SHOWTIME SAYS…

Sources say a three team deal is in the works that will send the Denver Nuggets Carmelo Anthony to the Eastern Conference’s New Jersey Nets. The deal which will include at least 15 players will see Rip Hamilton and Chauncey Billups heading to New Jersey with Melo. The deal is currently shaping up, and would be completed this week if all goes according to plan.

The Nets will acquire Anthony, Billups and Hamilton; Denver will pick up Devin Harris, Derrick Favors, Anthony Morrow and at least two first-round picks; and Detroit will acquire Troy Murphy and Johan Petro.

The teams are still working out details of the trade.  One of which being a contract extension that New Jersey is requiring Carmelo to sign before the deal goes through.
