Carmelo Anthony didn't think Denver's loss to New Orleans on Sunday night would be his final game with the franchise.

"Uh-uh, not at all," Anthony said, repeating the phrase "not at all" four times.

Anthony noted that Nuggets team executive Josh Kroenke and general manager Masai Ujiri "are not even here, so I don't see that happening."

Reports of a possible trade picked up over the weekend, with the Pistons entering talks between the Nuggets and Nets in the three-team deal.

"No," Anthony said when asked if he thought a trade might be completed this week.
