The agent for Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony shot down trade speculation Wednesday, saying recent media reports are based on "bad information."
Calvin Andrews of BDA Sports Management said the Nuggets are "not shopping" his client despite reports the team has had preliminary talks with the New Jersey Nets.
"He was caught off-guard, getting all these calls and seeing his name in talks about getting traded," Andrews said.
According to reports out of New York and New Jersey, the Nets and Nuggets have discussed parameters of a deal involving Anthony and Marcus Camby.
Anthony, who turns 24 on May 29, is entering the second year of a five-year, $78.9 million contract. When he signed the deal in 2006, he was under the impression the team would keep him in the loop regarding free-agent signings and trade talks.
"That's why he was so bent out of shape," Andrews said.
After talking with the Nuggets, Andrews expressed confidence Anthony won't be traded.
