I went on that twitter, but couldn't find this. Maybe he deleted it?

Anyways, I don't see how much of a better deal Denver could get. They get a pretty decent player in AK47 who could win them games and is a large expiring contract, plus they get their man in Favors. Don't forget about the picks as well.

We could not have offered a better deal. Sadly all this asset accumulating is put to no use.

Nets want Augustin; Bobcats not inclined to ship him off though not viewed as a deal breaker.

One impediment, sources say, is the Bobcats' refusal to include point guard D.J. Augustin in the trade. The Nets, who will be left without a starting point guard with Devin Harris going to Charlotte in the four-team scenario, don't necessarily view that as a deal-breaker. But sources say the Nets, the team that has been most aggressive in its pursuit of Anthony since it became known six weeks ago he wanted out of Denver, are concerned enough that they are continuing their attempts to pry Augustin from the Bobcats. If they're unsuccessful, another option would be to try to bring in another team.

"It could expand," one of the sources said.

The executives involved in the trade discussions were not aware of Anthony signing off on being sent to New Jersey, as reported by the New York Daily News, but would not be surprised given the vibes they've gotten previously from Anthony's team of advisers at Creative Artists Agency, including agents Leon Rose and William Wesley.

The Nuggets, Nets, Bobcats and Jazz began discussing the four-way deal "weeks ago," according to one of the people with knowledge of the talks. The Nuggets, trying to take control of the message and the leverage, accelerated matters in the past 48 hours when GM Masai Ujiri and executive Josh Kroenke -- son of owner Stan Kroenke -- flew to the New York area to meet with Nets officials, sources told CBSSports.com. Ujiri and Kroenke left the city Friday without finalizing details of the trade, sources said, but all parties agreed to "keep working on it."

Yahoo! Sports reported that Denver was giving Anthony 48 hours to decide whether he'd agree to an extension and be traded to the Nets or stay in Denver.

The Nuggets would get No. 3 overall pick Derrick Favors from the Nets, who would send Harris to the Bobcats and Quinton Ross to the Jazz. Charlotte, in turn, would send Boris Diaw to Utah, which would send Andrei Kirilenko to the Nuggets. Denver also would get a 2012 first-round pick from the Nets, who got the pick from Golden State. The selection is top-seven protected in 2012 and '13 and top-six protected in '14.

With the framework of the deal now public, the Nuggets can use it to solicit better offers from other teams. The Knicks, for example, have taken a patient approach, believing that Anthony wouldn't find a better situation than waiting until after the season and signing as a free agent with New York -- his first choice. Now, the Knicks may be compelled to reignite previous efforts to locate an attractive first-round pick to send to Denver.

At the same time, Anthony has something to think about besides simply wanting out of Denver. He has the possibility of a consolation prize -- playing in the New York market, but doing it in New Jersey for the next two years. Given Anthony's displeasure with the instability in Denver -- including the ousting of GM Mark Warkentien and the resulting departure of George Karl's trusted assistant, Tim Grgurich -- that may be a more attractive option. If nothing else, the Nuggets are forcing him to make that call now, before even stepping foot on the court for training camp. If the tactic works, offers will come flooding in from other teams who are looking to get in the sweepstakes.

Okay, I might get killed for this but what if we find a way to get Billups from Denver and move AB to NJ???

Billups has two years left on his deal at a high salary but has championship experience and a true leader. Love AB, but with Yao's window closing fast Billups gives up a chance to go for it NOW.

Billups/Lowry
Martin/Lee
Battier/Bud
Scola/Hayes/PP
Yao/Miller

@tribjazz Anthony is leaning toward accepting trade, but issues are still being discussed, league source said. #UtahJazz

@KBerg_CBS Melo approval of deal is news to two execs involved, though both say completing the deal itself more challenging than getting yes from Melo.

I'd honestly be happy and estatic if we somehow ended up with Billups and Nene.

Plug those two in our lineup and you've got a contender.

You don't trade away your 25 year old up and coming PG for a 34 year old one that is declining before our eyes.

Teams that do that lose.....a lot.....

Doesn't mean it won't happen.

The only way I don't see Melo in a NYets jersey by next Wed. is if the Nets sleep on it this weekend and decide that they don't want to risk the future and want to keep, as Avery Johnson calls Favors, the "next Duncan or Garnett".

Defense! Defense! Defense!

You hear that? That is the sound of the crowd yelling AB to play some!

Unfortunately he doesnt! Billups is way better defender than AB!

OMG, look at how bad the Nets team last year, and thats with harris playing part of the year. Can't imaging how bad nets will be now WITHOUT harris and not having favors. IMO, denver gets the better of this trade. Melo albeit an all star, is not going to make the nets that much better than last year.

The Heat are younger than the Lakers, the lakers have about 2 or 3 years more in dominating the west, I think he has better chance of winning more playoffs games in Denver than being a Net.

Used to be, used to be, not anymore...AB and others torched Billups last year.

Don't be so hasty in wanting to trade AB, coach met with him and Martin and they are gonna get better.

Declining??? They had the exact same numbers while Billups was playing with Melo (Ballstopper) and his defense was LIGHT years ahead of AB.

NOT SAYING BROOKS IS BAD OR I DON'T WANT HIM ON THIS TEAM but our window is closing VERY fast.

Just read the recent article by David Aldridge and found it quite funny.

http://www.nba.com/2010/news/09/24/aldridge-carmelo-anthony/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpt1

The Nuggets are still trying to figure out some way to keep the 26-year-old Anthony in the Mile High City, despite his clear desire to leave. A league source said Denver had made a recent attempt to pry Detroit guard Rip Hamilton from the Pistons without success to show Anthony that the organization could still put talented players around him.

LMAO at the Nuggets trying to convince Melo to stay by going after washed up Hamilton!
