It was my understanding that Melo has till June 30th 2011 to sign the 65 million dollar extension. Does anyone know if that is that correct?

If that is the case why not keep him all season and if after the season is over and he still wants to leave he can sign the deal so that he still gets his money (65 million) and we can still get something in return for him and trade him to a team of his choice. It's a win win for both Melo and the Nuggets. Plus we still get to make one last push with the team we have now.

Thoughts?
