Carmelo Anthony denied that he has requested a trade and said he plans to keep his options open until the end of the season.

"I'm leaving my options open. At the end of the season, I'll sit down with my team; I'll sit down with the Nuggets," Anthony said.

"I've never said I wanted to be traded," he said. "I never once said anything about trade talk. There's been a lot of speculation going on."
