The most feared man in the house, the lone NBA power broker possessing the strength to set Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony free and a billionaire with so much game he could shut down Miami superstar LeBron James with a nasty work stoppage next season, slipped like a ghost into the arena.

Stan Kroenke is in charge here.

The blockbuster trade involving Anthony won't be completed until Kroenke offers his blessing. There can be no endgame for the prolonged Melodrama until Kroenke gives a wink and nod.

"It stinks playing under these conditions," Nuggets guard Chauncey Billups said Thursday night after Denver beat Miami 130-102.

But nobody, not agents who smirk while pulling strings throughout the NBA, not players who smugly believe they can hijack the traditional duties of a general manager and certainly not media members who unabashedly do the bidding for a league full of self-serving agendas, is going to rush Kroenke into a deal involving Anthony.

Kroenke has more money and guts than any of them.

You won't dare hear Anthony challenge Kroenke with an outspoken trade demand, because the Nuggets forward is no fool.

Although agents Leon Rose and William Wesley fancy themselves as NBA kingmakers, the lone way for any rep to get his cut of the $65 million contract extension that Anthony desires is to sing Kroenke's song.

Whether you're New Jersey Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov or New York Knicks owner James Dolan, anybody who makes the mistake of thinking Kroenke is some hick from the sticks of Missouri will stumble from the negotiating table with 10-day bruises to the ego.

From the privacy of a luxury box in the Pepsi Center, with general manager Masai Ujiri whispering in his ear and only son Josh Kroenke at his right hand, the man who pulls as many strings as any person in American sports watched the Nuggets crush Miami.

In some sectors of cyberspace, the Nuggets have often been portrayed as country bumpkins who will somehow be used and abused by the Nets or Knicks, despite the fact both organizations have done a pretty fair job of defining NBA ineptitude in recent years.

The reason no team has closed a deal for Anthony is because no trade proposal has yet met with the approval of Kroenke.

The uncertainty preys on the Denver players. "I'm pretty sure they think about it. If they tell you that they don't, they'd be lying," said Anthony, who scored 21 points against the Heat. "I told them: Whatever happens is going to happen. As long as I'm here, I just want everybody to just play and have fun."

Ask anybody who has tried messing with Kroenke on the topic of money in years past, anyone from a young, cocky Gilbert Arenas to former Nuggets general manager Kiki Vandeweghe, and they could undoubtedly tell you how cold and unforgiving a nuclear winter feels.

There remains the possibility that Kroenke will push too hard, test the limits of the league's trade deadline, until Denver allows its best chance for a decent return on Anthony to slip away.

But don't bet on it.

Kroenke has pumped so much money into the Nuggets, paying the luxury tax and forgoing profits in the pursuit of the one championship he would most cherish, that he has told folks that this NBA team has been his own private charity case.

Well, Kroenke is no longer in a charitable mood. The Nuggets, including Anthony, Allen Iverson and Billups, fell short in their pursuit to bring Denver its first league championship. This franchise is stripping payroll and hunkering down for a labor war.

Just as he shut down the NHL in 2004, seeking a new financial order that made it harder for the Avalanche to dominate on the ice, you can bet Kroenke sees no reason to spend outrageously on a Nuggets team that might not play a game for a very long time next season.

And nothing, not Melo, not a general manager looking to pay pennies on a dollar for a superstar, not even the bright lights of New York City, is going to intimidate Kroenke.

This trade might not be done 100 percent on Kroenke's terms.

But it won't be done until he says it's time.

Mark Kiszla: 303-954-1053 or [email protected]

That is the biggest load of BS I've read in recent memory. And while Kiszla is trying to pretend to praise Kroenke, does he really believe that Iverson was all that was needed to bring a title to Denver? That move was made in order to sell tickets while Melo was suspended. Kroneke has been trying avoid the luxury tax like the plague (ask Marcus Camby and Linas Kleiza). K-Marts contract crippled the franchise and the Kroenke decided to follow that up with a a 6 year 60 mil contract for Nene in 2006. That is about the most injury-prone, overpaid front-court in recent memory. I can't believe this dude wrote this trash. Wow... SMH

Agreed. Yes, Stan spent a ton of money... but he didn't do it smart. I will defend the Nenê signing, though. That man is worth that contract, and outside of doing his ACL in '05, hasn't had much injury wise.

I posted the article because everybody is getting on Ujiri, when at the end of the day if he puts together a deal he's ready to pull the trigger on (see: DEN-NJ-DET last weekend), he's not "backing out"; it's Stan.

[h1]Title Is More Important Than Money To Carmelo[/h1]
Jan 15, 2011 6:56 PM EST

Carmelo Anthony says the opportunity to win an NBA title is more important to him than money.

That is why Anthony has held off on signing a three-year, $65 million extension, which the Nuggets offered him last summer.

He is still weighing his options as rumors linking him to the Nets continue to run wild.

On Saturday, Anthony said he will only sign an extension with a team that gives him a chance to win a championship.

"I'm going into my ninth season. I have no time to waste right now," Anthony said. "I want to see the light at the end of the tunnel in my future. That light is a championship."

Anthony added that bringing a title to Denver has always been his dream, but that it may be fading.

"If I feel I can't do it here, I don't think this is the right thing to do," the forward said. "It's just the uncertainty in the future of the organization. It's a lot of things that come into play, contracts, not knowing what's going to happen in the future."

He later reiterated that no contract extension will be about the money.

"At first, a lot of people were saying it's a money situation. It has nothing to do with no type of money," Anthony said. "I don't care about the money. My ultimate at the end of the day is to win and win a championship. Whether I feel like I can do that here, whether I feel like I need to go somewhere else and do it, that's my own ultimate decision.

"You have to have a decision what's best for you and best for your career. Right now, whatever decision I make is going to be the best decision for me."

I still believe that if Stan didn't fire/renew Mark Warkentien and Rex Chapman Melo would still want to be a Nugget.

Ken Berger: Mentioned on WFAN there are those in league who believe #Nets would do Melo deal w/o extension. "No way," source just told me. Twitter

Ken Berger: Renting Melo is "the opposite of what ownership wants," the source said. Theory was that Prokhorov would do anything to get Melo. Twitter

Numerous NBA people I was in contact with today said they felt that this trade could happen very soon. The Nuggets host Cleveland tonight, then travel to San Antonio for a game Sunday and don’t play again until Wednesday in Denver against Oklahoma City. Denver Post

Yeah, I see Crawford and Tayshaun wanting to get paid and be on a winning team. Redd and Yao are non factors to me, they might as well retire. I think Richardson is staying in Orl. Grant Hill might leave if the Suns get blown up like I think they will. Dalembert auditioning for any team he plays against

Glen and Perk aint going nowhere.

I can only hope your Mavs go out in the 1st round and Tyson comes to the Knicks

Meh to the rest.

Technically they still have a player option for the 2012-2013 season, so they could take it and not be a free agent until the following year.

After they saw the hold ups Melo had I doubt they will

Unless they know where they're going and the team will have the cap space needed then.

Melo could technically take his player option as well.
