The Nets offer for Carmelo Anthony was an unmitigated disaster. They would have given up every valuable asset their team had to offer (save Brook Lopez, and who knows right now how valuable he is) in exchange for a very good, but overrated player (see below).
Now they are about to get Deron Williams for less than they were going to give up for Carmelo. More importantly, Williams is clearly a better player than Carmelo. Use any measurement you want other than an overly-simplistic discussion of "who scores more points per game" and Williams comes out ahead. Yes, Willams contract is up after next season, but for the Nets that's a risk worth taking.
In stark contrast to the public nature of the Carmelo affair, there was nary a whisper of this deal in the media before the announcements started pouring out a little while ago that the deal was done. Wow.
