Carmelo Anthony deal may be near resolution

LOS ANGELES -- Carmelo Anthony is expected to know "in the next 24 to 48 hours" if the Denver Nuggets will accept a trade that would move him to the Knicks , a person with knowledge of the situation told Newsday Sunday. The Nuggets, another source said, have been given the Knicks' final offer and want the situation resolved.
"Everyone does," said one person involved in the ordeal, which was a dominant theme throughout All-Star weekend.
In a three-team deal, the Knicks would send Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari and Raymond Felton, a future first-round pick and $3 million in cash to the Nuggets in exchange for Anthony, veteran guard Chauncey Billups and two other players, who were identified by CBSSports.com as Shelden Williams and Anthony Carter. The Minnesota Timberwolves will take Eddy Curry and Anthony Randolph from the Knicks and, according to reports, send Corey Brewer to the Nuggets.
The deal would include Anthony signing a three-year, $65-million extension. According to CBSSports.com, Carter would also have to waive his no-trade clause.
The Nets reportedly have a deal in place that includes rookie Derrick Favors and four first-round draft picks going to Denver in a three-team trade, but multiple sources with knowledge of the situation say Anthony, even after meeting with Nets officials on Saturday, remains reluctant to sign an extension to go to New Jersey. Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov, who attended the meeting, admitted in an interview Sunday with CNBC's Darren Rovell that he decided to get back into negotiations with Denver just to keep pressure on the Knicks.
