Report: Carmelo Anthony Wants Out of Denver

Filed under: Bobcats, Clippers, Nets, Nuggets, Rockets, Warriors

When Carmelo Anthony didn't immediately jump at the chance to sign a three-year, $65 million contract extension with the Nuggets this summer, rumors began to spread that maybe he wasn't all that thrilled about staying in Denver beyond next season.



Those rumors have now become fact, thanks to a report from Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports that says Anthony and his agent have told the team in no uncertain terms that he wants out.



And at this point, even the "next season" part appears to be in serious jeopardy.



According to the report, Anthony's representatives, William Wesley and Leon Rose, had told Nuggets' ownership that they'd be better off trading the team's best player weeks ago. Anthony echoed those sentiments in a meeting on Sunday, one that apparently went so poorly that it may have solidified his future in Denver -- or lack thereof.



"This wasn't a productive, nor particularly pleasant, meeting and multiple sources said it could turn out to be the point of no return for Anthony and the organization. Sources insist it's no longer a matter of if the Nuggets trade Anthony, but when, where and for whom he's traded for," Wojnaroski wrote.
