The only thing Carmelo Anthony brings to the table is scoring,his defense, attitude, and overall demeanor sucks! he's T-Mac part 2 without the passing ability of McLady. with Martin,Brooks,Scola,Ming,and Budinger the last thing this ball club needs is scoring. What we need is for skilled length in the frontcourt to help a still recovering Ming battle with the huge front-line of the Fakers. If it isn't a trade for that type of player i don't want to trade! Physical defense like the type that Artest brings will easily get into the head of ya'll's favorite son Carmelnce again Kobe will roam around with no one to guard once we trade away Martin. Kobe will conserve all his energy to rip out our heart's in the fourth quarter. This team as it's currently constructed gives us a better chance against the Lakers, with Martin, Brooks,Lee, and Lowery there's no roaming for Kobe he has to guard someone. and with Miller,Patterson,and a hopefully improved Hill we've got a lot of bodies to help Scola and Ming on the front-line. This team needs to be given a chance to succeed against the only team that matters in the west,THE LAKERS! Morey, please don't gut this team for a guy who at any moment could be suspended for sucker punching an opponent when he's not looking, or be caught blowing dro and sipping lean in the bathroom of a local strip joint.
