This is going to be interesting.. does Carmelo sign long term with Jersey? What happens with Billups? I know he doesn't want to leave Denver, but does he hold out to get bought out?

Is Melo Fools Gold?
Mr. Anthony is on pace to finish this season worth the equivalent of 6.8 wins, using the metric "Wins Produced" that predicts how statistics correlate to winning. Developed by Southern Utah University economics professor David Berri, Wins Produced devalues scoring totals in favor of other stats, particularly shooting efficiency.
Essentially, Mr. Anthony scores like an elite player, but he requires more shots to put up his numbers than a true superstar. This season, Mr. Anthony holds an effective field goal percentage—a weighted statistic that takes 3-pointers into account—of 45.1%. By comparison, LeBron James's effective field goal percentage is 52%. A franchise player, Mr. Berri says, will produce between 25-30 wins a season. Chris Paul is on pace to have 25.8 Wins Produced this season. Last year, Mr. James had 27.2, and Dwight Howard had 22.3.

I think Carmelo is a top 10 player with questionable work ethics that needs a tough and demanding coach and another star player to keep motivated.
If brought to the right situation he is gold, if you don't have what I mentioned above then its fools gold.

LOL the Nets screwed themselves up. They could have waited instead of spending pointlessly in the summer. Now they are stuck with average and below average players who are paid quite a bit. I can see why Melo wouldn't want to join them, their line-up shows no promise.
