http://ppt.cc/gY(@ The Summer of LeBron has made way for the Season of Carmelo, as the Denver Nuggets superstar has dominated the headlines for the past five months with endless speculation about whether he will be traded to the New Jersey Nets, if the New York Knicks are willing to wait for him to enter free agency, or if he will just sign a three-year, $65 million extension to stay. The Nuggets have too much talent on their roster to let the rumors surrounding Carmelo Anthony keep them from winning games, and while the uncertainty has certainly affected his play at different times this season, it seems like the all-star forward is enjoying the drama. It's his turn to get courted, to get showered with affection, to have teams make pitches to acquire his services. The reaction to his clumsily veiled trade demand hasn't been completely positive, as a once faithful fan base in Denver has reacted to his wandering eye with anger and/or apathy. Anthony has been noticeably fatigued and conflicted through the experience, but if you don't think that Anthony is reveling in the solo spotlight, even if slightly, then you haven't been paying attention to the sly grin as he answers questions about his situation. He couldn't hold back the smile as he coyly deflected inquiries about how he has omitted the Washington Wizards -- the team closest to his hometown of Baltimore -- from his list of four desired locations to continue his professional career. "I never really heard about the Wizards being interested in me. That's real talk. I never heard that," Anthony said with a smile, even though he knows full well that Wizards were one of many teams around the league that contacted the Nuggets when he appeared reluctant to sign an extension with the team last summer. "I never really thought about it, honestly, the Wizards," he said. A person close to Anthony told me recently that the 26-year-old forward didn't want to play for the Wizards because the team is "too close" to home. I've had that confirmed from several people who have spoken to Anthony. The recent failures of the Wizards and rebuilding plans could also be a deterrent, but for whatever reason, he never saw himself playing for the franchise that's closest to his backyard. "They not giving Baltimore no team," Anthony said after scoring 23 points in a 120-109 win over the Wizards. "This is D.C., though, not B-more." Anthony revealed to the Denver Post's Benjamin Hochman on Tuesday the list of places where he would sign an extension and that includes New York, Chicago, Denver and yes, New Jersey -- despite Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov's decision to back out of their highly-publicized pursuit of the three-time all-star. The Nets have supposedly been "close" to acquiring Anthony twice in potential blockbuster deals that collapsed as Anthony wavered in his desire to sign an extension with them. 详文见网址 大意很像就是MELO很像没兴趣来巫师.........怎会这样!!! 有谁英文比较好的可以完全看懂整篇文章吗.....??? 2011 01 26 09 00 By Michael Lee | January 26, 2011; 9:00 AM ET --
