Sources tell Yahoo! Sports that the Nuggets and Nets are attempting to put together a complicated three- or four-team trade to send Carmelo Anthony to New Jersey.

No deal is imminent but the Nets believe they are "getting there," in the words of one front-office executive, on a trade for Anthony.

League sources say Anthony is growing more comfortable with the idea of committing to the Nets long term.  Any trade would presumably be contingent on Anthony agreeing to sign a contract extension with the Nets.  

The Knicks and Bulls are Anthony's preferred destinations.
