LOS ANGELES -- It's looking more like New York or bust for Carmelo Anthony.The chances of the New Jersey Nets getting Anthony do not appear high and Anthony sure didn't sound like someone Saturday with much interest in remaining long-term with Denver. That would leave the Knicks to try to complete a deal with the Nuggets by Thursday's trade deadline.
Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov said through a spokesperson Saturday he had no plans to meet here during All-Star Weekend with Anthony, and Anthony also said he had no plans to meet with Prokhorov. However, the New York Daily News reported that the two met Saturday night in Los Angeles. ESPN.com later confirmed the report, and reported Anthony was noncommittal after the meeting.
Regardless, it still doesn't appear Anthony has much of a desire to sign a contract extension with the Nets. Sources told FanHouse on Dec. 20 that Anthony had no interest in signing long-term with the Nets, and there has been no indication anything has changed.
What looks to have changed is any public stance Anthony has made about wanting to remain long-term in Denver. Anthony's stock line has been that remaining with the Nuggets is one of his options and he said Feb. 9 he would "take a hard look'' at that if not dealt by the trade deadline
