The Nets may have officially pulled back in their pursuit of Carmelo Anthony but that doesn't mean they will not continue to have discussions with Denver.

One unresolved question, however, is whether Anthony would accept a trade to New Jersey by signing a long-term contract extension with the Nets.

"I think he's thumbs-sideways on it," said one source with knowledge of Anthony's position. "He's not 100 percent sold on it."
