Carmelo Anthony has been tied to rumors involving both the Knicks and Nets for months now. With the trade deadline fast approaching, it appears the Nuggets have a deal pending that will send Carmelo to the Nets. This deal is pending because it will still be up to NJ to convince the one-time Syracuse star to sign a three year contract extension. It is expected that Makhail Prokhorov will meet with Anthony this weekend in LA to try to get this extension in place. It has been widely publicized that Anthony's goal was to become a Knick, and thus, NY Knick owner, James Dolan, will be meeting with him this weekend as well. Because the trade deadline is 3pm Thursday afternoon, this weekend will be crunch time for his two suitors.
Here are the details of the tentative deal:
Nets get: Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Sheldon Williams, Melvin Ely, and Renaldo Balkman from the Nuggets.
Nuggets get: Devin Harris, Derrick Favors, Troy Murphy, Ben Uzoh, and FOUR First Round Draft Picks from the Nets.
This would truly be a BLOCKBUSTER!
