Carmelo Anthony Denies Asking for Trade, Still Pondering Extension

Filed under: Bobcats, Jazz, Nets, Nuggets, NBA RumorsDENVER -- Carmelo Anthony claims nothing has changed since the start of the summer, a time when there wasn't rampant speculation he is about to leave the only NBA team he ever has known.

While leaving the Pepsi Center on Monday afternoon after having addressed reporters during media day, the Denver star forward said he feels the same way he did when he talked June 6 with FanHouse about how he wouldn't rush into deciding whether or not to sign a three-year, $64.7 million extension with the Nuggets.

"I'm taking my time,'' Anthony said in Monday's brief interview with FanHouse.

Asked if anything has changed since he said the night of Game 2 of the NBA Finals he might wait until after the season starts or even right up until the June 30, 2011 extension deadline to make up his mind, Anthony said, "No.''

Asked then if all the rumors surrounding Anthony about to dealt imminently are bothering him, Anthony said, "I'm just living, man.''
