With Coach Karl gone due to neck and throat surgery at the end of the season and playoffs the Nuggets did not play to their full potential. Losing to the Utah Jazz in the first round.
Carmelo Anthony is an All-Star leading the Denver Nuggets in several records. This year will be his consecutive year with the Nuggets. They have offered him a 3 year extension to the 2014 season. He has not given the program an answer yet, stating that "he's taking his time and having a great deal of thought with consideration of his family and friends." There are hints of him rejecting the extension, since his mansion is now on the market. If he does reject the extension he will be the biggest name for the free agent market.
Carmelo Anthony is one of the BIGGEST names in NBA, he belongs with Denver and the people. He is my favorite player even though my favorite team is the Los Angeles Lakers. I think he should stay with Denver, he has an amazing career with them, plays well with the team, and gets along with Coach Karl. I highly think that he will not pull a Lebron James and will stick with his family in Denver.
What do you think? Will he stay or will he go?

I live in Colorado and to talk about my favorite team and about melo is just what I like to do. If you think about it melo is a ball hogger and we know the nuggets didn't get that in the playoffs after losing their first round to utah.melo should stay with his contract this year 10-11 season and if the nuggets go further in the playoffs than they did the past two years melo is stuck in Denver for his life because Denver is that good. It'd always been about melo and he thinks he's a good as he isreply
