One front office executive says Melo is "on board" with signing w/ NJ if Nets get Detroit part done. "He wants to play with Rip" source says

 

[bosoxlover12]

I've heard many rumors tht Billups will not stay in NJ; wants buyout
that might be to return to Denver, or....

to Miami.

God not Miami. a lineup of Haslem-Bosh-James-Wade-Billups is freaking me out

Already discussed a few pages back.

Billups stands to lose a LOT of money if he doesn't report.

Chris_Broussard: League exec just said Den-Det-NJ deal is "at the 10-yard line".

 

[elcheato]

And what if Billups doesn't care because he's made probably near 100 million in his career?

I'd do it. As long as it was a 1st.

League exec just said Den-Det-NJ deal is "at the 10-yard line".

If the news is true about Carmelo saying he will sign with NJ because he wants to play with Rip, that gives Joe D. all sorts of leverage.

Seriously, if Rip is the holdup to the whole deal and the Nets want to get it done, Joe has the Nets right where he wants them.

Exec involved in talks: "Melo will sign with Jersey. Nets are completely convinced of that now.

 

[RipCity32]

What else could he possibly get from them?
I want Harris though lol.

 

[Elite]

Lmao at Joe Dumars actually looking like a genius at the moment.

 

[RipCity32]

Dumars really does have a shit load of leverage right now.

 

[elcheato]

It's not really him looking like a genius, its just whoever leaked the info that Melo want's to play with Rip that badly is screwing the Nets and Nuggets over

 

[sheed]

Also, Nets guard Anthony Morrow is in package to Denver, sources say.

Deal needs to happen within next 24 hrs or wait till a later date. Nets need to have players for Wednesday's game.

Al Iannazone: Deal needs to happen within next 24 hrs or wait till a later date. Nets need to have players for Wednesday’s game.

 

[RipCity32]

Hopefully in the next 24 hrs lol. I'm sick of waiting.

 

[MR.ballin]

I guess big bid ness can have hope in the Pistons again.

 

[Elite]

Same. This has been going on too long. I just hope this doesn't turn around like the Melo deal with the Bobcats involved before the beginning of the year that was treated as a done deal and then fall apart at the last second.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Paging D-League, Paging Rucker Park.

 

[VC15]

Al Iannazone: Snag seems to be Johan Petro and his $3.25 million contract NJ, Det and Den need a 4th team willing to take Petro, deal could drop quickly

 

[RipCity32]

I have a tiny part of me that thinks this whole thing is going to fall apart because of Petro lol.
