Anthony Doesn't Think Trade To Nets Imminent
DENVER (AP) -- Carmelo Anthony doesn't think a trade to New Jersey is imminent.
The Denver Nuggets All-Star forward also said after practice Monday he regrets that teammate and Denver native Chauncey Billups' name has come up in reports of a three-team deal involving Detroit.
Despite the rumors that his departure from Denver is fast approaching, Anthony was in a jovial mood at practice following one of the worst performances of his career in a loss to New Orleans on Sunday night. He took just 11 shots and scored only eight points, the crowd booing him on several occasions.
Anthony's future has been the subject of intense speculation ever since he spurned the Nuggets' three-year, $65 million contract extension last summer.
