The Nuggets are warming to the concept of trading Carmelo Anthony to the Knicks, according to one person familiar with Denver's strategy.

Anthony Randolph has become a more attractive commodity for Denver and would be included in a trade, according to the source.

Randolph has long been connected to Minnesota, where the Knicks would receive a first round pick, but those talks have stalled.

Denver continues to believe that the Nets will also reengage on trade talks.
