The New Jersey Nets will play out their remaining tenure in the State of New Jersey at the Prudential Center until their new arena in Brooklyn will open sometime in between 2012-2014. But according to multiple sources, the Nets are in talks on a four team trade that would land them Carmelo Anthony from the Nuggets. The Denver Nuggets would receive Nets top prospect and 3rd overall pick Derrick Favors and Andrei Kirilenko from the Utah Jazz. The Charlotte Bobcats would get PG Devin Harris from the Nets and Boris Diaw would end up in Utah.
This would be very interesting having Ilya Kovalchuk and Carmelo Anthony playing in the same building. However, this trade is contingent upon Anthony signing a contract extension with the Nets. The Knicks and Bulls are his top two choices, but those teams do not have the assets the Nuggets need to pull the trigger. So, if Anthony does not agree to an extension, the Nets will kill this deal.
