Carmelo Anthony has been the subject of many trade rumors and on Monday Anthony hopes to put these rumors to rest.
ESPN is reporting, “The meeting is being initiated by Anthony, who has grown tired of hearing his name mentioned in trade rumors. His desire is to stay in Denver and he wants assurances from the Nuggets that they will not trade him. Anthony’s party expects to get those assurances on Monday, according to the sources. If the Nuggets don’t commit to building around Anthony — and instead demonstrate a willingness to trade him — he will ask to be moved. Believing he will remain with the Nuggets, Anthony has not put together a list of teams he wants to be traded to.”
The team that has been mentioned the most involving Melo is the Detroit Pistons who were rumored to have offered Chauncey Billups and Tayshaun Prince. Tayshaun is from Compton.
Update: ESPN reported that their own Chris Broussard was wrong, and that the meeting is about the DUI.
