Nets bringing Sean May to camp
Back in 2005, the Nets held the 15th pick in the NBA Draft and hoped that somehow, Sean May would slip to them. They tried to move, couldn't, then saw the power forward out of North Carolina go to Charlotte at No. 13. The Nets then took Antoine Wright...August 6, 2010

Melo off the market?
Beyond Carmelo Anthony's mansion being up for sale (ESPN.com), there's really no other indication the Nuggets All-Star will be traded. In fact, Anthony himself said at his summer basketball camp, "I've been hearing that for five years. I'm a Denver Nugget. I'm here, I'm with the Nuggets. I don't become a free agent until next year, if I decide not to take that extension." Even ESPN's Marc Stein is now reporting that Anthony "isn't even on the market." We'll see how Anthony's mood changes as it gets closer to the start of training camp at the end of the month. And with that window still open, N...10 hours ago

Getting Melo could mean a Brook-up
... And then there were three? NBA.com is now reporting that the Carmelo Anthony auction is now down to three teams: the Kings, the Timberwolves and -- the Nets. But the Nuggets might be most interested in New Jersey as a trade destination because, as Sam Amico of NBA.com puts it, "It probably will cost Lopez, Harris and others to make salaries work." In other words, the Nets have a very attractive inside-out duo that could help replace a unique multi-position player like Anthony. Nets notes: In between all the Melo trade talk, the Nets could have a future all-around playmaker right under th...10 hours ago

Nets could be in a pickle: Melo or Lopez?
The Nets may be envisioning a future where Carmelo Anthony is Kobe to his Shaq-like (circa 2000-02) sidekick, Brook Lopez -- and that's why Devin Harris could be the headliner in a package deal for the Nuggets superstar (HoopsWorld). Jon Rothstein, talk show host of 1050 ESPN New York, even tweeted: "Hearing from an #NBA league source that the #Nets are not including Brook Lopez in any trade discussions w #Nuggets 4 Carmelo Anthony." There are two possible factors for this: 1) It's unique to have a center like Lopez, who is arguably the East's second-best big man after Dwight Howard; and 2) Ne...10 hours ago

Nets up against "the world" for Melo
The Nets may have to look beyond their roster to pull off a trade for Carmelo Anthony, and by that I mean sweetening a deal by throwing in minority owner Jay-Z, his wife Beyoncé and majority owner Mikhail Prokhorov's $45 million yacht. That's because the Nuggets are now “asking for the world” in trade talks for Anthony (Yahoo! Sports), which you can read into that the Nuggets will want nothing less than Devin Harris and Brook Lopez, plus more. But the team's new GM, Masai Ujiri, is determined to re-sign Anthony, and plans to meet with him very soon (The Denver Post). Nets notes: ...10 hours ago

Nets leading the pack for Melo?
If things shape up in the Nets favor, they could have the perfect marketing campaign fall into their laps. Borrowing a line from minority owner Jay-Z's hit song, "Empire State of Mind," the slogan would read, "In Newark, where dreams are made." That's because the Nets are now a frontrunner in the Carmelo Anthony sweepstakes (Yahoo! Sports). The Nets and Nuggets haven't been active yet in trade discussions, but one league executive said, "It’s almost a given they’re going to move him." Nets notes: Anthony Morrow's short NBA career has moved along rather quickly for an undrafted ro...10 hours ago

Nets Get More in Murphy Deal
As much as the Nets like Courtney Lee, his attitude, professionalism and improving game, this is a deal they had to make. They have been looking for a power forward and got one of the best rebounding power forwards in the game in Troy Murphy. It’s just for one year, gives Derrick Favors some time to develop, gives the Nets a player who can spread the floor, takes some pressure off of Brook Lopez, especially on the boards, and gives them additional flexibility. “It eats into most of the cap space we have this year. We still have roughly 2.5 left,” Nets general manager Billy King said during a...August 11, 2010
