NEW YORK (Reuters) – Four-time All-Star Carmelo Anthony will join the New York Knicks in a nine-player deal with the Denver Nuggets, the NBA's website reported Tuesday.
"He wanted to be in New York and we worked with him and his people," a Nuggets team source was quoted on NBA.com.
"We worked it out. It's a win-win. You never get fair value for a player like that, but we have to move on as an organization.
"I don't think the fans have gotten the true Nuggets this season" with the constant distractions.
There has been speculation about Anthony's future throughout the season with the Knicks well understood to be his preferred destination.
The 26-year-old, Brooklyn-born Anthony will team up with fellow All-Star Amar'e Stoudemire in what is the latest concentration of power in the NBA.
