Sources: Nets, Nuggets reach agreement; now it's up to Carmelo Anthony to say yes

[Snowblind]

Can we just use the TPE on Eddy Currys contract to get a first rounder pick from someone?.. please

 

[Rich]

Well, that could be that. Even if the Nuggets want someone to take on the rest of Curry's contract, the Knicks don't have any picks whatsoever to entice another to do that.

The Knicks have none.

Interesting


looks like twitter.com/incarceratedbob has the scoup

Wow. This sounds like James Dolan's doing.

It says to be acquired first rounder. WTF does that even mean?

Is there any way we can take Curry's contract for Denver's first rounders are will they be unwilling to part with them?

 

[Phills14]

Means they will trade Anthony Randolph to Minn for a 1st rounder

that means that they have a taker for Anthony Randolph who's willing to give them a first round pick for him which they'll then use in the Melo deal

i think the minnesota deal is still on so it will be a three team deal with randolph going to the t'wolves for a 1st round pick which will go to denver

If I'm Denver, I do the nets deal and not even think twice about it. But I think the reason why this is turning into such a drama festival is because
A. Nets are offering the best deal
B. Carmelo doesn't want play for the Nets

Otheriwsw, imo, this deal would have been done already. So you can see the conundrum. Donnie doesn't have to sell NYC to Melo, but Prohkorov has to sell BK. And the clock is approaching midnight.

I guess Kevin Durant isn't a superstar or a guy you'd build your team around either.

Durant isn't a superstar. At least not yet.

 

[Zog]

I think that's way too much for the Knicks too give up to. They're giving up their starting PG, SF, PF (Chandler starts at "PF" IIRC) for Carmelo, plus a 1st round pick?

Carmelo + Amare + junk has no chance against Boston or Miami. Probably not against Orlando or Chicago either.

Yes Carmelo is a fringe superstar, but at the same time the players they're giving up are very effective in their system.

He is a superstar already, IMO.

Dont think denver wants to take on curry's salary-saw a tweet which said he would be going to another team-what about us for the to be acquired first rounder?

Almost a given a third team would be involved to absorb Eddy Curry contract and give Denver valuable cap/luxury tax relie
