Source with knowledge of CAA plans says the top priority is to get Melo what he wants: NYK WITH extension. But if can't, Nets are Plan 1b.

Of course they are going to say that. They are taking a lot of bad press recently. Everyone can see through them though, they want him in NJ.

i was wondering, if the DEN plan was to have favors + batum, cant we trade for batum (via chandler), give them AR, and take of harrington from their books? i know the talent drop of is there between the 2 pf, but it evens out the risk of losing him nothing in the summer and it helps them clear around 18 mill from harringtons deal

I am so tired of this ****.

Though I get the feeling that CAA is just trying to save face here.

I think that's what Donnie is trying to figure out. He knows what he is willing to give up but it doesn't mean that's what he has to send to Denver. That's why the OJ Mayo report surfaced, he is asking around to figure out if he can obtain a top young player that Denver would like better using the assets he was willing to lose in a Denver trade.

Agreed. This comes out the day AFTER Woj's damning article? And with them looking like they're looking out for Melo's interests, and not their own?

A lot of these twits are just common sense. Knowing what you know already. Just change the words around and keep people interested in you. Im waiting for one of these reporters to make a bar graph or pie chart type melo interest watch. Maybe a extension meter.

That doesn't mean Knicks are ahead of the game. Major hangup is making deal with Denver. That's why Nets are strong candidates. 3 minutes ago via ÜberTwitter

If the Knicks are Plan 1A, why have they not even been given a shot to engage with Denver in trade talks? This whole thing is wacky.

Yup. Agents strong arm teams all the time to at least engage and get a deal done. Clearly that has not been the case here, where Donnie can't even get a return call to figure out what Denver wants. The agents could easily rectify that situation and, at least, get the two teams talking and negotiating. This is all pure bs by CAA, they want him in NJ.

I thought of what Hahn re-Tweeted just now -- Melo could sign and then demand a trade when they suck next season.

Course, they'll just deal him somewhere else he doesn't want to be.

Hopefully Melo understands that he's getting the short end of the stick here. He has to settle for NJ while LeBitch and his posse get to compete for championships down in South Beach? Who's looking out for Melo's interests?

[stuporman]

Forcing Melo to go to NJ is plan 1a.... appearing like they give a dam what he wants is plan 1b....

[K_ick_God]

A picture is worth a thousand words when it comes to the Nets' blueprint for surrounding Melo with greatness ...
