While the Nuggets still attempt to keep franchise player Carmelo Anthony in the fold by signing an extension, one player they are ready to part with is J.R Smith. Reports out of Denver state Smith, who is the final year of his contract, is being shopped alone and in trade packages. Many Nuggets fans worry that should Carmelo Anthony opt to not return, the team that showed so much promise over the past few seasons could look drastically different by the All-Star break this year.
The latest Carmelo news isn’t good for Knicks fans. Reports coming out of both Houston and Los Angeles state that the Rockets and Clippers may both have the upper hand as preferred destinations over the Knicks. While Houston may not have the pieces Denver would want back in a trade, the Clippers have plenty of young talent to send back to Denver, in hopes of linking up Anthony with Eric Gordon and Blake Griffin.
