It seems more and more likely that Carmelo Anthony will not sign a contract
extension with the Nuggets, which likely will force the team to trade him,
perhaps to the Knicks.
ESPN.com reported last night that Anthony is "going to make it real clear
that he's not coming back" to Denver, according to an NBA source.
"Both Nuggets owner Stan Kroenke and Anthony already are well aware that they
don't have a future together, sources say. That became clear to Kroenke at a
reception after Anthony's July 11 (wedding) to La La Vasquez in Manhattan,"
the report says.
During the reception, Hornets guard Chris Paul and new Knicks forward Amar'e
Stoudemire both mentioned in toasts that Anthony should join the Knicks.
Anthony "apparently did nothing to discourage or dismiss the suggestions that
he should leave the Nuggets," the report says.
Anthony, who grew up in Baltimore and played at Syracuse, could return to the
East Coast in two ways: He could sign the three-year, $65 million extension
the Nuggets have offered, then force the team to trade him. Or he could
refuse to sign, leaving the Nuggets to trade him or receive nothing when he
becomes a free agent after this season.
Either option could have Anthony in a Knicks uniform at the start of this
season.
According to ESPN, the Knicks could offer Eddy Curry and his expiring
contract to the Nuggets, along with players, in a trade.
Last week, Anthony said he had no timetable to sign the extension, a very
lucrative deal considering the NBA's unstable labor situation heading into
2011-12. Other reports had those close to Anthony saying the Knicks are
"perfect for him."
ESPN reports Anthony took a liking to Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni during the
2008 Olympics, where D'Antoni wan an assistant coach for Team USA.
The Knicks signed only Stoudemire from a 2010 free agent class that included
LeBron James and Chris Bosh, who both joined Miami.
