How uncomfortable must it be for Devin Harris and Derrick Favors to be starting practices with the NJ Nets knowing that the team is hoping to trade you for a shot at Carmelo Anthony….
Billy King has reached the point we all were waiting for him to with the Carmelo Anthony situating dragging on as long as it has.
A Nets source said there will be a conclusion to the matter within the next 24 hours. The Nets want to know if the Nuggets are going to move on trading Anthony or keep everyone hanging. If so, King is going to remove the Nets from the talks.
The reasoning is the Nets don’t want this to linger any longer. As much as the players involved – starting point guard Devin Harris and rookie power forward Derrick Favors – say it’s not bothering them it’s cast a cloud of uncertainty over coach Avery Johnson‘s first training camp.
The proposed four-team trade has been out there since Friday. Until today, when the Nuggets, Utah Jazz and Charlotte Bobcats opened camp, the Nets were the only one of the four teams in the original deal practicing.
The Nets have praised Harris for being professional, but sources said the early practices and some meetings were awkward because guys were wondering about their future.
