Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports that the Nuggets' new general manager Masai Ujiri has been working the phones to explore three-way trade scenarios that would send Carmelo Anthony to either the Knicks or Bulls.

Anthony's representatives are pushing Denver to deal their client before training camp opens.

"If they do, it's a self-imposed panic," one rival executive said about the possibility of the Nuggets complying with Anthony's wishes for a quick exit. "Right now, I don?t know if there's anyone strong enough there to stand up."

"I don't know if they really know what they want yet," an executive who inquired about Anthony told Yahoo! Sports.
