Nets' Bid for Carmelo Anthony Stalled as Nuggets Seek to Shed Salary

Filed under: Knicks, Nets, Nuggets, Pistons, NBA Rumors

On this roller coaster we've all come to know as the Melo-Drama, the brakes were being applied by the Nuggets yet again on Monday just as they were back in September.

Once again, the deal New Jersey thought it had to land Carmelo Anthony wasn't enough. Once again, the Denver duo of 30-year-old team president Josh Kroenke and first-year executive Masai Ujiri was asking for more no matter how it affected their popularity. Once again, the question of why Anthony is letting the Nuggets wield the kind of leverage that should be his came into question.

Yet there was one major difference in the latest turn of this ride that has lasted so long now: the embattled new Nuggets' brass appears to be more in control than ever.
