If the rumored package is true, the Nuggets are making out like bandits. New Jersey is more than welcome to Melo if Favors + Harris + two lottery picks is the asking price.

Just happy he won't be a Knick.

They learned from the Cavaliers and Raptors mistakes. Those other teams got raped for LeBron and Bosh compared to the Nuggets.

Warriors pick is protected and Nets own pick won't be lottery.

I don't really get this deal. By giving up Favors and those draft picks the Nets have essentially forfeited their ability to put more talent around their new core of Melo and Lopez, and they won't have a strong team as presently constructed. They will be trying to build a supporting cast using second round draft picks and the MLE. Who does Rod Thorn think he is? Daryl Morey?

Iguodala.

I think it's safe to say Melo will regret this.

The warriors pick is top 7 protected, good chance they improve enough for that picks to be worth something next offseason.

If this trade goes down, Denver just absolutely committed highway robbery. Favors+multiple future picks for a guy who wasn't going to resign anyways is nothing short of AMAZING.

On a related note, New Jersey is absolutely crazy for doing this. They give up two of their three most prized possessions in Harris and Favors plus first round picks down the line. Just terrible.

as much as Im bummed about not getting Melo, Im glad all this waiting is soon about to be over and I can move on without checking clutchfans every 10 mins for the past months lol..Now we still have a really good team with yound talent and a deep bench, also now that yao will be back in the lineup and "if" he can prove that he's still a top 2 center in the Nba, free agents like Chris paul will want to Join Houston next year. Lets get the ball rolling!!!

NJ is dumb for giving up Harris.

rockets934life · Sep 24, 2010

The Nets talked big and hung up a big, boastful billboard above the Garden. That didn't work.

But now, without the hype and unpredictability of free agency, they are on the verge of changing the whole basketball landscape.

According to multiple sources with knowledge of a proposed four-team blockbuster, the Nets are negotiating a deal that would bring them Carmelo Anthony from Denver in exchange for Devin Harris, first-round pick Derrick Favors plus draft picks.

There are some small details that could derail the deal, but Anthony is believed to have signed off on the deal, according to an NBA source, and it could happen as early as Saturday. Anthony's approval was pivotal in the deal because the Nets wouldn't have agreed to it for a one-year rental.

On the day both the Knicks and Nets held their media days, it was the area's wannabe star franchise that was making by far the bigger headlines. Two years before its scheduled move to Brooklyn, general manager Billy King appears determined to one-up his counterpart in Manhattan.

The proposed deal - which would also involve the Jazz and Bobcats - would have Favors going back to Denver, along with Utah's Andrei Kirilenko and multiple draft picks from the Nets and Warriors (the Nets hold Golden State's first-round pick in 2012).

Harris would be sent to Charlotte, while Boris Diaw would be shipped from Charlotte to Utah. Other role players are being discussed as part of the complex trade.

According to a source, the Nuggets will make a final effort this weekend to convince Anthony to return after his contract expires next summer. But after Anthony refused to sign a three-year extension that's been on the table since June - and after he turned down an opportunity this month to express any loyalty to the Nuggets in an interview with the News - it's unlikely the three-time All-Star will change his mind.

If the Nuggets fail to successfully woo Anthony, as expected, a deal should materialize quickly. The longer they keep Anthony around, the longer he becomes a distraction and his trade value dips. The Nuggets would rather trade him than end up with nothing. It's a harsh lesson already learned by the Cavaliers, who lost LeBron James for nothing to Miami when he shunned Cleveland, the Knicks, the Nets and a host of other suitors.

The Nets must also worry about teams swooping in with 11th-hour offers. Chicago, a preferred destination for Anthony, could reportedly change everything by offering Joakim Noah to Denver.

The Nets' only untouchable is their young center, Brook Lopez. But they're offering an All-Star point guard (Harris) and the third pick in this year's draft (Favors). Ironically, rumors of the trade began to circulate during Nets' Media Day on Friday, when both Favors and Harris were discussing the team's "bright" future.

King was spotted before the event started, before retreating to his office. He declined to comment. Coach Avery Johnson spoke mostly about his current roster, but offered only an inscrutable response when asked about potential trades.

"Every general manager is always out looking to improve the ball club and that's what they should do," Avery said. "If Billy was sitting up in his office watching political television shows - 'cause I heard he's a politics guy - I'd be very disappointed.

"We have a very strategic game plan," Avery said. "For us to disrupt that plan, it would have to be something that we think we would hit a home run with. And we don't have anything happening like that right now."

Favors said he was given some assurance from Avery about remaining with the franchise, although the coach stopped short of guaranteeing the 19-year-old he wouldn't be traded.

"He didn't tell me that," Favors said. "He just told me not to worry about it."

Anthony has a strong monetary incentive to approve a sign-and-trade deal with another team, because he'd likely earn more money under the current CBA which expires after the season. He also has considerable leverage to choose his next team, simply by indicating his reluctance to play long-term for any given franchise.

Although the Knicks are his preferred destination, the Nets are close enough to NewYork to appease many of Anthony's perceived desires.

Nets and Bobcats still haven't agreed on DJ Augustin coming to Jersey as part of deal, team sources say. Nets need that in deal.

They are going to be better with Melo, but they are still probably not a playoff team if they are giving up Favors and Harris. Melo can't carry a team that bad to the playoffs.
