Details Emerge as Deal Gets Closer, But A Game of Chicken with Denver
by Net Income on Jan 9, 2011 7:43 PM EST

PrintAl Iannazzone and Adrian Wojnarowski are reporting the basic parameters of the three team deal that could be completed as early as tomorrow. Wojnarowski and Chris Mannix are also reporting that Carmelo Anthony is "on board" with the deal as long as the Nets acquire Richard Hamilton. "Melo will sign with Jersey. Nets are completely convinced of that now," Mannix quotes a league executive as saying.
But as the deal got closer, Fred Kerber reports Denver's front office began to drag its feet, reportedly pushing hard for a third first round pick, something the Nets don't want to give because it would leave them with limited resources to do other deals. While some had thought the final impediment would be Detroit's reluctance to take on Johan Petro, it now appears that Denver wants more. Officials do remain optimistic.
According to Iannazzone and Wojnarowski, the Nets would receive: Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams and Anthony Carter from the Nuggets and Richard Hamilton from the Pistons. In return, the Nets would send Devin Harris, Derrick Favors, Anthony Morrow, Ben Uzoh, Quinton Ross, Stephen Graham and two first round picks to the Nuggets, and Troy Murphy, Johan Petro and possibly a first round pick to the Pistons. Terrico White, originally reported as coming to New Jersey from Detroit, is now out of the trade. The status of DaJuan Summers, also reportedly headed to New Jersey, remains unclear. Meanwhile, Chris Broussard is tweeting that the deal is "on the 10-yard line".
With the player issues now basically worked out, the reporters say the teams are working on the allocation of first round picks. The Nets have six over the next three years, three of their own, plus the Lakers in 2011 (protected 1-18) along with the Warriors in (protected 1-7) and the Rockets (lottery protected) in 2012. The Nuggets are believed to be getting the Nets' 2011 pick and the Warriors' 2012 pick.

Oh Morrow. Fair well.
"No, we have to start getting wins. At the end of the day there isn't any asterisk that said they played hard in this game, it was close here. It's an L or a W. We put ourselves in a position to win and it's time to win those games." - Kris Humphries

josh smith, jeff green, chris paul
guys like this will be on the radar for move #2
imagine something extremely witty here
are u sure?
they have always needed a PG.. Chauncey has 2 years left.. and would be great with Joe Johnson
the only thing certain now re: josh smith
is that atlanta is going to have a tough time affording him with horford and joe smith already locked up. they’ll try to keep him i’m sure, but the new CBA is the big question.
imagine something extremely witty here
Denver is going to stink.

that's good for them though
Imagine
Lawson/Aflalo/X/Favors/Nene
+ our 3 first picks….. + their own…
They get a great deal here and won’t get lebroned
meh, maybe sniff the playoffs this year
stink next year then sign paul and pray for something in 2012
stink next year?
With Melo, Lopez, Hump/Sasha (both resign), Farmar as the starters i can see 7th/8th seed again.

Yeah.
Billups/RIP/MELO/HUMP/LOPEZ with Farmar/Sasha/James/Williams/X player off the bench will def stink in the east… oh wait
Will not stink...
But it will not impress me either since I do believe that’s only a 7th or 8th seed team maybe 6th tops behind Boston, Miami, Orlando, Chicago, Atlanta and New York.

would rather see farmar go adios but sasha can do a lot of what Morrow can do. so it’s fine.

If we didn't renounce the rights to Hayes,
could we have signed him and used him to make salaries match in this trade? Possibly saving us Morrow?
Now when this come trough
we will have some roster spaces

D League players > Simmons, Hassel, Hayes, and Quinn. Boone had a PER of 13.7 last year which was 3rd best on the team behind Harris and Lopez.
Boone was guilty by association
I always liked him, from the UCONN days. he’s not terribly missed, but you can certainly do far worse (PETRO, WHO SHOOTS IT EVERY TIME HE TOUCHES THE BAWL!)
Good trade
I was wondering, Are keeping our 2012 first round pick??? Because I’m pretty sure you can’t trade your picks 2 years in a row….
So Golden state pick+ Our 2011 pick to Denver+ Either Lakers pick or Rockets pick to Denver
and either Lakers or Rockets pick to Detroit…
I am quite surprised to see that we may be keeping our first rounder
that would refute all those that said Denver was just holding out for us to keep losing, thereby making our pick better
Woj says we'd be giving up "two future first round picks."
I suppose “future” could mean this year’s pick, but that is misleading.
yeah...the talks would be pointless if it didn't

