3 Team Deal Picking Up Steam

[VC15]

NJ wanting Det 1st round pick was deal-breaker, so NJ has backed off that. NJ now wants to send TMurphy & JPetro to Det for Rip.

Quoting Chris Brussard

lol a 1st?! That's funny New Jersey...

Denver is stalling for a better offer that will never come. That is the ONLY thing that is holding this deal up.

We can move him for a 2nd. Not that hard haha.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

This won't happen.

I'm sure one of the remaining NBA teams would take him lol.

Yea unless Detroit is going to buy him out lol.

Carmelo is a moron if he wants to play with Billups and Rip. They are both older players who will only be declining and Melo will be the final piece on a depleted Nets team.

Part of me wants that, lol. But logically it just doesnt make any sense.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

if they buy out Billups, i can't envision Melo agreeing to the extension with Jordan Farmar as starting PG... just doesn't make sense -- idk thats just me.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

New Jersey and Detroit expected Denver to sit its players tonight vs. Hornets on cusp of deal, and Denver played them. That halted things.

Just read that gmf. Denver is so dumb for playing them. Just do the trade already, you aren't going to get more than you already will from this deal. NJ is giving them half of their damn team.

Haha.

"We're not in unless we get Johan Petro." -- Joe Dumars, 2002-03 NBA Executive of the Year

Earlier today he said he REALLY didn't want Petro. Now we won't do the deal without him? He must see something in him we don't... Kind of like Darko?

 

[DJT]

So Detroit is just looking to dump a 1st and Rip for Petro and expirings....hmmmm. I wonder who they think they can land. I hope this happens though.

 

[RipCity32]

So is this happening or not? lol

 

[sheed]

We're not giving up a first? NJ wanted it, but we said hell no. We're trying to get a first from NJ along with Murphy and Petro.

 

[sheed]

So is this happening or not? lol

Well, with Denver playing Bills and Melo, it can't be completed until after the Denver game at the earliest. Denver is halting things trying to get more, but they won't get more...

 

[RipCity32]

Still feel like this is going to fall through lol.
