DENVER -- Carmelo Anthony sure didn't look like a guy about to be traded.Before starting Sunday night's game against New Orleans at the Pepsi Center, the Denver star forward was boasting about his hometown Baltimore Ravens winning big over Kansas City in an NFL playoff game earlier in the day.
In a brief interview with FanHouse, Anthony did say he was aware there are numerous reports he soon could be going to New Jersey, along with teammate Chauncey Billups, in a three-team trade that also includes Detroit.
Anthony didn't want to talk about the situation. But he was told there was one important question that needed to be asked. If traded to New Jersey, would he be willing to sign a three-year, $64.47 million contract extension with the Nets, one he has been unwilling to ink with the Nuggets?
"I ain't talking about that,'' Anthony said of the subject that could determine whether or not the Nets want to trade for him.
Anthony can opt out of his contract and become a free agent this summer. That's why Denver has been looking to deal him by the Feb. 24 trade deadline.
