Unbottle your mind for a second and try to grasp the idea that none of us has any idea what Carmelo wants or is willing to do. To say that he wants an extension "at any cost" is simply unfounded. If that were the case, Denver wouldn't be in trade negotiations at all. They'd simply re-sign him.

^Not saying I don't believe that they want a deal with the Nyets, they probably prefer it and always have, but these leaks are strategic. It's not reporting of facts and just the facts ma'am. It's all about the Nets trying to orchestrate this so Melo comes. It's not information that's just getting out there -- it's public relations and an attempt to manipulate the story and Melo into giving in.
That much is obvious to me now.
It's so strategic that the offer matches up almost 1 to 1 with what the Nuggets reportedly want from the Knicks.
Harris = Felton
Murphy (traded for TPE) = Curry
Favors = Gallo/Chandler
Uzoh = Fields/Mozgov
1st rounders = 1st rounders
Woj reported last night than 1/2 of the 4 1st rounders were going to the team that would take Murphy's deal. It's almost an exact match. Granted the Knicks players are better than the Nets players, but the offer is identical. It lines up too perfectly for it not to be manufactured. -Jitpal

Uzoh = Fields/Mozgov? Are you nuts, have you seen Uzoh play? This guy hardly belongs in the league, he wouldn't be in the league if it wasn't for the Nets.

Are the Nets a championship contender? probably not, but they are now on the same level as the Knicks are..
and yes I buy this report and yes if Melo wants the money he will sign..
also he has never said he wouldnt sign in nj

what's funny about this guy is, he printed a big article about how the nets had not come back into the melo drama the day before someone else said they had been talking for a week with denver. now he wants to pretend that he's tuned into the situation.

It actually does make sense for them. Those picks are not as good as people seem to believe (one of the 1sts is a Laker first, no need to say more, another is a protected Warrior 1st that can turn into a 2nd rounder). Favors hasn't looked like a world beater by any means. And, as I mentioned before, Murphy is basically Eddy Curry withs maller breasts. Harris is no better than Felton. The Nets are struggling to get fans to come into the arena even when the tickets are a quarter. They NEED someone like Melo to make money. This deal makes a lot of sense for them. I'd do it too if I were Prokhorov IF Melo is willing to resign.
The "idiot" would be Melo if he actually is willing to resign.
