"I'm not happy with the way ... this deal has gone until now," Prokhorov said. "It has taken too long. It has been played out in public and it certainly has taken a toll on the players and I believe that it has cost us several games. I think management did a great job, but there comes a time when the price is simply too expensive. I'm instructing our team to walk away from the deal."
Good. You know, I would have liked the deal for the Nets if they could have got Melo, Chauncey Billups and Rip Hamilton. However, I think the Nets are still salvageable without Melo. If they get a good guard and build around Derrick Favors and Brook Lopez and have a good draft, they could have a very good young team.
But good for the Russian for being sick of being jerked around. This really puts the Nuggets in a bad spot, because Carmelo is definitely walking after this year and they will end up getting 25 cents on the dollar with a deal for him. This might be very good thing for the Knicks. And no BMack we aren't trading Big Baby, Quisy, Jermaine O'Neal, and Avery Bradley for Melo either.
