Carmelo Anthony’s name continues to be tossed around in trade rumors, most recently ones involving the New York Knicks. For now, though, he’s a member of the Denver Nuggets. When asked by Fanhouse’s Chris Tomasson about the possibility of staying in Denver, Anthony said that it does remain an option.
Carmelo Anthony On Possibility Of Re-Signing With Nuggets: ‘It’s An Option’
"Yeah. That's keeping my options open,'' Anthony said when asked if re-signing with the Nuggets remains one of his options. "Yeah (it's an option). When that time comes, we'll discuss that.''
Anthony is a free agent after the season, and the Nuggets have a three-year, $65 million contract extension on the table if he wishes to stay in Denver. However, he’s yet to give any actual indication that he wants to do that, which explains the trade talk.
When asked whether he would be a member of the Nuggets when the season started, Anthony said he would be.
"I'm pretty sure I will,'' Anthony said of expecting to still be with the Nuggets for their regular-season opener. "That's a week from now. I'm here now.''
That doesn’t exactly sound like a ringing endorsement to me.
