The Nyets are now NOT going after Carmelo. Arghghghghghghg........ please just make this all stop. Can't take much more. I now hope he just leaves Denver after the season as a FA, screwing them over in the process. Stupid Thuggets.

Prokhorov ends Nets’ pursuit of Anthony

Nets' stunning move simply reboots speculation on Carmelo's future

Just when I was getting sick of Prokhorov he does this and totally redeems himself. No warning. Just kicks the heel dragging Nuggets in the balls.

That's a good point. There is still hope for the Russian Mark Cuban...

I'm still thinking this was a ploy to get the Nuggets to fold on a smaller deal. Why would he call a press conference to announce this? Seems odd.

Bright side: If Melo goes to NY it increased our AR/lord and savior odds! We're comin!!!!

I don't think it's a ploy. They were supposed to fly to Denver today to talk to Melo about signing an extension with the Nyets, so instead of getting rejected by Melo (I bet he knew he wouldn't sign with them), they called it off instead of wasting more time, energy, and money.

However, if the Nuggets come crawling back to the Nyets before the trade deadline, I wouldn't be surprised if the Nyets listen to Denver's offer. Of course, at that point the Nyets wouldn't have to trade them nearly as much.

So maybe it's a ploy to some extent, but I really think the Nyets are done actively trying to complete a trade for him.

Yeah I wonder if the Nyets are indeed done? I think Melo would have been way worse off going to the Nyets. However, the Nyets are now in a tough position if they dont get Melo. The Nyets could be worse off than us. Avery is bad coach for the Nyets and they just signed a bunch of mediocre players to play for the Nyets. I thought the Nyets would make more nyoise since they are moving to Nyork.

Melo should just stay in Denver. His team aint half bad?

Agreed. This entire saga is so absurd. Melo = Fail.

Melo and his stupid wife = epic fail

I wish him and Lebron would just disappear forever.
