Trading for Carmelo for the Bulls?

[Ferrari997]

Anyone been able to do it? All I know is that you will need to involve a third team because you don't get any offers straight up through trade finder. Ideally, I'd like to offer a package of Boozer/Deng/picks for Melo. Basically anyone but Rose and Noah

If you've followed recent news, Melo going to the Bulls isn't exactly unlrealistic, although I don't see Bulls giving up Boozer. But I'd rather trade him than Noah.

If worse comes to worse, I could FORCE a trade that I think would be the most fair/realistic. But I would rather not since it feels cheap.

TeamBuilder...are you out there? haha

I tried doing it without Noah, Deng, Tag and 2 1st's for him but that got me no where.

Hell I even had a tough time inquiring about Granger. How that above package not being good enough is beyond me. They wanted me to add in Noah and they would toss in Hibbert.

Wasn't sold on that one.

I actually had no problem getting Granger lol. I planned on using him to get Melo. I basically put Granger in trade finder and I think they asked for Boozer and a first rounder for Granger and Rush.

Then I tried Granger and my other first+ Gibson/Deng for Melo. Nothing. I did the same scenario for Igouadala too. I'm basically throwing the house at Denver. Makes no sense. When I put Melo in trade finder, they dont offer ANYTHING. But if I try a player like Durant, who should be literally UNTOUCHABLE, they offer me something, albeit nothing I would ever accept.

Frustrating...I'm really about THIS close to just forcing a trade. Ugh...

I am literally offering boozer for melo right now in front of me. Not even close. I can hear Denver laughing at the offer from here lol. Not really sure how you did. But...yeah, even if that does work, no way I would do it anyways. Maybe its just me, but I hate ripping off the computer. To keep it realistic, when in doubt, always overpay. That's my motto.

heh, considering that denver wanted noah for melo, i don't think it's that far fetched. i don't think noah is any better overall than boozer.
