Count the Denver Nuggets among the massive contingent of Miami Heat haters who want nothing more than to see the new Big Three turn into the Big Bust.
It's nothing personal against LeBron James & Co., but the latest developments on their respective fronts -- six straight wins for the Heat and two straight losses for the Nuggets -- are doing little to help their mission of retaining Carmelo Anthony.
While a source with knowledge of the Nuggets' thinking says it is almost certain Anthony will be traded by the Feb. 24 trade deadline if he doesn't agree to the three-year, $65 million extension which was offered during the summer, Denver -- much to the surprise of so many around the league -- remains optimistic about the chances of Anthony signing the deal and remaining in the Mile High City. But that complicated confidence may be wavering at the moment, the source said, because it's partially tied to the Heat's shockingly-slow start (8-7) and the message the team hoped it would send Anthony's way.
