I'm not so sure Carmelo Anthony is looking forward to joining the New Jersey Nets, because his reluctance to sign a contract extension appears to be the only thing holding up a potential trade.
Many league sources have confirmed a proposed four-team deal is close to completion, and even though there are numerous players involved, the principal players seem to be Anthony and Nets' rookie forward Derrick Favors.
The Nuggets would receive Favors in exchange for Anthony, and the Nets would also lose point guard Devin Harris to the Charlotte Bobcats.
If I were Anthony, I would probably be hesitant to sign as well, because this can't be the way he envisioned the scenario playing out when he let the Nuggets know that he would not be signing a long-term contract.
Most observers assumed Denver would attempt to work out a trade that sent Anthony to a team of his choice, but few people expected the Nuggets to exact a measure of revenge while seeking out deals.
Anthony's main choices appeared to be New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, and any one of those teams would hold better prospects than the swamps of New Jersey.
