THE New York Knicks beat out rivals New Jersey Nets to win the Carmelo Anthony sweepstakes by agreeing to a trade with the Denver Nuggets on Monday, a person familiar with the deal said.
The deal that would finish the season-long trade speculation involving Denver's All-Star forward and send him to his desired destination can't be finalized until today during a conference call with the National Basketball Association office. Assuming it goes through, it puts Anthony alongside Amare Stoudemire in a potentially explosive frontcourt - at a heavy cost to the Knicks, who hoped in July to sign two top stars but came away with only one.
The person provided no other details of who was in the deal, which was first reported on Monday by The Denver Post.
The Post, citing a league source, said the Knicks would send Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov and a 2014 first-round draft pick to the Nuggets, who would get additional picks and cash.
Along with Anthony, New York would acquire Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams, Anthony Carter and Renaldo Balkman, according to the Post.
ESPN later reported it was a three-way deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves, who would acquire Eddy Curry and Anthony Randolph from the Knicks for Corey Brewer.
The Nuggets have explored an Anthony trade since he refused to sign the three-year contract extension worth nearly US$65 million they offered him last summer.
Anthony, a four-time All-Star who is averaging 25.2 points per game this season, had made no secret of a desire to play in New York. He grew up on the East Coast in Baltimore and led New York state's Syracuse University to the US college title as a freshman before becoming the third pick of the 2003 NBA Draft.
