The Nets, on the other hand, had the necessary goods to get a deal done. Moreover, they were so mesmerized by Anthony's serial scoring, magnetism and Brooklyn roots -- as well as being deeply displeased with Devin Harris -- they were more than happy to take Billups, whose $14.2 million salary next season would have been fully guaranteed as soon as he joined the team.

Devin Harris – being Devin Harris — held his tongue. Just like he always did. Choosing to be not the malcontent, but the good soldier and class act. All the way to the end, regardless of the fallout for his team, his season, and his career. “You reach a point when you realize it’s no use,” said the former Nets captain, wearing pregame sweats that had Utah Jazz emblazoned across the shirt. “I mean, it’s hard to speak up when you go in the very first day and the talk is already starting. “It was the first day of October, I think, when we started hearing the (Carmelo Anthony) rumors. There’s not a lot you can say after that, no matter what it does to your season. It’s a lost cause, because at that point, everybody is spending every day looking over their shoulder.” Newark Star-Ledger

Devin Harris and Marquis Daniels go back to their days together in Dallas, when they were both rookies on the Mavericks team that lost to Miami in the Finals. Harris said he talked to Daniels after seeing his frightening spinal cord injury against the Magic on Feb. 6, but he hasn’t spoken with Daniels since he was traded to Sacramento at last week’s deadline. Before tonight's game, Harris said: “It’s tough. He’s a little scared right now, but I think if that situation happened to any one of us, we’d be in that same situation. He just wants to get healthy and know that he can go out there and play and be effective. It was hard to watch, knowing that wasn’t even anything out of the ordinary. He was just trying to rip through and when he hit the floor, it was kind of scary.” Boston Globe

How do you feel about replacing Williams? Devin Harris: “I’ve been through it before. With a team like Utah, they’re behind their team. They have a great fan base and I think they’ll welcome me with open arms. We don’t have a lot of time to waste. We’re still fighting for a playoff spot. I think we’ve lost five in a row. We’ve got to get back on track and that’s really my focal point, my focus.” Bergen Record

Everyone is going to think this is you and Avery clashing. What’s the story? “It was never a problem. Me and Avery we’ve been open and honest with each other. We both kind of agreed with me getting up there in age to get back to a situation where I get back to the playoffs. The team we had wasn’t really going to direction they wanted to go. They had to break up the team a little bit. I just asked to get back to a winning situation. That’s how it is. We’ll still talk. We talked yesterday. I wished him best of luck. He did the same. They got a great player and a friend of mine in Deron. I think both sides are happy with the outcome.” Bergen Record

Did you ask for a trade? “I didn’t necessarily ask for it. It’s not something I asked for, but it’s mutually something we came to an agreement on.” When did this happen? “When the Denver stuff came back around.” In January? “No. Just recently when they got back in the mix.” So when? “The conversation was after Boston.” So during the break? “Yes.” Agreed they would do something and you would welcome it? “Yes.” Bergen Record

Harris, in a phone interview today, said he didn’t ask for a trade and this had nothing to do with his relationship with Nets coach Avery Johnson. But it was clear both sides wanted to move in a different direction. The Nets felt Harris wasn’t as committed to them, but he believed they weren’t as committed to him. “I didn’t necessarily ask for it,” Harris said. “It’s not something I asked for, but it’s mutually something we came to an agreement on.” Bergen Record

“It was never a problem,” he said of his relationship with Johnson, who was Dallas’ coach when Harris was traded to the Nets in 2008. “Me and Avery, we’ve been open and honest with each other. We both kind of agreed with me getting up there in age to try to get back to a situation where I get back to the playoffs. “The team we had wasn’t really going in a direction they wanted to go.
