The Nuggets have to make some sort of change, and they have to trim some salary, don't they? If Carmello really stays, who will go? Will they take an Alan Houston exception on Nene, because of his health issues? I guess the Camby thing can't happen, but it's fun to dream. Anyone else on that squad that might be worth the effort?

DENVER (MyFOXColorado.com) - So exactly what is the chance of Denver Nuggets franchise star Carmelo Anthony taking his gig to Motown?
Perhaps about the same chance of Diana Ross taking out all of her fake hair live on camera.
That’s pretty much the odds if you are listening to Anthony’s agent, Calvin Andrews, who spoke with Fox 31 sports Monday.
“I would say nothing is happening. The Nuggets are not trading Carmelo,” said Andrews.
But it’s not as if the original question is completely out of the realm of possibility.
The Denver Post recently reported (through an unnamed source) that the Detroit Pistons might be interested in Anthony, and that Detroit may be among the teams putting out feelers for the 24-year-old star.
The Free Press also reported all current Pistons are on the trading block, with the exception of guard Rodney Stuckey.
The Pistons have missed the NBA Finals for three straight seasons, and clearly have high expectations.
With that level of success, it’s hard for Denver fans (who have endured five consecutive first-round playoff exits) to understand why Detroit would even tinker with their chemistry.
Andrews, however, isn’t mystified.
“People are interested in Carmelo. People are smelling blood. There are a lot of rumors out there and a lot of talk is happening, so people feel like they got to get there bid in there too.”
Andrews has already told Fox 31 that he sees Anthony staying with the Nuggets, and that the organization hasn’t told him any differently.
“Our relationship is such that we would be informed by the Nuggets if there stance had changed. They would call me,” added Andrews.
Andrews also emphasized he sees no reason to call and question the Nuggets in light of the new rumors, although he admits anything can happen.
“You can’t jump up and down every time people make inquiries. Our understanding is that no trade is happening.”
