Nets close to acquire Melo in a 3 team trade?

Sources: Nets close to landing 'Melo in three-team trade
By David Aldridge, TNT analyst
Posted Jan 9 2011 9:01PM
The New Jersey Nets were close on Sunday evening to acquiring All-Star forward Carmelo Anthony from the Denver Nuggets in a three-team deal with the Detroit Pistons, but are still looking to get a commitment from Anthony and his camp on a long-term contract, according to two league sources.
The deal would send Anthony, along with guards Chauncey Billups and Anthony Carter, along with center Shelden Williams, to the Nets. Detroit would send veteran Rip Hamilton to New Jersey. The Nets would send guard Devin Harris, rookie forward Derrick Favors, guards Anthony Morrow, Stephen Graham, Quinton Ross and Ben Uzoh, along with two first-round picks, to the Nuggets. New Jersey would send center Johan Petro and forward Troy Murphy (and his expiring $12 million contract) to Detroit.
The potential savings for Detroit -- Hamilton has two years and $25 million left on his deal -- combined with the opportunity to break up the backcourt logjam that has plagued the team for two seasons makes the deal irresistable for the Pistons. Trading Hamilton would allow the team to, finally, move Ben Gordon into the starting lineup instead of splitting mintues with Hamilton.
The Pistons don't want Petro, though, and are looking for New Jersey to route him somewhere else.
Yahoo! Sports and ESPN.com reported details of the deal earlier Sunday.

Apparently Billups doesn't want to be traded and may look for a buyout if traded to the Nets.

Would be interesting to see how the Nuggets would play without him, not to mention how much he improves New Jersey. I don't think he'd autoomatically make them even a playoff team which is what the Nets will be hoping, but they'd be a damn sight better than they are now.
Pistons just look horrible, with or without Hamilton, these days.
