Less than a month after the New Jersey Nets pulled out of trade talks, the Denver Nuggets have re-engaged the Nets in discussions on a blockbuster deal for Carmelo Anthony(notes), league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

One source described talks as “progressing” and said they have been ongoing between Denver and New Jersey officials over a week. While the precise package being discussed was unclear, sources said talks have centered on a scaled-down package that still includes rookie forward Derrick Favors(notes) and draft picks

More From Adrian WojnarowskiAnthony distances himself from Nuggets Feb 16, 2011 Silas to receive extension from Bobcats Feb 15, 2011 .

What also is unknown is whether Anthony has agreed to accept a three-year, $65 million extension with New Jersey if the Nuggets and Nets work out an agreement.


The New York Knicks have been firmly engaged in talks with Denver, but haven’t come close to an agreement on a package of players and picks for Anthony. Anthony has expressed his preference to play for New York, but also is determined to get a deal done before the Feb. 24 trade deadline to ensure the contract extension.

I said this all along. He's coming to NJ Nets, Knicks.. The Nets have the best offer on the table with draft picks and Derrick Favors. Only way i see Carmelo goes to Knicks is when Dolan hits the panic button realizing he's about to lose Carmelo to the Nets so he forces Walsh to trade half the roster for Billups, Carmelo and Harrington..

I was just telling my friends this afternoon I thought the Nets were going to come back to the table.

Why? Proko is desperate and the Nuggets are desperate.

They are the two most desperate kids on the dance floor. They might dance just because no one else will be their date.

I don't think Melo signs with New Jersey, but I think New Jersey is so desperate and Proko so arrogant that they will do a trade without the extension, hoping they can convince him.

Why do I think Proko is arrogant? The "Blue Print" billboard that amounted to a fart in the wind and grandstanding live on TV about the Melo trade when everyone knew the Nets would come crawling back.

I think the most likely scenario is Melo traded to the Nets and still leaves for the Knicks in the summer. Second most likely is Melo doesn't get traded and leaves for the Knicks in the summer. Third most likely Dolan forces Donnie to gut the roster for a guy who is coming here anyway.

NJ isn't getting Melo... he's not going to sign an extension w/them... this is just media leaks from DEN trying to get the Knicks to panic.

i'm telling you - if he gets traded to the nets, he won't sign there. watch it play out.

i think he will get traded to the nets... and not sign.

No Need to panic unless we find out from Melo's people that he'll sign with the Nets over having a chance to play with us, which I don't see happening. If Melo wants the Knicks and we have a package to offer, why in the world would he just accept a deal to play with the Nets? I just can't see him doing that, being this close to getting everything he wants. He can get his money and still play with his buddy Amar'e in MSG. I'm not buying it.

All well and good. Donnie should tell them to take a flying leap. Publically. Good luck getting value.

exactly... unless Melo's had a change of heart he's pretty much made it clear he has no interest in signing an extension w/the Nets... IMO these are just rumors being floated around by Denver to try & get the Knicks to panic... why would Prokhorov want to get back into these discussions & risk further embarassment & distractions for his franchise & players after they end up missing out on Melo again?

There've been what, 3 deals agreed on already between Denver/NJ? I'll believe it when it happens.

There is no way the Nes trade for him without him signing. That would be heartbreakingly retarded. This is a leverage move by Denver. Melo will be a Knick just in time for Heat Knicks next Sunday.

Prokhorov would dangle Melo from a helicopter by the ankles until he signed.

Favors is playing better with minutes and at times has given glimpses of what he could be in the future. I don't think if you are nj you consider dealing for Melo without a commitment. I don't know what type of leadership qualities Melo has. If he is like Amare he might transform that team with his presence. If he is the second coming of Vince Carter then they stay in the background with less cap space and less first round picks.

Right..He didn't even accept the opportunity to meet face to face with Prokhorov, something his team gave him permission to do..I'm not buying this either..I don't think he wants to go there. These two teams have a acceptable deal for both parties that was ironed out on paper & fleshed out over a month ago -- it's Melo that's refusing to comply here..
