Apparently, it's done. This is a DEN news affiliate: http://twitter.com/DenverChannel

The Denver Nuggets and New Jersey Nets come to terms to trade Carmelo Anthony to the Nets...

Knick fans are jumping into the East River in hopes of resurfacing in Brooklyn as we speak.

Our chances of making the playoffs just increased ever so slightly.

NY radio guy says that no extension has been agreed upon and Favors was a main piece in the deal. Bold move by Prokhorov.

Didn't Melo say he wouldn't sign with anyone but NY?

Camelo Anthony will need to commit to a long term contract with the Nets before the deal is done...full report in 2 mins on channel 7.

Didn't Melo say he wouldn't sign with anyone but NY?

sources said that...not true tho

The Nets have received assurances from several people from Anthony's camp that he would sign an extension with the club.

The framework of the three-team trade came together on Tuesday, just two days after word leaked that Anthony would only sign an extension with New York.

According to a Yahoo! report, the Nets are confident owner Mikhail Prokhorov and Avery Johnson can convince Anthony to commit to the Nets in the long-term

I'm surprised they made this trade a couple days after he said he would only resign with the Knicks.

Woj drops a bomb on twitter:

Any report Denver and New Jersey have an agreement for a Melo deal is "completely and utterly false" one high-ranking team executive texts Y!

Interesting...

Favors is going to be the real deal. I don't think the Nuggets are getting screwed like others might think.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Favors is going to be a monster. If it's not done, I hope Cho is working on getting ahold of Favors for himself.

There's a better chance McMillan creates a new flowing offense than Cho pulling that off.

Really? Isn't Mello considered a top 10-15 player in the game? You think Favors will become THAT???

I think we're gonna stay at status quo... err status Cho.

That's gonna be my name for him from now.

 

[RoyToy]

I like it. I could see it catching on.

I don't think he's going to be that good (is possible though). But, all things considered they aren't getting screwed.

I'm laughing and crying at that post. That's how you know it was a quality post

Better than Melo leaving them with nothing.

Good point

Denver is trading 5 months of Anthony for 5 years or so of Favors and Favors will cost far less over those five years.

Considering that Denver knows they can't keep Anthony, and everyone else knows it, I think Favors is a very good return. He gives them a chance of a future star, locked in for four-plus seasons.

Yes Capt. "I'm Not a Mod Anymore".....as you can see above I acknowledged this.

I wasn't just saying it's better than him leaving for nothing...I was noting the value of how many years of team control Favors represents and the low cost of those years. Both factors have value, if Favors plays well.

Hopefully he goes to the Nets although it doesn't really matter. Stars have career highs against the Knicks, they're simply not constructed right.

They play D'Antoni ball. Defense is non-existant.

They've also won 8 straight.

Regardless of my feelings toward the Thuggets, as a part-time Mile High resident, I hate what La La is doing regarding Melo. She's the Yoko Ono of the NBA. There are a lot of fans here who love Carmelo and he's treating them like dirt.

That style of play is fun, but won't get you far in the playoffs. Then again, Nate style is boring as fuck, and it won't get you very far in the playoffs either? I'd rather have the entertaining brand of losing basketball personally.

 

[MickZagger]

They are playing nicely. They've also had the easiest schedule in the NBA thus far.
