Carmelo Anthony Sweepstakes - Denver and New York In Trade Talks

[casmith07]

From ESPN's Chris Broussard:

The Denver Nuggets and the New York Knicks are discussing a three-team trade that would make forward Carmelo Anthony a Knick before the Feb. 24 trade deadline, according to league sources.

In the proposed trade, New York would send Anthony Randolph and Eddy Curry to Minnesota and the Timberwolves would send Corey Brewer and a first-round pick to Denver. Denver would also receive Wilson Chandler from New York.

The deal is not expected to happen until the middle of this week at the earliest, and one source said it could drag out until the trade deadline. Denver, which has been exchanging proposals with the Knicks for the past couple weeks, is weighing other options.

Wow great trade for the Knicks but horrible for Denver.

Not that bad for Denver - they get a 1st rounder from Minnesota.

The fact that Denver is getting anything out of Melo leaving is a good deal for them. They are fortunate he has the courtesy to ask for a trade and not leave them empty handed. That first round pick at least gives them a possible future after Melo. They are still gonna be set back, but at least they aren't left empty handed like another superstar's city.
