Carmello Anthony seems to already have one foot out the door when it comes to him leaving the Denver Nuggets. Once source says Anthony has told confidants he is very eager to play in New York. Another source close to the situation said Carmello already wants to play in New York. The biggest issue for Anthony is turning down the 3 year, 65 million dollar extension from the Denver Nuggets. This is because the current collective bargaining agreement expires in 10 months and the new agreement is going to be much less lucrative for players. This is because league officials are highly determined to clamp down on player movement and player salaries.
Personally I feel that Anthony should stay put in Denver. I mean his current situation there is great and will only get better. Denver is already a top 3 seed in the west andseem to make the playoffs every year. The Nuggets aren't as old as a few other teams. I mean, the lakers aren't going to be great forever with their main stars seeking retirement in the next 3-5 seasons. The spurs are very old and are only going to drop. The Mavs and Suns always choke in the first few rounds of the playoffs, and the Thunder are still young. Denver is only a one big man away from making even bigger noise in the NBA. Besides, no matter where he goes, Carmello still wont be able to escape the Miami Heat. Carmello, the Heat will be dominant for a very long time, so even if you do leave, your not going to be winning any titles anytime soon. So just stay in Denver and make 20 million plus and try again in 3 years.
