Anthony’s desire to make a long-term commitment to the Nets started eroding when former Nets’ players related their experiences with an empty arena, the apathy of fans, and the team playing in the shadow of the Knicks and Madison Square Garden. Anthony was already concerned about joining a team in New Jersey that would not be close to contention even with him on board.

“He’s having second thoughts on Jersey,” a league source told Yahoo! Sports. “He’s pushed [Denver] to explore other options.”

While the Nuggets still believe the deal with New Jersey gives them their best return, Denver engaged the Knicks on Saturday in discussions centered around Danilo Gallinari, Anthony Randolph and Toney Douglas, according to sources.

My thoughts: Gallo, AR4 and Douglas ??? Hell no !!

just wanna keep all Melo talk in that other thread. Thanks.
