Nuggets and Nets agree to Melo trade (update: false alarm)

Denver gets picks and Favors, and Murphy isn't a scrub.

 

It works for the Nets, for sure. Denver will now need to consider trading Billups (or at least give him the opportunity to speak his mind about where he wants to go with the rest of his career in a rebuilding situation), look 3-5 years down the road, and move on.

 

I think this is a better move by Melo, assuming he does agree to sign the extension. Just makes it easier (even a little bit) on the Nuggets.

I'm sure that the Nets and Nuggets have agreed to a Melo trade, but the real question is whether or not Melo has agreed to the trade. The Nets and Nuggets have probably had this deal on the table for months now (not the exact deal as the Nets will probably be moving the two picks they acquired earlier today, but the framework), but it will never be completed until Melo agrees to sign a long term extension with the Nets.

 

This was basically reported late in the summer. Nothing new has developed here.

The truth = in bold.

 

 

But this is wrong...

... because the Nets are already quite convinced Melo will not leave in the summer to sign with the Knicks for A LOT less when the New Jersey-Brooklyn is not worth relocating to New York at the price of MASSIVE PAYCUT.

 

But, there's no guarantee. It's on the Nets to believe this theory, pull the trigger and take the (smart) risk.
