NBA professional basketball team season
The
2010β11
Denver Nuggets season was the 44th season of the franchise, its 35th in the
National Basketball Association (NBA). After half a season of rumors and speculation, the Nuggets granted
Carmelo Anthony his wish by trading him to the
New York Knicks on February 21 as part of a three-team trade with the
Minnesota Timberwolves .
[1] The blockbuster trade also sent
Chauncey Billups ,
Anthony Carter ,
Renaldo Balkman ,
Shelden Williams , and
Corey Brewer to the Knicks for
Wilson Chandler ,
Danilo Gallinari ,
Raymond Felton ,
Timofey Mozgov ,
Kosta Koufos , New York's first round pick in the 2014 draft and Golden State's second round picks in 2012 and 2013. Minnesota received Denver's 2015 second round pick,
Eddy Curry and
Anthony Randolph .
After the trade, Nuggets coach
George Karl said, "I'm glad its over. I'm glad it's an opportunity to reinvent", expressing relief at the end of the months of speculation preceding the trade.
