot more than Melo will. They've seen that that doesn't work, but with a lineup of Billups, Prince, Iverson, Camby, and Smith I think Denver could be pretty decent, not counting the FA signings and draft.

I agree 100%. :thumb:
June 23, 200818 yr Also, with Billups and Prince you have already improved the Denver defense drastically. With Camby blocking shots, you have Prince who can guard a lot of people, and Billups who is also defensively sound. I dunno though.
June 23, 200818 yr If the Nuggets can add some interior players they should have a solid team. JR Smith is really turning it on and is becoming one of the most improved players in the NBA. He has a really nice game and a style that fits with the Nuggets. If they run AI at point, have Smith at the two, then Melo three, then Denver is only a solid PF away from really being something. Although they still cannot play D.

Although they still cannot play D. That's the thing with them. They had all kinds of talent but it was all on offense besides Camby. If they bring in Tay & Billups that bumps there offensive & defensive games up tremendously.
