The Denver Nuggets are “extremely upset” at the news that the New Jersey Nets will no longer pursue a trade for Carmelo Anthony, according to Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix. The Nuggets have put an amazing amount of time and work into negotiating with the Nets, finally allowing Anthony to meet with the Nets on Monday ( although a meeting never happened).
Nets Withdrawl From Carmelo Anthony Trade Leaves Denver Nuggets ‘Extremely Upset’
Denver’s front office is suddenly in a tight spot as far as Carmelo goes; its number of potential trade partners has dwindled, but not as much as its bargaining power. With Derrick Favors off the table, teams like the New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls know they have quite a bit less to compete with.
Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov has left people more than extremely upset in his time. It’s nothing new.
