Carmelo Willing To Wait, Sign With Knicks As Free Agent
Several sources close to Carmelo Anthony tell Chris Broussard that he is willing to play out the season and sign in New York as a free agent next summer, feeling that he can make up lost salary through endorsements.
With the belief that Anthony will end up signing with the Knicks growing, teams may back off their pursuit of the All-Star forward.
"Sources also say sentiment around the league that Anthony will sign with New York is so strong that many teams that have been willing to trade for Anthony as a rental are now reconsidering," Broussard writes.
The Rockets are thought to be a prime candidate to rent Anthony but if the team feels its chances of convincing him to sign an extension to stay in Houston are slim, it will not make a substantial offer to Denver.
Sources tell Broussard that the Knicks' timetable for trading Anthony Randolph may be pushed back by about one week with the Nets pulling out of trade discussions to acquire Anthony.
Minnesota and Indiana are the likeliest destinations for Randolph because both teams have an available first-round pick that the Knicks can use in a trade for Anthony.
But the Nuggets may be interested in taking Randolph for themselves.

Nuggets are screwed. This is going to turn out worse for them then it did with us.

They're not even going to get what the Raptors and Cavs got now by the sound of it. They should just say to hell with him and let him walk rather than facilitate him making a lot more money than if he just walks. It doesn't sound like they're going to get anything much now anyway. If they let him just walk he misses out on signing a big extension before the potential lockout.

This is also a good point. Maybe just to secure his rights just in case he starts changing his mind? I mean what if Riley went to the Nuggets and said "we'll trade you Bosh for him and that's a lot better than nothing". Would the Nuggets turn that down and would Melo turn down the chance to play with Wade and James? Melo can probably play PF better than Bosh can. Dude's got a great post up game and is big.

Melo Trade Rumor: Nuggets/Knicks/Wolves
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMa...radeId=45egkdw
NYK: Melo
DEN: Chandler, Brewer and one of MIN 1st round pick (MEM or UTA)
MIN: Curry and Randolph
Den is still a little under $2M over the luxury tax so another deal(s) would surely follow to get under.
