A source with "knowledge of the New York Knicks' thinking" refutes Tuesday's ESPN story that the Knicks have been making significant progress in a potential trade to bring Carmelo Anthony to New York.

The source said there is "no legs to that" report from the Knicks' perspective.

One source insists the Nets have "never been out of the mix" to acquire Anthony, saying that the Nuggets remain interested in Andrei Kirienko, Gerald Wallace or Andre Iguodala in a multi-team deal.

Another source who has been involved in the trade talks continues to believe that the Nets will ultimately land Anthony.
