What do you think of this: NBA Blockbuster (New York, Memphis, Charlotte, Denver)?

Question

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=29px2s5

New York: Gets Carmelo, a starting SG in OJ, and some size in Kwame; not to mention they retain Fields and Chandler.

Memphis: Unload OJ and Thabeet; Get $11m in expiring contracts; 2 solid SG's and a highly versatile player.

Charlotte: Let the rebuilding begin. 4 solid young players with a lot of potential; unload their former stars to create cap room.

Denver: An immediate Carmelo replacement (downgrade, but nonetheless); a promising young forward and $12m expiring contracts.

Throw in a few draft picks here and there (To Memphis/Denver?)....
What do you think?

I think its a great trade for New York, seeing as they get Melo, and good starting SG in Mayo, and another decent big man in Kwame. This could make them a title contender.

I didn't know Memphis wanted to get rid of OJ and Thabeet, but it certainly helps them much.

Charlotte gets to rebuilding, which has kind of been overdue. Nuggets fill up Melo, somewhat, whit Wallace and that's about it.

Denver is not going to give ny Melo. They don't get back anything they need (young players, 1st round picks, expiring contracts, and they have no need for wallace) They need to rebuild so draft picks are going to be a big factor in the Melo trade, NY can't give Denver any !st round picks so a trade between NY and Denver makes ne sense for Denver.

I love how Denver gets trash in return when they're the ones trading their best player. Only valuable thing is Eddy Curry's expiring contract.
