The Nuggets and Knicks appear to be closing in on a trade that would send All-Star forward Carmelo Anthony to New York.

The two teams continued to talk throughout the weekend and are believed to be putting the finishing touches on an agreement.

NBA commissioner David Stern did not want a blockbuster trade announced on the day of the All-Star Game.

According to NBA sources, the latest version of the trade would see New York send Raymond Felton, Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari, Eddy Curry, Timofey Mozgov and a first-round pick to Denver for Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams and either Anthony Carter or Renaldo Balkman.

"I said I hoped to have a word by today, one way or another," Anthony said Sunday after the All-Star Game. "I've been up early dealing with this and all the festivities, but the night is still young on this side (of the country)."

Nuggets officials are also talking about a deal with the Nets, but that trade is less likely because Anthony hasn't indicated he would sign a contract extension with New Jersey.

"I haven't talked to anybody today from the Denver Nuggets organization," Anthony said, "so as of right now, I'm still a Nugget."
