Harris Eyes Rumors In New Jersey

Nets' point guard Devin Harris is keeping his eyes on the trade rumors involving the team this summer, according to The New York Post.

"You never know. Obviously, I've been a big part of rumors, as well, so you never know what's going to happen until it actually happens," Harris said Thursday.

The team has been linked to the Nuggets in a rumored deal that would bring Carmelo Anthony and Marcus Camby to town for an undisclosed package.

"I heard some rumors. I'm curious. You've got to figure we're going to do something, whether it's a big monster deal or changing some of our role players," Harris said. "I think it's more retooling, but it is the NBA, things happen every summer."
