On ESPN.COM, Chris Broussard writes "the agent for Carmelo Anthony says the Denver Nuggets have told him they will not trade the two-time All-Star forward this summer. ‘He's not going to be moved,' Calvin Andrews said in a telephone interview Sunday. ‘It's not happening. We've been given assurance s from the owner on down.' Speculation about a deal involving Anthony began in May when reports surfaced that New Jersey had had exploratory talks with Denver about a trade for Anthony. While the likelihood of a trade to the Nets was never high, executives around the league said Nuggets coach George Karl was indeed ready to move Anthony. They added that Denver's management group is divided over Anthony's place within the team, saying that while Karl is willing to trade him, general manager Mark Warkentien and club advisor Bret Bearup are against a deal."
