Should have stayed in Denver this season. Would have saw 60+ mil contract even with the CBA.

Bad move IMO.

NBA source: Carmelo Anthony has signed off on trade to New Jersey Nets in proposed four-team deal

The Nets talked big and hung up a big, boastful billboard above the Garden. That didn't work.

But now, without the hype and unpredictability of free agency, they are on the verge of changing the whole basketball landscape.

According to multiple sources with knowledge of a proposed four-team blockbuster, the Nets are negotiating a deal that would bring them Carmelo Anthony from Denver in exchange for Devin Harris, first-round pick Derrick Favors plus draft picks.

There are some small details that could derail the deal, but Anthony has already signed off on the deal, according to an NBA source, and it could happen as early as Saturday. Anthony's approval was pivotal in the deal because the Nets wouldn't have agreed to it for a one-year rental.

On the day both the Knicks and Nets held their media days, it was the area's wannabe star franchise that was making by far the bigger headlines. Two years before its scheduled move to Brooklyn, general manager Billy King appears determined to one-up his counterpart in Manhattan.

The proposed deal - which would also involve the Jazz and Bobcats - would have Favors going back to Denver, along with Utah's Andrei Kirilenko and multiple draft picks from the Nets and Warriors (the Nets hold Golden State's first-round pick in 2012).

Harris would be sent to Charlotte, while Boris Diaw would be shipped from Charlotte to Utah. Other role players are being discussed as part of the complex trade.

According to a source, the Nuggets will make a final effort this weekend to convince Anthony to return after his contract expires next summer. But after Anthony refused to sign a three-year extension that's been on the table since June - and after he turned down an opportunity this month to express any loyalty to the Nuggets in an interview with the News - it's unlikely the three-time All-Star will change his mind.

Anthony has approved the deal, according to an NBA source, which is important because it's contingent on him signing an extension with the Nets.

If the Nuggets fail to successfully woo Anthony, as expected, a deal should materialize quickly. The longer they keep Anthony around, the longer he becomes a distraction and his trade value dips. The Nuggets would rather trade him than end up with nothing. It's a harsh lesson already learned by the Cavaliers, who lost LeBron James for nothing to Miami when he shunned Cleveland, the Knicks, the Nets and a host of other suitors.

The Nets must also worry about teams swooping in with 11th-hour offers. Chicago, a preferred destination for Anthony, could reportedly change everything by offering Joakim Noah to Denver.

I hope this is true. Nets won't be much better then they are now and the Knicks can continue with the roster that they have and win.
