EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Listening to Nets coach Avery Johnson, the monster deal to bring Carmelo Anthony from Denver to New Jersey might be on hold.
Hours before leaving for a four-game West Coast road trip, Johnson said Tuesday he didn’t expect any roster changes during the trip.
Johnson refuses to guarantee there won’t be any changes, but it might be tough to make a deal involving more than a dozen players, including eight from the Nets, with the team playing four games in six days.
The much-publicized deal would have the Nets sending point guard Devin Harris, rookie power forward Derrick Favours, veteran Troy Murphy and others to either Denver or Detroit in a swap that would land Anthony in New Jersey with Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton and others.
