The New York Daily News is reporting that Carmelo Anthony has signed off on a deal that will send him to the New Jersey/Brooklyn Nets in the latest of the string of off-season deals reshaping the NBA landscape.  The deal is said to involve four teams and will send Derrick Favors to the Nuggets with Andrei Kirilenko from Utah along with draft picks.  Devin Harris would go to Charlotte with Boris Diaw going from Charlotte to Utah.  Got all that?  There may be some other role players or draft picks involved. The Daily News says the deal may be announced as early as Saturday. 

Should this deal come to pass it will certainly be a good back-up shot for the Nets having failed to land LeBron earlier this summer.  Landing Melo will give the Nets not only a go-to scorer to build a team around but a star to market the team as it moves into its new Brooklyn home in 2012.   The only people more unhappy with this deal than Nuggets fans are the management of the Knicks, who now must face marketing the train wreck that masquerades as a NBA team playing in the Garden against a real, bonafide, Redeem Team star just across the bridge in Brooklyn.  Good luck with that.
