[h1]Nuggets, Nets Were Again Close To Trade For Carmelo[/h1]Jan 06, 2011 10:15 PM EST

The Nuggets and Nets were reportedly close, for a second time, to hammering out the structure of a trade to send Carmelo Anthony to New Jersey.

According to Chris Broussard, a deal that would have brought in the Cavaliers was discussed before Christmas.

The trade would have sent one or two first-round picks to Cleveland in exchange for the large traded player exception that the Cavs acquired in signing-and-trading LeBron James to Miami.

Derrick Favors, Devin Harris and three first-round picks would have been sent to Denver. Al Harrington and his sizable contract would have been packaged with Anthony to New Jersey.

The deal fell apart because both Denver and Cleveland wanted the 2012 pick from Golden State that is protected for the top seven selections.

The Nets have a standing offer of Favors and two first-round picks for Anthony.

The Knicks remain Anthony's top choice but Denver is cold to New York's offer. The Knicks have been making the case to Anthony's agent that signing an extension before the season ends could have diminished value with a lockout looming. The league's bargaining stance includes shrinking all player contracts, whether already in existence or not.

I went to the Nets vs Sixers game at Philly a couple months ago and I don't think Favors even played a minute. What's the deal with that, they just trying to make sure he doesn't get hurt?

[h1]Carmelo Still Committed To Extension With Knicks Only If Traded[/h1]

Jan 07, 2011 1:55 PM EST

In a chat session, Chris Sheridan affirmed that Carmelo Anthony's current position is that he will only sign a contract extension, upon being traded, if Denver sends him to the Knicks.

Sheridan also reports that the Nets will not go through with a trade for Anthony unless he agrees to sign an extension with them.

"As I have reported before, the Nets will not do any 'Melo deal unless they are assured that he will sign the extension," wrote Sheridan. "And Melo is sticking to his guns that he will not sign an extension with any team, if traded, unless that team is the Knicks. That has been the case for more than a month, and it remains the case as of this very moment."

This is all such a circus - if he wants to go to New York then he needs to understand that he is probably going to forfeit a lot of money. If he wants the money then just accept the trade to NJ/Brooklyn and move on. If he wants an extension and to play for the Knicks he is out of luck. As Nuggets fan I find this all to be ridiculous and not entirely fair to the Nuggets organization and I hope at some he realizes he is not get both and decides which is more important.

[h1]As Carmelo's Frustration Mounts, Trade Is 'All On Denver'[/h1]
Jan 07, 2011 4:01 PM EST

The Nuggets aren't doing a very good job of convincing Carmelo Anthony that the future is bright in Denver.

They suffered back-to-back embarrassing losses to the Clippers and Kings.

Anthony continued to sit on the bench long after Denver's loss to Sacramento on Thursday, long after his teammates had retreated to the locker room.

"My mind is just..." Anthony told Yahoo! Sports after the game.

Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports writes that Anthony hasn't waived in his desire to be traded and that the Nets have grown confident about their chances to land the forward.

"It is all on Denver. They will trade him or lose him," one Eastern Conference executive said. "There is no gray area."

The Nets don't appear to have much competition because of the assets they can provide.

"Denver seems focused on the Nets," one Western Conference executive said.
