Nuggets would get Devin Harris, Derrick Favors, Anthony Morrow and around 1-2 first round draft picks from the Nets. The other 6 players would be low quality and only to match salaries so nobody else big expected to move in that group. Detroit could also void the deal if they have to give up a draft pick should the Nuggets want a draft pick from Piston and they don't want Petro even though they would be saving money in the deal so a 4th team could be added to the trade.

Curious as to if NJ is expecting Carmelo to sign an extension or something. I'd imagine so considering what they're giving up to get him. Not sure if bringing along two past their prime players as the core of the team is really gonna entice him though. He's not signing the extension in Denver because of the team around him and its much better than the Nets. Can't imagine him doing that.