I've said this before .....
Imagine this trade gets done “pending ’Melo’s approval” — and he rejects it! The horror. In fact, let’s not think about that scenario.
Not an issue anymore
Melo’s agent is the one who organize this whole Billups and Hamilton thing. No way he does that without Melo’s approval
It is absolutely HILARIOUS
that these freakin’ clowns on ESPN1050 are talking about Melo to the Knicks. Do they realize what’s happening?
Official Member of the "MAKE CARMELO A NET" Movement
They are still
Telling him to come to the Knicks to get them over the hump. Its funny
Help! I'm a Nets fan :(
All we needed was a Machine!
"get them over the hump"
That is my point…with the exception of their recent win against the Spurs, the Knicks don’t fare well against top level teams because I believed they are flawed…just like the Nets team will be flawed with Melo as the only star. If this trade goes down the Nets will become the new Knicks which of course for most of you guys is good enough…then again the oportunity to get a talented player like Melo is rare…I just wish we could keep Favors and our picks.

getting melo is not the last step
it is the first step…
or at least that’s what I think it is
Broutard still saying Knicks have to do whatever it takes to get Melo. He’s just not up to date with his reporting.

i believe he will
I don’t see him complaining out loud…he is a professional like u guys say…but his heart won’t be there…similiar to Harris situation…he’s been playing all this time knowing his name is on trade talks since before the season began but he still managed to be the best player on this team…as soon as he gets the chance(buy out or end of season or his contract) I see Billups going back to Denver as his family.

how many picks do we have left after the trade
in 2011 and 2012??
"...but i never sat back feeling sorry for myself, if you don't give me heaven I'll raise hell..."
ok as of right now
how many do we have -2 for denver
"...but i never sat back feeling sorry for myself, if you don't give me heaven I'll raise hell..."
looks like 2 first rounders will be enough
for Denver. There still may be some swapping of picks, which sounds like the only thing holding this up right now.
that's what I thought. SO at least we know for a fact we're keeping that one
2012 is gonna be a good class too!
nets have...
NJ ‘11, LA ’11, NJ ’12, GS ’12, Hous ’12 over the next two years…plus few 2nd rounders. Number of picks depend on Detroit, but looks like we’d still have a few picks left AFTER the deal no matter what.
Will be crucial for future deals, and Nets from the beginning made it a point to not just give away 4 or 5 like Den originially wanted.
so the first 5 u mentioned
are all 1st rounders? and this is minus the picks denver wants?
"...but i never sat back feeling sorry for myself, if you don't give me heaven I'll raise hell..."

imagine something extremely witty here
The Twill trade is making it easier for Billy to make this trade
Those two picks are VERY handy. Plus add in sasha. I love Twill but if that trade lands us melo then IDC!

trade deadline...
trade deadline is around the corner…some guys may hit the waiver in the next few weeks. We WILL be thin up front though, but Anothony, Outlaw, and James can all play PF in a small lineup. I’m sure we’ll add at least one more big soon after the trade goes through.

Props to NI..
Its not done yet, but NI said very definitively that Melo would be a Net the day T-Will was traded.
If this trade goes through, the Nets need a big man
Best available free agent is Mikki Moore. Could be worse, but he’s better than Shelden Willaims as backup C.
Earl Barron is also available. As is Steven Hunter. Courtney Sims of the D-League could provide depth.
The Nets still have 2nd Round Picks to swing deals for a backup C.
i think he wiill he is too classy to not play
that would be mean thought

exact picks that will be included haven’t been finalized, but it looks like we WILL have 1st rounders left for each draft in the next 3 years no matter what.
If Melo wants to play with RIP then him and Billups must have talked about this. You think Billups when asked by the media about being traded is gonna say yeah I want to get out of here… No he is a true professional and is making sure he stays loyal to Denver while in his head is looking forward to playing for a playoff team!

