Celtics3420 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 The Nets and Nuggets reportedly have reached a tentative agreement on a trade that would send Carmelo Anthony to New Jersey. The deal is pending Anthony's agreement on a long-term contract extension with the Nets. The trade would send Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Sheldon Williams, Melvin Ely and Renaldo Balkman to New Jersey, with Devin Harris, Derrick Favors, Troy Murphy, Ben Uzoh and four first-round draft picks to Denver. Denver would then try to unload Murphy's contract on a third team, presumably using one or more of the picks received from New Jersey. If Anthony turns down the Nets' overtures, the Knicks are expected to be the frontrunners to acquire Anthony before next week's trade deadline. Reportedly both the Knicks and Nets will hold meetings with Anthony during All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles.

NomarFachix Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 lmao 4 first rounders on top of Harris and Favors with bad players/contracts coming back to Jersey will never get old to me. I hope for the sake of Nets fans that this doesn't happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I literally lol'd when I saw this prokhorov is desperate, I'd be shocked if Melo went for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicbalala245 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Don't think Anthony will be heading to NJ still. I think he is heading to New York as his most likely destination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Universe Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Please do not do this. I know we have to compete with the Knicks but I'd rather watch Favors develop than Carmelo sulk in a couple years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htown11 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) 4 first rounders wow.... not worth it for the Nets. Speaking today at a community service event in LA, Anthony says a reported meeting with Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov is "news to me."

Dash Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Too much for Melo. At the very least, they should keep a few of their assets and try to trade for a starter to play alongside Melo/Billups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lkr Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 you guys act like Curry's expiring is big trade bait, but no one else has even offered anything for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JYD Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 you guys act like Curry's expiring is big trade bait, but no one else has even offered anything for himregardless. im sure hes just in the deal so contracts match up. but still taking 3/5 out of our starting lineup for a great scorer is too much. this deal is great for denver, power to them, i'd def accept this if i were them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfish Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Yeah this isnt going to happen anyway cause MELO ONLY WANTS TO PLAY IN NEW YORK Damn how hard is that for people to understand? Hes not going to sign an extension with NJ and never was. Especially after all they are giving up in this deal. This has 0 chance of happening.

This has 0 chance of happening.Lol...good point but still interesting to see how desperate NJ is even though they are raping their future in the deal and the fact that they won't be any good with a melo / lopez combo alone. they'd have no role players / bench at all with this deal and noooo future. they are going to have like a top 10 pick this year most likely.

And still make the playoffs this year...something we haven't done in like 6 seasons and be over .500 for the first time in a decade... AT THIS POINT, I'd give up (as Donnie Walsh and the Knicks):GalloChandler1st rd pick (involving third team, anthony randolph)Curry If the Nuggets wouldn't accept that...then I'd give up. Giving up Fields, and/or felton as well in the ^above deal would just be absurd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I thought Billups didn't wanna play anywhere but Denver. A Melo extension isn't the only thing the Nets gotta worry about in this trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the trade isn't so good on the Nets side but how do the Nets not have a future even if they were to trade for him? Not only are we getting a young superstar but we would have plenty of cash for the next big free agent fiasco. What was the Nuggets record before they drafted Carmelo? 17-65. What was the Nuggets record the first season with him? 43-39. I still don't think it'll happen but I heard the exact same thing with Kidd and he took us to two Finals in his first two years when he was traded here.
