The Knicks remain very interested in Carmelo Anthony, and confidants of the three-time All-Star say the feeling is mutual.

The Denver Nuggets certainly are aware of the prospect of enduring the same unenviable fate the Cleveland Cavaliers experienced with LeBron James over the last year. But despite recent reports about Anthony's uncertain future with the Nuggets, a trade involving Anthony isn't imminent, NBA sources told Newsday. In fact, it is unlikely the Nuggets would even engage in any conversations involving their superstar forward at this point of the offseason because, as one source said about the Nuggets, "There's no one to talk to there."

Denver is still searching for a general manager to replace Mark Warkentien, whose contract was not renewed this summer. The team also let go Rex Chapman , vice president of player personnel. Former Suns executive David Griffin is believed to have the inside track. Bret Bearup (Harborfields High School) is an adviser to Nuggets owner Stan Kroenke , but Bearup is not believed to be a point person when it comes to talking trades, especially not for a blockbuster deal that would involve the franchise's star player.

Knicks president Donnie Walsh talked with Warkentien earlier in the summer, according to multiple sources, but there have been no discussions between the teams after the front-office changes in Denver .

The Knicks could wait for next summer and sign Anthony to a max contract, but the Nuggets could trade Anthony before then to get maximum value rather than be left empty-handed like the Cavaliers were when James bolted to Miami in July. But there is no rush for Denver at this point.

"This is something that's going to linger," said a person with direct knowledge of the situation. In fact, it could linger through the 2010-11 season and up to the trade deadline in February.

The best the Knicks can offer would be a multi-player deal that starts with Danilo Gallinari , who is the prized asset of the franchise. The Knicks also likely would include Eddy Curry 's $11.2-million expiring contract to help match Anthony's $17.1-million salary. The Knicks also would want Anthony to agree to a long-term extension as part of the trade agreement, which gives Anthony some leverage. Other teams, such as Orlando, reportedly are also on Anthony's list of preferred destinations, but the Knicks believe they are his top choice.

I'm Done
u do know many people are comparing gallo to the early first 2 season of nowitzki right?


Yea but I've never heard anyone put AR and Camby as any kind of comparison.  As much as I like Gallo, he'll never be Dirk in his prime.  Even what Dirk is today.
Really not that far off.
Their early years are VERY similar.

denver is going to want him if the knicks are involved.

you gotta give something to get something, right? We'd be extremely lucky to get a Gasol-type trade in our favor lol

Their first two years are similar even though Dirk averaged a couple more PPG and rebounds but that's not enough to disprove that. But I don't see him making that jump to a 22 PPG kinda guy, who makes 48% of his shots and grabs almost 10 boards a game. Maybe that's because of the teams he'll have around him taking the ball out of his hands more or maybe that's because he's not that guy. I dunno.

Camby in AR, Ewing in Stat... what more we need

Jerome Jordan, which NBA rights are held by the New York Knicks, could also play in Europe next season. The 23-year-old Jamaican center is on the radar of Hemofarm, and could land in the Serbian team if the Knicks finally doesn't sign him. Jordan has played during the last four seasons for the University of Tulsa, averaging 15.4 points and 9.1 rebounds per game. The Hoops Market
+ And i don't think AR and Cambys game are similar at all..


I wanna remind everyone that we won't have Al Harrington jackin up shots this season..

That $$+# alone might make Melo wanna leave Denver.. j/p.. Harrington is on the Nuggets if you didnt know

gallo will be a stud. and he could easily average 20 points if he waasn't the 4th option on a terrible team like last year.

i'd give him up for melo, but he very well may be dirk 2.0 in 3 years if he is put in the right situation. the problem is we wana make a run as quick as possible, can't wait and pray for him to develop if we can get melo

i dont know what GM will have the balls to come into their job and trade melo right away. i hope this stretches to the deadline so we can increase the value of our assets and denver would have very little leverage at that point. if the CBA gets extended a year then they would have NO leverage at that point.

On another note.. Walsh does a good job at putting a team together.. Im not completely sure if he put the 04 Pacers team together but they had a shot that yr b4 the fight..



Should the Denver Nuggets elect to trade Carmelo Anthony, the New York Knicks are believed to be the All-Star forward's first choice for a new home. But they are not his only option. SI.com

Alex Kennedy: Houston is very interested and if reports are true, Anthony is open to signing a long term deal there. Don't sleep on Daryl Morey. Twitter


Multiple league sources familiar with his situation told SI.com that Anthony would also be open to signing a long-term deal with Houston or New Jersey should either of those teams offer the Nuggets a palatable trade package. Getting Anthony, 26, to agree to an extension is the key to any deal as he is entering the final year of his contract with the Nuggets. Denver has offered Anthony a three-year, $65 million extension but he has balked at signing it and is reportedly looking for a way out of Denver. With any deal for Anthony requiring a team to give up significant assets, it is highly unlikely any team would risk making a trade without Anthony agreeing to a simultaneous extension. SI.com

So Rockets gonna offer the picks we traded with them?
laugh.gif
I still think we have the better offer, they can offer Battier, Coutney Lee, Jordan Hill, Budinger, Picks

But things never go our way so who knows