Billups and Hamilton are obviously friends from their denver days. There had to be some inside conversations going on between the three about playing together. Im sure thats why the agent got involved because they probably went to him and said get us hamilton to come and were in. It makes to much sense

Losing to Detroit in 2003-2004 was one of, if not the most disappointing loss for me as a fan. GOing to be a little strange having Billups and Hamilton here.
We won that game actually.
Ended up losing the series, though.

Yeas that 3 OT game was awesome...
Half the players were fouled out and RJ played like 55 minutes. He was dragging himself up and down the court. Huge Veal three to win it. I almost bought 350 dollar tickets to the next game but bailed out at last minute. Glad I didnt spend 700 to see them lose.

That game 7 loss was probably the toughest loss I remember
We just totally folded. I’ve never disliked those guys though, true professionals.
Yeah, I respect Billups
even if I’ve cursed his name in years past. But I really can’t stand Rip Hamilton. He comes off as a spoiled, arrogant tool to me. But I’ll sure as hell root for him to drain jumpers if he becomes a Net.
I love Rip
I’m considering getting a Hamilton jersey if this goes through, I’ll need a new one with Harris gone.

Deal needs to happen within next 24 hrs or wait till a later date. Nets need to have players for Wednesday’s game.
Thats too funny
they’re trading half pf their team.
For perspective, here are some comments from Knicks blogs...
“I really think that Melo will be making a mistake if he agrees to sign with the Nets. A lineup of Billups, Hamilton, Melo, Humphries, and Lopez really isn’t very good. Their backcourt is old and declining, and their frontcourt is soft defensively. It also uses up all of their cap space for next year, so they won’t be able to improve the roster. Considering that Billups and Hamilton are only going to continue to decline, I don’t see how the Nets would compete for a championship in the next two years. The Nets would also have zero assets which they could use to improve the roster. Is the plan waiting 2 years for Paul of D-Will? I thought that the whole reason Melo wants to be traded is because he wants to win now.”
“So, the Nets expect to contend with a declining Rip, Melo, Lopez, Anthony Carter, Jordan Farmar, Kris Humphries, and a PG they can get to replace Billups, assuming Billups does leave?”"
Official Member of The Ancient Mystic Society of No Melo
screw knicks fans
they don’t know what we’ve gone through
They're completely right.
Billups and Hamilton 6 years ago, awesome. This year… meh. And yes I know Billups was player of the week. And the PF and C spots are very very very important. More important than we’re making it out to be. And there are NO good PF’s or C’s in this year’s free agency.

Courtney Sims, Josh Boone, Earl Barron, Steven Hunter, Mikki Moore. Any of those guys can do just as good, if not better, than Petro. Shelden Williams can play center as well.
he is 35 apparently
realistically, probably not a good idea. i had no idea he was that old. at least he got that one big payday.

Too bad its not a direct translation. Its a TEAM game! Which is why Miami is finally winning, because they don’t stand around and watch Lebron play anymore. Time to see what we can do with a rather nice starting 5.

I’m going to be a bigger Denver fan than a NJ fan after this. – especially after knucklheads K-Mart and JR Smith go. Free Agency and nice picks!
Harris – Lawson
Afflalo – Morrow
Forbes
Favors
Nene – Birdman
Ha, enjoy the losing!

the issue is that...
Denver probably sent the Nets away to get a 3rd team to get the deal to work money wise. Nets do it and replace Murphy’s expiring with Harris + Morrow! Denver comes back and now like…thanks…can we have an extra pick too. It’s kind of ridiculous.
Billups
Why wouldn’t he wanna come here and play with Melo and RIP?
Billups refuses to play here. Will demand a buyout if traded.
This trade sucks.
I’m seriously just about done with this team. I don’t give a damn about press conferences or players wives or the Knicks. I just want to see the Nets hang some banners up. This trade does nothing except drive us right into mediocrity for the next five years, at least.
Oh well, PR and jersey sales will make up for all of that. Right, Prokhy?

