08:46 AM ET 02.05 | Several sources told Yahoo! Sports that Carmelo Anthony's agent, Leon Rose, has recently begun informing teams that the All-Star forward is interested in signing a contract extension with only the New York Knicks. The stance has weakened the Denver Nuggets' leverage in trying to deal Anthony, not only to other teams, but also the Knicks. The sources said the Knicks don't feel pressed to present a substantial trade offer to the Nuggets because they think they can also sign Anthony after the season if he opts out of his contract, as expected.

You don't always want to do dirty business because you can. So Knicks have to offer them something but not too much. The offer of Chandler, Fields, Randolph and Eddy Curry's contract is fair. It's up to the Denver franchise to decide if it's worth blowing this season for or if they are better off holding on to Melo for a deep playoff run and lose him for nothing.
Personally I feel like they've decided it's best to use Melo for a deep playoff run. The gate profits will totally outweigh what they'll get from Fields, Chandler, Randolph and Curry long term. At the end of the day whatever they do has to make sense financially so I think having realized that they've decided it's best to wait and start from scratch. I wish both sides well in this especially Melo. It all falls on him.

Read what it says....three way trades involve 3 teams. You can't send two players to one team and get a player from a completely different team in return...either the site is wrong or you can't read.

Then do you.....what? It doesn't make me feel like more of a man when I make fun of you but when you get all pissy and react like you are I have a lot more fun. Suck it up dude, your post didn't make sense thats all we are saying. If you're going to try and insult back however, you might want to try and make sense....but you don't have a track record for doing that....

Man, Denver is in a bad situation. The Nuggets will get nothing for him at the end of the season as it seems. The Knicks can simply sit back and wait for him to come to the negotiating table in the off season.
I'm assuming the worst case for Melo would be the upcoming labor talks that may have an impact on his next contract.

Yup, I'm the one that is immature. You don't like these back and forths (not fourths) then don't keep the insults going. A true man wouldn't go where you just went brother. Keep it to you and me. Thats just in bad taste
