Even though Carmelo Anthony denied earlier in the weekend that a meeting between him and New Jersey Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov, you knew they would have something to talk about.
After all, the Nets and the Denver Nuggets did have a tentative agreement on a trade for Anthony. Well, Prokhorov and New Jersey part owner Jay-Z conducted a 40-minute meeting with 'Melo last night.
According to Yahoo! Sports, however, the Nets owners left the meeting not feeling very confident that he would agree to an extension on his contract. As stated in a previous post, Anthony needs to approve of a three-year contract extension in order for the trade to be finalized.
The Nets, after all, are giving up some pretty big building blocks to get him. They don't want to give up Devin Harris and Derrick Favors to have 'Melo for a fraction of an NBA season.
