The latest story going around is that the only kind of trade that Melo would be interested in staying is a Pau Gasol like trade for a premier big man. The good news for us, is that as we approach trade deadline teams are going to find out that they suck/know that what they have does not work. Which puts in a great position since we have a the real big bertha in the pocket (KMart's expiring contract). Here is the trade I'm proposing that will get Melo to sign the extension and put the Nuggets in a fantastic position to compete for a championship for several years...

The Denver Nuggets send Kenyon Martin to the Miami Heat for Chris Bosh.

Why Denver does this? Bosh gives Denver it's true No. 2 option on scoring with an extremely versatile big who can score almost anywhere and is a great passer and I think he would thrive on the Nuggets. A Bosh/Nene frontcourt would be one of the most dominant in the league with Big AL and Bird/Shelden coming off the bench would make the Nuggets sickening deep.

Why Miami does this? Miami is finding out that this big experiment isn't working out. Have three stars and surrounding them with Vet mins/Scrubs is not the way to build a contender. Taking on KMarts expiring contract gives them flexibility to surround DWade and LeBron with better fitting role players that will complement them better.
