Carmelo Anthony Decision Must Come Soon

The Denver Nuggets have offered forward Carmelo Anthony contract worth more than $64 million over just three years. It seems the Nuggets have decided that they would prefer to get this business done rather than have a LeBron James like departure at the end of the season. The Nuggets are a solid team but they have very few players that can lead their team into the future. Trading Anthony is one way to change that. Moving Anthony, their biggest star will hurt the popularity of the franchise in the short term. But there are teams out there willing to make big moves to acquire a star of his caliber.

The New York Knicks have to be considered but are not the only trade possibility. The Cavaliers Nets, and Clippers are probably just as interested. I imagine a couple of young players and a bunch of first round picks could get the deal done. But Carmelo Anthony has to turn down the money first. I know I wouldn't.
