Carmelo Anthony essentially guaranteed that he won't be traded by the Nuggets within the next two days following Tuesday night's win over the Suns.

"I'll be here playing against Miami," Anthony said. "Guarantee you that."

Denver will host Miami on Thursday night at the Pepsi Center.

Reports indicated late Tuesday that Anthony may be the biggest hurdle to clear in the proposed three-team blockbuster that would send him to New Jersey.
