Denver Nuggets allow New Jersey Nets to speak with Carmelo Anthony

The Denver Nuggets have given the New Jersey Nets permission to speak with Carmelo Anthony, according to TNT analyst David Aldridge:

"A league source said Sunday that the Denver Nuggets have granted the New Jersey Nets permission to speak directly with Carmelo Anthony about the proposed trade that would send Anthony to New Jersey, and about potentially signing the three-year extension that the Nets insist Anthony agree to before they agree to make the deal."

"Prohkorov, according to league sources, believes he can sell Anthony on the Nets if he can get in front of him."

Let’s hope Prohkorov is right.
