Mr Billups wants to be a Nugget for life....I say we let him!

Steve Kyler over at Hoops World has a nice summary of where things stand and what we can possibly expect. This covers a lot of the he said she said type of questions that we all have re: why the 4-way deal fell apart.

The Nets are continuing to push for a deal to land Carmelo Anthony.

Utah's GM reports that if the deal were to go down, it would have already. Melo to remain a Denver Nugget?

If you're anything like me, watching Carmelo Anthony's media day press conference was anything but reassuring. His body language is awkward and he has clearly been coached on what to say and what not to say. This gives me no comfort whatsoever that #15 intends to stay in Denver.

Sounds like things are heating up a bit with the Melo trade talks. Also from what I've heard sounds like Bearup is very high on Favors and is looking for NJ to take on more bad contracts the Nuggets have.

This tweet, courtesy of Nuggets guard J.R. Smith, comes complete with a nice photo of Carmelo Anthony talking to the Nuggets equipment manager in front of his locker. No clue what this actually means but it's nice to see J.R. in such a great mood. Stay tuned...

Carmelo Anthony is expected to be dealt within the next 48 hours.

Could this get any more ridiculous? Get it done, folks. Can't wait to see Favors!
