Chauncey Billups does not want to be a member of the Nets, who could acquire him in a rumored trade with the Nuggets involving Carmelo Anthony.

"If he is traded, he'd want to be bought out to he could survey the landscape and re-evaluate what he wants to do going forward," agent Andy Miller told ESPN.com.

There have been numerous reports the Nets had engaged the Pistons in three-way trade talks with the aim of bringing Anthony, Billups and Richard Hamilton to New Jersey.

The talks between Denver, New Jersey and Detroit have not progressed to the point where anything is close to being finished, as reported by ESPN.com's Marc Stein.

"We've had numerous conversations with the Nuggets -- today was the latest, but we've had conversations throughout the entire season -- where we've made it clear that Chauncey wants to remain a Nugget for the duration of his career, and then after his career is over he wants to move into the front office," Miller said.
