    Take it for what it's worth, but the Wizards recently made an obligatory call to the Denver Nuggets to check on the availability of all-star forward Carmelo Anthony, a league source said on Friday. The source added that the Wizards were simply doing their due diligence and that the same phone call was made by "29 teams. Carmelo is pretty good."

    Multiple Internet reports have made it clear that Anthony is looking to move elsewhere. Anthony will earn $17 million in the final year of his deal, but has stalled all summer to sign a $65 million extension with the Nuggets, the only team for which he has played since going third in the 2003 draft.

    The likelihood of Anthony returning to play professionally near his home town of Baltimore is on the shady side of slim. Denver has told league executives that it is seeking a package of expiring contracts, future draft picks and young prospects in any cal for its franchise cornerstone.

    Perhaps Wizards are another team in the mix for Melo? What can they offer other than Wall?

    Arenas? He's a PG who's got one of the worst contracts in the league, he and J.R. Smith would shoot up the place

    He only asked what they could offer. They could offer Arenas.

    Expiring contracts? Jeffries, Battier
    Future draft picks? Knicks 2011 swap + Knicks 2012 (both first round)
    Young talent? Hill, Budinger, Martin (if they consider Martin to be "young")

    :grin:

    Not in the mix, at all. Classic non-news journalism.