Well, nothing is happening 2nite considering
The Nuggets game is about to start and King mentioned some time ago (in Sept., during the last round of Carmelo rumors) that he always turns his phone off at 11pm.
EVERYONE HAS TO CHILL EVEN IF IT FALLS APART
Denver wanted 5 1st round picks.. now they want 3.
if they really drag their feet now.. the price goes down and they know it
Carmelo hasnt gone public yet and can easily do that which REALLY forces their hand
There is a month to the trade deadline
the lack of a deal is killing Denver and things are getting worse there by the day
There is no better deal out there. Denver knows it. It is two young idiots trying to be tough.. in the end they will crumble..
Melo is coming.
the difference...
is that they are saving a lot more money then the deal with Murphy to Denver. Now there’s no excuse Harris + Favors + Morrow + 2 firsts > Murphy + Favors + 3 or 4 firsts
Sorry. There's already a line at the bridge.

From September, the delay was never about Anthony’s approval, just Denver dragging its feet. King tried to give Ujiri an ultimatum in Sept.
and...
Denver doesn’t want to get bullied into deal — whether by Nets or by Anthony’s people — and understand longer they wait, better the pick.

Sorry if already posted, but this is from Kerber's article
Well, this could ruin everyone’s day.
According to a high level source with knowledge of the talks — one who believes the trade will go through — the Nuggets are dragging their feet at the last hour.
“We do not have a deal,” the source said. “An hour ago, I thought it was done.”
But that doesn’t mean the deal still won’t go through. Every other indication says yes.

You would think with a rich owner that we could buy some 2nd rd picks and if need be trade up into the 1st rd. Look at how many steals come from the mid to late 1st rd of the draft. If that 3rd pick is gonna seal the deal then just do it.

Is this just a dream?
Wow! I think this is all an April Fools Joke! I will wake up in the morning and Denver will pull the deal off the table again. Or the Nets have to wait b/c they don’t have enough players and someone else will swoop in and offer a better deal. It just feels like it never will happen!
And finally, David Stern should fine, fire, or replace these jokers in Denver if they pull out once again. They are horrible and Stern should step in and make them make the move now! Sorry, Denver, Feb 24 is for honest franchises. You have 24 hours and then Melo cannot be traded.
Oh please.
You’re actually suggesting that Denver has done something wrong here?
Give me a break, man.
Why on Earth would David Stern do that? The only reason the Nets are in this predicament is because they put themselves there!
Ujiri would be a bad GM if he took this deal thinking he could have gotten more. If he really believes that, then he has to try. It’s his job to make the Nuggets as competitive as possible, both now and in the future. If that means taking a team or two to the cleaners in the process, then so be it. That’s what this league is built on. General managers trying to make the best deals possible for their teams.
To star whining and crying for Stern-Bot intervention at this point is sad.

I don’t have a big problem with this. 2012-2013 is the crucial offseason. I understand Billups wanting to make sure he has the money before the CBA stuff.
That's smart because NJ would be over the cap anyways and it would a lot more than anything else CB would make in the new CBA.
Although I can’t see how NJ can tell Billups that they’ll give him it for sure considering they could always say that and then buy him out anyways, he would have to trust them.

I love the guy, he’s gotta stay. Unless of course we pick up David West :) but even then, bring Hump off the bench and thats a sick team….

I heard news on ESPN this afternoon. I am not too happy, but Woj just said Nets would agree to pay Billups his 14.2 million next year.
That makes me feel a little better. It means Billups would be expiring when Nets go after CP3 next February.
King should have been working 2 deals with Nuggets at same time. The other a 2 team deal just to keep Pistons honest.
First I hear that King wants Piston’s 1st round pick. Then they totally drop the idea.
Now Pistons want a pick? Give me a break. That is terrible negotiating.
Now I hear Nuggets want a 3rd pick? Nuggets have been unprofessional from the beginning with Ujiri and Owner with separate goals.
And who is supposed to become the Nets backup Center ? Sheldon Williams? Hump?
Avery must have demanded to get rid of Petro. What a Mistake. I bet he doesn’t listen to Avery and refuses to give it 100%.
I was thinking that Nets would give Nuggets the Detroit 1st round pick, in lieu of the Nets 1st round pick...
just so Nuggets would have no reason to delay. And maybe Detroit get a different pick.
Now I hear that Pistons refuse to give any pick, but want one instead??
Nets need more leverage. I hope there is a backup alternative with Nuggets, that we don't know about?
It seems Melo will sign one only if Hamilton is included. That is also bad negotiating because it give Pistons too much control and it now is hurting Nets picks.
