New Jersey pulling hard for Melo in 3 team trade

New Jersey-Detroit-Denver

Chris_Broussard

League exec just said Den-Det-NJ deal is "at the 10-yard line".

In the red zone

Holdup to NJ-Den-Det trade is that Den wants NJ to take Al Harrington. NJ doesn't want to b/c Al has 4 yrs, $28 mill left on deal.

NJ could try to recruit s 4th team to take Harrington, but their hope is that Den eliminates Harrington request.

NJ will give Detroit a draft pick for taking Petro, not determined whether 1st or 2nd rounder yet.

Chauncey's hesitation to go to NJ not a factor. Billups will get full $14 mill next season from NJ. That was his main concern.

Would love to get involved and make a move to solidify a playoff spot for us.. Harrington? or Harris? or an extra 1st rounder?

im sure we will be dealing at the trade deadline, but dont know if this is the deal to get involved in.. but i just want to see some improvement.. Kwame will only hold up for so long and Nazr aint gunna be around forever..

If this goes down, it is not good news for the Bobcats playoff hopes. Even with our horrible start, we are only a half game out of 8th place and one game out of 7th place. NJ is well below us now but a trio of Billups, Anthony and Lopez will probably boost them into a playoff contender and we don't need any more teams in the east improving.

A deal at the 10 yard line for the 100th time since last summer.

A deal at the 10 yard line for the 100th time since last summer.

In Panthers country, a deal at the ten yard line could still mean failure.

yeah this is jimmy clausen at the 10 at this point. I'm disregarding this information until i see jeff king slide out of a block and appear wide open.

Melo will be a Knick no matter what. NJ had no chance; Melo was just stringing them along. He's set on being a Knick. Eventually, Chris Paul is going to follow him to NY, as well.
