I think New Jersey seems like the more probable target -- what can the Knicks offer for Melo? And with labor uncertainty, I'm not sure Carmelo wants to risk free agency.

It's more a case of "what will the new CBA look like" than labor uncertainty...
And Melo at NYK? Sheesh... that means that you'd have two guys who are at best defensively limited playing side-by-side.
Melo is NOT a good fit for the Knicks. The Nets are.

Why the Nets more than the Knicks? The Nets don't make me dream... at all!

Well... more than the Knicks.
The Knicks are committed in a direction around Amare, and to get Melo would have to strip themselves of a few pieces that are part of the reason they are doing pretty well thus far this season. Melo ending up at NYK would result in the franchise taking a backward step (I think).
The Nets will build completely around Melo, and don't have to sell the farm to do so. Add to that, they have an owner who'll be prepared to spend (tho' to be fair, historically that's not something Dolan's had a problem doing either).

The Nets lack only a superstar at Sf to be really dangerous...Harris-Morrow-Melo-Favors-B.Loopez is a young and competitive strating five with a lot of room to improve

The knicks would have to sacrifice Chandler or Gallo for Melo,and they would still lack a starting center to be really competitive against celtics,magic and bulls inside players and against miami's big three

Yeah, this sure looks like a competitive starting five, but not one to win the Play-Offs series. Anyways, the Nets has shut the negotiations since a long time now. Melo still doesn't know where he is heading. Only future will tell...

Nets shut down negotiations because Nuggets ask too much,and Melo seems that want to go to the Knicks...probably it's too late to convince him that at the Knicks the team would still be behind the top 3-4 teams in the est(If Chicago find a decent guard,they would be ahead of the Knicks with Melo-Amare)...I would try a last second offer with Murphy and Vujacic expirings and Favors or this year 1st round pick,if they want more,they could lose melo at the end of season for nothing(like Bosh's deal)
