To me Melo comes down to three things he wants:

1. He wants max money
2. He wants NY
3. He wants a contender

Over the next week we will see which is most important

If Melo goes to the Nets then he can eat a dick.

Seriously, does anybody think the Nets are any good? I don't think the Nets are a playoff team if they added Carmelo to their current roster, let alone if they dump their entire roster to get him. They lose their picks so they're not getting any better.

maybe a second reason why the nuggets agreed, other than obvious reasons, is that they REALLY wanna pressure the knicks and also have melo look like an asshole to the nets/nuggets by rejecting the highpriced nets offer

Nets-Nuggets reach deal pending Carmelo Approval

The Nets and Nuggets reportedly have reached a tentative agreement on a trade that would send Carmelo Anthony to New Jersey.
The deal is pending Anthony's agreement on a long-term contract extension with the Nets.
The trade would send Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Sheldon Williams, Melvin Ely and Renaldo Balkman to New Jersey, and Devin Harris, Derrick Favors, Troy Murphy, Ben Uzoh and four first-round draft picks to Denver.

Well the good news is if he does decide to go to the Nets then all this melo-watch crap will most likely be over by this weekend/early monday since the nets and nuggets have a pending deal in place already based on melo's decision. So if Melo says yes to the nets than the deal is done.

If nothing is done by monday, then I would say that the Nets are out of it and its most likely between nothing happening or him going to the Knicks. I could be wrong.

The NET are nuts....

I propose we trade Felton, Gallo, Chandler , Fields and a 1st round pick for Carmelo and Billops....

Then Trade Anthony and Billops and Curry for Murphy, Favors, Harris and 4 first rounders....


We would have.....

Harris
Douglas
Favors
Amare...
Mozgov

4 first rounders.

As per usual lately, with every passing minute more rumors or "news" become available. Newsday reporting Melo will not agree to Nets proposal as long as NY is still pursuing him.

Breaking News: According to WFAN 20/20 sports update... Carmelo Anthony has stated and is quoted saying: "I wasn't aware that there is a meeting during the all star break between the nets and myself. That is news to me!"

We can't compete with that offer. If NJ does this deal, they're stupid. Melo's not worth that much. If Melo agrees to the deal, he's stupid. That team would be awful. This would mean Melo is just about the money. So forget him. Let's go after someone who wants to win in NY.

Denver wants Mozgov, Fields, Gallo, Chandler and Felton for Billups and Melo. I'm sorry, Melo's not worth it. We can do better.

Denver Post: Melo's not signing the extension.

With the tentative deal the Nuggs and Nets have, I can't see why Melo would want to go there.

They are going to give up their potential all-star rookie, their once all-star point guard, all of their power forwards, and four draft picks (essentially sacrificing their future), for one player.

ALL OF THIS, with the uncertainty of what the CBA is going to do the cap. They will max out their payroll between resigning Lopez and Melo and have no signficant pieces around them. If the CBA goes hard cap (which i can't see happening; but, it is a possiblity) they may not be able to put any players around him. And no offense, if I'm an elite player, I'm not going to take less money and head NJ to play with Lopez and Melo.

It's just stupid for Melo to go to NJ.

Melo is what -- 28/29 years old? It will take the Nets at least a couple years to build up some pieces around him, and he starting to head out of his prime.

If I were Melo, I would rather resign with Denver than go to the Nets. Right now, the Knicks are still his best option.

If I were Melo I'd force a trade with the Knicks because it's the only chance I have to win a championship.

With LeBron/Wade/Bosh in Miami, Rondo/Pierce/Allen/Garnett in Boston, and Rose/Boozer/Noah in Chicago, Carmelo has to be smart enough to know that the Nets deal would be nowhere near conducive to his future.

If he goes to the Nets he's part of the worst team in the NBA probably.

Melo is 26.

We don't have to compete with The Jersey Boys, really. Their "superior" offer means next to shit. It always has.

These are humans, not machines...so sure, maybe Melo acts like a real punk and bails out to secure a few extra million (maybe), by going to those losers and losing respect of everyone.

I still don't see it.

Still stand by my long standing prediction: Chandler, AR/1st, Walker, Felton-Billups swap, Curry. At the very worst, we sweeten it with Moz.

*felon-billups swap is new news, but it's a basic quid pro quo. I've always disliked Chauncass, tho...

wait a sec...wouldnt the SMART move for melo, if he really wants to come to the knicks, would be to absolutely force a quick deal with the knicks at the last second? that way the knicks could get away with a very lowball offer and carmelo will have more pieces around him?

Yea, for a year. Right up until when we have to let Felton go and renounce Gallo to sign CP3 or D-Will, or Dwight.

The reason why they even turned to the Nets is because the only way we could do that is if he told them straight up im not staying even if you keep me. Then if he does that he's at risk for not having a contract because of the pending lockout. No one knows how long its going to last so thats the problem.
 
Isnt this starting to look like the direct to DVD sequel of the Decision?

If the Mavs come in and Swipe Melo up out of no where it really will be.

this is worse than the decision by lebron

truthfully if you look at it realistically, carmelo has allowed this to be a prime time decision show every day of the seasons since training camp. Personally I find it ridiculous, pre madonna idiot.
