Will He Stay or Will He Go?

The Nuggets have heated up lately as the talk of Forward Carmelo Anthony being traded to the New Jersey Nets have intensified.  Denver has won the last two games scoring at least 130 points in both games, one of whom was against the #2 seat in the East the Miami Heat.  In the game Tuesday against the Phoenix Suns the Nuggets knocked the Suns off winning 132-98 and later in the week, Thursday, beat the Miami Heat 130-102.

The potential trade including Carmelo Anthony would consist of a 3 team, 15 player trade.  According to NBA.com it is stated, "The deal would supposedly send Anthony, along with guards Chauncey Billups and Anthony Carter, along with center Shelden Williams, to the Nets. Detroit would send veteran Rip Hamilton to New Jersey. The Nets would send guard Devin Harris, rookie forward Derrick Favors, guards Anthony Morrow, Stephen Graham, Quinton Ross and Ben Uzoh, along with two first-round picks, to the Nuggets. New Jersey would send center Johan Petro and forward Troy Murphy (and his expiring $12 million contract) to Detroit."


Carmelo Anthony doesn't feel that the trade is imminent and later went on to say:


"That's my feeling. I don't think so. I don't want to elaborate on that anymore. That's just my own personal feeling," Anthony said following practice.


"I'm here," Anthony said. "Until something happens, I'm a Denver Nugget."
