Carmelo Anthony

Carmelo Anthony, Small forward, Denver Nuggets, 7 years pro. He is a 22 point per game guy, his numbers have been dropping from last year. This is his last year on his contract and his performance has dropped. Last year he averaged 28.2 points per game. That is a six point drop, but Carmelo has been offered a contract extension of 3 years and 65 million dollars. He has a player option which would put him in line to make over 18 million dollars next season. But after getting married to Lala Vasquez he has been interested in going to the New York Knicks, Antony got married in New York and told the Nuggets no to the contract extension. No other teams want Melo because they know the 3 time all-star will only be with them the remained of the season. But the Knicks can have some concern about Carmelo Anthony going to a better team in the off season. Carmelo can be an improvement to the Hornets, who the Knicks are interested in there all-star point guard, Chris Paul. Will Paul,Anthony, going to the Knicks it would make one heck of a team. All though the Nuggets have other weapons on there team such as, Chauncey Billups (PG), J.R. Smith (SG), young speedy Ty Lawson (PG), and Nene (C). They don't have any great small forwards which is a vital part of winning in the Western Conference and let alone a championship, which the Nuggets have never one or let alone been to. The Nuggets are looking to do a sign and trade with the Knicks and maybe take young point guard Raymond Felton, and or young Wilson Chandler. The Nuggets have said that if Carmelo does not agree to play with the team for another season he will be gone by Feb. The Nuggets need a new face, if the face of there franchise leaves this season, or gets traded. As of now the Nuggets are on a 7 game winning streak, and holding a 13-6 record which is enough to have the 5 spot in the tough west. The Nuggets will need to find alternate scoring from other players because when Anthony leaves 22 points a game will be gone. Nene, and Renaldo Balkman have steeped up there scoring, but how long will this last? Denver needs someone new to come to the mile high city, and to fill the shoes of three time all-star Carmelo Anthony, the question is who will it be and when?
