SAN FRANCISCO – With two weeks left before the NBA’s trade deadline, Carmelo Anthony(notes) said he’s begun to “take a real hard look” at signing a contract extension with the Denver Nuggets if he’s not dealt to another team.
Whether Anthony is seriously contemplating staying with the Nuggets or merely trying to prod the New York Knicks into acquiring him before the deadline remains to be seen. Anthony’s representatives have tried to push the Nuggets to trade him – preferably to the Knicks – since he turned down the team’s three-year, $64 million extension offer over the summer. League sources said the Knicks have had trade conversations with the Nuggets but have yet to propose an overwhelming offer in part because they think Anthony will opt out of his contract this summer and sign with them regardless – and at a smaller cost once the league’s new collective-bargaining agreement is negotiated.
