Carmelo Anthony's camp has held the same position with the Nuggets since the summer, according to a confidant close to the newly named All-Star starter. Anthony wants to be traded or he will sign with the Knicks as a free agent.

If Anthony leaves via free agency, the Nuggets would be unable to recoup his real value.

Denver believes the Nets will once again be interested in discussing a trade for Anthony, but the same source doesn't expect that to happen.
