The Pistons and Nuggets could entertain the possibility of a trade involving stars Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups, according to a report in The Boston Globe.

Detroit is reportedly looking to acquire Anthony after passing over him in the 2003 NBA Draft.

Billups might enjoy a move to the Nuggets as he is from the Denver area. George Karl and Co. are seemingly open to the idea of trading Anthony because of his off-court issues and attitude.

I'm just saying out of all their roster Billups has to be the one they want to deal. They could make up a package or something but if they kept Billups and Melo they'd be a pretty good pair

Bad decision for the Pistons if they decide to go with this...

Truth is, the Pistons would be willing to trade Chauncey Billups, and others, and the Nuggets are agreeable to listen to offers for Carmelo Anthony and others. The Pistons have point guard-in-waiting Rodney Stuckey, who took over when Billups strained his hamstring in the playoffs. An exchange of Anthony, Marcus Camby, Kenyon Martin and Chucky Atkins for Billups, Tayshaun Prince, Rasheed Wallace and Detroit's first-round pick (29th) makes the most sense (and dollars under the cap for the Nuggets) and is scary-good for both teams.

Seems like a trade thats pretty fair if you ask me.

OMG CAMBY, MELO, AND MARTIN WOULD BE SO SWEET!

Camby - Martin - Anthony - Hamilton - Stuckey

I'd love that.

I wouldn't mind that, but I'd be really sad to see Tay go but Melo is one of my fav scorers so this would be cool. I kinda hope it happens.

Plus we actually get a downlow presence, something we really lack.

Not trying to shoot this down or anything, but what are the odds of this happening?

I wish I could call up Joey D to tell him to ask the Nuggets to do it..We will probably never see that trade idea. Or even think of it.

Really, I got his number...You call him though lol.

Melo's agent said that there is no truth to this, but Joe said that he has been talking to Denver and a half a dozen other teams about getting a superstar.

Joe said that if he's offering his 4 best players he don't want a teams 2nd or 3rd best he wants to get a goto allstar 1st best type of guy... And I'd like to see that.

Here's a thought: Maybe they should of drafted Melo instead of an unproven foreigner...

Not quite, the scoring would only really come from 2 places. Neither Camby nor Martin are double-digit scorers anymore. They basically become what the Nuggets are now.

I agree, but if they could maybe play better(like Dyess has) then they could help us a lot. But I really only want Melo and Camby... Doubt a trade like this happens, but I would like it. And if we do something like these I'd hope for more trades to happen.
