Where Will 'Melo land..?

As a side note, do we really want a league in which not only legitimate stars like Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul resort to strongarming their franchises with trade demands and list of destinations, but the likes of Rudy Fernandez as well?

We'd seen the signs...

But, to the issue at hand:  Since it's become clear that Anthony will be shipped out of Denver ASAP, it's also time to predict where he'll end up.  Y'know, because we all love predictions, especially bloggers... No skin off our asses if we're wrong, but we feel like Soothsayer Supreme if we're right. 

My vote(s): Either New Jersey or Golden State, with a slight lean toward the Nets. 

Sure, the Clippers are in LA and 'Melo's wife works there, blah blah... It's still the Clippers.  And sure, the MJ factor looms rather large in Charlotte, but it's still the Bobcats.  Remember, we're dealing with a list of demands.  Nobody demands the Clippers or the Bobcats. 

The Rockets have also been mentioned, but the uncertainty of Yao ever playing again is sure to put the kibosh on that one.  Plus, the Rockets play in Houston.  As far as I'm aware, nobody has ever demanded to go to Houston for any reason.

The Nets and the Warriors each have new owners, pending or otherwise, that are surely looking to make a big splash.  Jersey gets the advantage because of the bold swagger, the deeper pocketbooks, the City of New York, the prospect of completely owning Brooklyn, and the slightly more promising young talent. 

But at this point, would it really shock us if he signed with Miami...?
