I hope so, it'll finally confirm what everyone was wondering: does Melo simply want out or does he want to win?Comment -
ESPN America...It was just reported about 10 minutes ago.. I'll try to find something else..Comment -
There was about 8 players total involved in the trade,..maybe more..Comment -
Has this been confirmed yet? Been looking at TV but haven't found anything as of yetComment -
I hope so, Brooklyn here he comes.Comment -
carmelo anthony = the skinniest fat guy in America...Comment -
Is it for real? I thought the owner had called the deal off. Either way the Nuggets ripped these guys off in a big way.Comment -
I think not confirmed
I know there is a report from a local paper that deal is ready but Anthony has to agree to extensionComment -
FalseComment -
yea,..thats what im reading around everywhere too... I dont know.. I could have sworn I just saw something on espn america reporting this as a done deal.. hmmmmm...Comment -
This is the deal that is on the table, if Melo Agrees. He hasn't yet.
The Bergen Record is reporting a tentative deal is in place for Carmelo Anthony to become a Net, pending Anthony's agreement to an extension -- a piece of paper that has become the most ballyhooed document outside of Congress.
The deal is the same Ken Berger reported on Thursday evening and we discussed Thursday afternoon , reported now by the Record , ESPN , and Yahoo!. It features the Nuggets getting Devin Harris, Derrick Favors and Ben Uzoh, with a third team taking on Troy Murphy. No one's figured out a third team to take Murphy, so either the deal isn't as tentatively "done" as the Record is reporting or the teams are agreeing to a deal that assumes something they can't really count on. Again, no surprises there, considering how botched this process has been from the beginning.
So again, the ball is in Melo's court.
Berger reported early Thursday that no talks have been scheduled between Melo and Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov nor with Knicks owner James Dolan. That could change between now and Thursday's media availability, for which we'll have full coverage.
For Prokhorov to take this meeting is in and of itself revealing of his attitudes as an owner. Apparently enough was not enough. Despite Masai Ujiri playing with the Nets for up to six weeks, agreeing to deals then backtracking and wanting more, the Russian mogul is about to get in bed with Denver again, only this time he's giving up the largest collection of assets yet. It may be the best thing for his business, but you have to wonder how he'd feel about it were he to step back and realize how badly he's been jerked around so far, assuming these reports are accurate.
Anthony, however, isn't running into this arrangement with open arms. He's having to be convinced to meet with the owner of a National Basketball Association team in a major market that's looking to build a championship around him. If he's convinced, it won't be his whole self that is convinced -- it'll simply be an understanding that this is a compromise that features two of his goals: to play in a bigger market and to get the extension before the CBA is renegotiated.
And what will be left to help him after the Nets trade away nearly a third of their team? Billups, Vujacic, Humphries and Lopez, with Morrow, Farmar, Outlaw and Stephen Graham off the bench. GET EXCITED, NEW JERSEY. For the remaining year you have before the team bolts to Brooklyn.
This situation is as perplexing as ever, and should it fall through, Donnie Walsh may need oxygen because he'll be laughing so hard.Comment -

F Melo. The boy can shoot, but I about figure if I took 40 shots a game, I'd also get 20+ points. Can't stand players like Melo. Iverson reminds me of one of those guys. All the talent in the world and worst.teammate.ever. Iverson could've been the best PG ever - better than Magic, possibly. Meh, F the NBA. It's stupid.Comment -
i dont believe he would ruin his carear by going to NJComment -
Well,.I can see both sides here. Carmelo really just wants more money i'm sure,. but Denver shouldn't trade him. Pay him more,.screw it..,but pray to get some picks in the draft..Or trade some bench players for some picks.. Grab some bigger players and run onto next season full throttle.
BUT NOOOOOOOOO!!! Carmelo wants drama like everyone else right before the All Star break.. Im sure he's hoping some players get together and discuss some trades to be another powerhouse...(Heat)!!?? I hate all this drama,.just play the game.. This is supposed to be a game not a summer blockbuster movie!!Comment -
after thinking about this possible trade,i came up with this...new jersey has had the worst luck with 1st rd draft picks so they figure if they get melo.billups and the other guys.they know what they are getting instaed of drafting someone who will have his career destroyed by playing with nets......since the nets came to the nba.....who was there best net or do they have oneComment -
well nets did have a glory days year with jkidd, kenyon martin, richard jefferson, and marvin somethign or whateverComment -
bout time if it is true. hate the destination though.. thought it would be more exciting if it was the knicksComment
