Carmelo Anthony has been expected to sign an extension with the Nuggets and a source told the Denver Post on Thursday that those plans haven't changed.

Amar'e Stoudemire, who officially become a member of the Knicks on Thursday, has tried publicly courting Anthony already.

Anthony can become a free agent after the 2010-11 season if he opts against signing an extension.

"I've talked to Carmelo Anthony, that he needs to come out here," Stoudemire told the New York Daily News. "I've talked to Tony Parker. Both guys are ready to join me if I decide to come here. So we will see if we can work it out."
