Here are the best quotes from the article, which is mostly about the Knicks backup plan of going after Iggy if they don't get Melo, but these quotes are pretty telling of where the situation stands right now. "The Nets have several potential trades for Anthony on the table and are merely waiting for Denver to choose one, according to sources. That doesn't mean a deal could be completed immediately; just that the Nets would then begin getting agreements from the various parties involved." "The Nets have trade scenarios based on two-team deals between them and the Nuggets, as well as three- and four-team deals on the table." I really don't know what more Ujiri would be waiting for, unless he needs the Russian Billionaire to convince Melo to go to N.J. Hopefully whatever it is it ends soon because I'm starting to think if we continue to let this play out, some of the better deals might not be available anymore and I don't want our new regim to rub people the wrong way like they did earlier in the season.

Oof.

What Thugs

For my latest SB Nation Denver column, I lament that Denver's two 26 year old sports superstars don't have more in common.

This wild trade effectively sends Vince Carter, Pietrus, Gortat, and a 2011 first round pick to Phoenix for Jason Richardson, Earl Clark and returns Hedo Turkoglu back to Orlando. Also, The Magic have traded Rashard Lewis to the Wizards in exchange for Gilbert Arenas,

Surprise Melo!!!

I'm scheduled to appear TODAY with Scott Hastings on FM104.3 at 1:20pm, with Renaud Notaro and Karl Hungus on FM93.7 at 2:20pm and with Len Williams on AM1300 in Colorado Springs at 5pm.

So your height doesn't affect you with the women? What is this Kazakhstan?!?
