The Bergen County Record reports: After nearly six months of pursuing Carmelo Anthony, the New Jersey Nets finally may have their guy.


The Nets and Denver Nuggets have reached a tentative agreement on a deal involving Anthony, multiple NBA sources told the Bergen Country Record. The deal is pending Anthony agreeing to sign a three-year, $65 million contract extension.

If Anthony rejects the Nets, the Knicks are expected to be the frontrunners to land him. The Nets then would pursue other deals, including one that would send Harris to Portland for Andre Miller, but would involve other players.

Hmm

Ya, but they're spread over like 3-4 years. I don't think it's that big of a deal. Cash could have landed these picks.

and if we trade for harris (with denver) it could be 5

Are you allowed to dress 5 picks for a game?

Is Melo going to play in the AS game for the west? I don't really want Aldridge to get a call to rush down to LA and play as a replacement: rest is worth more.

My guess is he'd still play for the West. It would be a little strange, but he was selected as a Nugget. It's a better solution, IMO, than just adding him to the East squad or saying he now has no spot.

All we need is for Dirk, Blake, Love to be traded east and I think LA has a real shot of making it next year! Who care about 30 plus a game when ya have guys like Yao repping the West! HA!
