DENVER (AP) — After months of constant trade speculation surrounding Carmelo Anthony, Denver Nuggets fans have pretty much accepted the notion the All-Star forward will soon be leaving.
Harder to digest is the realization he might be taking hometown hero Chauncey Billups with him.
Billups’ name was dragged into this Melo-drama over the weekend in the most recent round of trade chatter, a proposed three-team deal involving Detroit and New Jersey and at least 13 players.
The point guard has long maintained he wants to stay in the Mile High City, but acknowledged after morning practice Tuesday the situation was well beyond his control.
