Marc Stein reported that the Denver Nuggets tried involving Blake Griffin into the Carmelo Anthony trade. They say it would be a dream trade.
"Griffin is one of Denver's dream targets in an Anthony trade, but sources told ESPN.com that those overtures have been consistently rejected," Stein wrote.
It's not surprising the Clippers have rejected with Griffin being most-likely Rookie of the Year, Slam Dunk Competition winner, and in the All-Star game.
I don't know why the Nuggets would even consider trying going for him. Crazy stuff.
However, the trade is in fact possible. Try this on ESPN Trade Machine:
Denver Nuggets Get - Derrick Favors, Stephen Graham, Devin Harris, Anthony Morrow, Quinton Ross, Ben Uzoh, Blake Griffin
New Jersey Nets Get - Carmelo Anthony, Richard Hamilton, Chauncey Billups
Detroit Pistons Get - Johan Petro, Troy Murphy
Los Angeles Clippers Get - Al Harrington
According to John Hollinger's analysis, the Nuggets increase their wins by two, Nets increase by six and both the Pistons and Clippers decrease by two.
