Nets resume talks for Anthony
Less than a month after the New Jersey Nets pulled out of trade talks, the Denver Nuggets have re-engaged the Nets in discussions on a blockbuster deal for Carmelo Anthony(notes), league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
One source described talks as ?progressing? and said they have been ongoing between Denver and New Jersey officials over a week. While the precise package being discussed was unclear, sources said talks have centered on a scaled-down package that still includes rookie forward Derrick Favors(notes) and draft picks
What also is unknown is whether Anthony has agreed to accept a three-year, $65 million extension with New Jersey if the Nuggets and Nets work out an agreement.
The New York Knicks have been firmly engaged in talks with Denver, but haven?t come close to an agreement on a package of players and picks for Anthony. Anthony has expressed his preference to play for New York, but also is determined to get a deal done before the Feb. 24 trade deadline to ensure the contract extension.

Looks like Prokhorov knew what he was doing. Keep his team focused until Denver came back begging.
I think what this really boils down to is if 'Melo is really willing to sign the extension with the Nets, which is a chance that I am NOT willing to take.
We need to make this deal NOW, we can't get snubbed out on getting another superstar like we did back in the 'Summer of LeBron.'
GET. MELO. NOW.
