Today in the NBA

Read a great article over ar SB Nation about NBA Superstar Shakeup's and what this will mean for organization's in the NBA moving forward. As much as Lebron has been vilified for leaving Cleveland, his exit was swift. Melo's exit from Denver is looking more and more like Vince Carter's exit from Toronto (minus the fake injuries).

This has been a very painful season for Denver fan's. They have to watch their team who currently hold seventh seed in the west  knowing their star player wants to be elsewhere. The Nets have tried to force the trade by further alienating the fanbase, which is why the Nuggets are pissed with them. How do you motivate your fanbase with all this "'Melo drama?" The Nuggets will trade him, but their window on getting anything in return is closing as we move further to the Trade deadline on Feb 24.

Will Steve Nash get moved this year? Looks like PHX is trying to hold on to him and I can't see Nash asking for a trade, in spite of their losing record. Imagine if the next big three were Stoudemire, Nash, and 'Melo under D'Antoni in NYC? I think we'd start to see a lot of Knick's fans claiming they had a case of amnesia for the past 12 years.
