Sources: Carmelo Anthony likely to leave Denver after this season

All signs continue to point toward the eventual divorce between Carmelo Anthony and the Denver Nuggets.

League sources say it is now a matter of when, not if, Anthony and the Nuggets will go their separate ways.

Anthony is weighing whether to sign a three-year, $65 million extension offered by the Nuggets. His dilemma, league sources say, is what affords him the best chance of continuing his career elsewhere. Anthony could sign with Denver and convince the team to then trade him. His other option would be to not sign the extension, thereby forcing the team to move him rather than risk losing him next summer as a free agent.

During his annual basketball camp in Colorado on Saturday, Anthony said he had no timetable on when he'll decide whether to sign the extension.

In either case, "he's going to make it real clear that he's not coming back," said one league source.

But both Nuggets owner Stan Kroenke and Anthony already are well aware that they don't have a future together, sources say. That became clear to Kroenke at a reception after Anthony's July 11 nuptials to La La Vasquez in Manhattan.

Anthony's agent, Leon Rose, could not be reached for comment and the Nuggets declined to comment.

But obviously, anything can change from now until next summer...

He's outta there. David Stern fuged the league up when he allowed the Garnett trade to Boston and the Gasol trade to LA. Giving the 2 "storied" franchises a boost so they could compete for titles has his stars wanting more than to just be "the man" for small markets that have no chance to win in his league.

???? What, was he supposed to tell them they couldn't do the trade b/c it would probably make them better. If both teams agree it's all fair.

Both trades were lopsided and gave those teams 2 of the best big men in the game. And once again you had 2 of the worst franchises in the league trading their best player to 2 of the best and most storied franchises in the game. Look at Memphis and Minnesota since, havent been in the postseason. Look at Boston & LA. 3 rings & 5 Finals appearances since those deals. Boston & LA should've given up more than they did.

Memphis is probably one move or two away from making the postseason, even though they truly did get ripped off in the Gasol trade.

Meanwhile, Minnesota is just a classic case of terrible management. We're talking about the same team that picked two PG's in the first round two years ago (one of whom won't see any NBA action for the next few seasons) and the same owner who gets fined for making comments about his own player's marijuana use.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      The same folks crying about the OL right now were crying about it in 2023 too. We have tied up over 100 million dollars in two interior olinemen alone. We've invested multiple first and second round picks in the offense. We hired an offensive minded head coach. This is an offensive team. The offense needs to produce or people need to be replaced.

      This is the same place that has ridiculed and blasted Caleb Williams at every opportunity he has his team sitting at 10-4 in the same NFC that the Panthers are competing in. And their division in the NFC North is as or more competitive as our division. Yet from the same people who have very high standards for Williams we get every excuse imaginable for the smallest starting QB in the league even when he and his team continue to disappoint when the pressure is on. You lot aren't any less inconsistent than anyone else.

      The Panthers are 9th in cap spent on offense this year.  However next season is already a different story  The Panthers as it stands right now will be 18th in cap spent on offense and 8th in cap spent on defense  The Panthers are currently set to spend more on defense next year than they are on offense this season Guys like Jaycee and Moehrig cap numbers take a big jump. Wharton has a massive cap hit   Jaycee Moehrig and Wharton in 2025 The same 3 in 2026 So this same defense as it stands right now will cost more in 2026 than this offense does right now… Got anything else you want to try?
