Carmelo Anthony's representatives continue to push for a trade to the Knicks, Bulls or Nets. The Denver Post reports that "the Nuggets are working diligently to move him out of town as soon as possible."
Unwilling to include Joakim Noah, the Bulls appear out of the running to acquire Anthony.
The Nets remain in the hunt but will not part with Brook Lopez. A third team may be necessary to take Devin Harris and provide the Nuggets an adequate replacement for Anthony. Presumably Derrick Favors would be sent to Denver if such a three-way deal materializes.
The Knicks are looking for a draft pick to send to Denver, but even then, the Nuggets are not enthralled with the assets that New York can offer.
Denver owner Stan Kroenke says he does not know what will happen with the drama playing out around Anthony, but he is willing to defer to his son who is now in charge of the team.
"Oh, I don't know," Kroenke said. "I'm kind of ... that's going to be Josh's decision. He can handle it."
