According to sources with the knowledge of the situation, the Denver Nuggets are having serious discussions about a four-way trade that would land Carmelo Anthony with the New Jersey Nets.
Aside from the Denver Nuggets and New Jersey Nets, the other two teams that will be included in this trade would be the Charlotte Bobcats and the Utah Jazz.
The proposed deal would send Nets forward Derrick Favors, Jazz veteran Andrei Kirilenko and multiple first-round picks to Denver, and New Jersey would receive Carmelo Anthony from the Nuggets. New Jersey would also send point guard Devin Harris to Charlotte with Bobcats forward Boris Diaw moving to Utah.
This deal, however, will not go down unless Anthony commits to signing a contract extension. It was reported earlier that Carmelo was uninterested in signing a contract extension, but he may be forced to because his top options, Chicago and New York, will not be able to acquire him through trade.
Another problem that came up is New Jersey would like to get a point guard in return with Devin Harris going to Charlotte in the proposed deal. The Nets want D.J. Augustin, but the Bobcats are reluctant to part with the young point guard.
One source has made it clear, "It either happens by Monday or the deal falls apart."
