It was reported on Thursday that the Knicks have reached out to the Grizzlies about sending Mayo to Denver in a three-team deal that could ship Carmelo Anthony to New York.

The Knicks don't think Anthony will sign a contract extension with the Nets, giving them hope that they can swing a deal for the All-Star forward.

The Nets, Nuggets and Pistons are still engaged in talks on a 13-player deal that would send Anthony to New Jersey.

New York has tried to discuss a deal with Denver all season, but the Nuggets have been underwhelmed by what the Knicks have to offer, which has lead them to recruit a third team for a possible deal.

Sources also claim that Mayo, who has one year left on his contract, would not be happy with a trade to Denver.

Those clowns over there will suffer in the end, it seems like they want a bunch of high draft picks all top 5..they act as if melo is a sure nuff title once you get him.

I'm sure this will play out all season long

Nope its got one more month left my friend-- and if I was the Nuggets NO way would I let it run to the end--way too much can go wrong at the last moment. If the trade deadline passes--then they just have the team they have this year. Every day that passes their leverage shrinks.

The lockout is some pretty strong leverage in their favor. I personally don't see Melo holding out into FA.

i think a trade will get done but w/the Knicks... just my gut feeling... we'll see how the 3 sides play their cards.
