How the Carmelo Anthony trade scarred the city of Denver

Andrew Feinstein, Nate Timmons and myself have the unique and very absurd experience of being the sole writers at Denver Stiffs during what became known as the Melodrama. When star player Carmelo Anthony made it known to the Denver Nuggets front office that he would like to be traded, and refused to sign an extension that was presented to him (3 years $66 million).

Rather than go over the many mistakes and would’ve/could’ve of Melo’s tenure here in Denver, it’s probably best to talk about the aftermath of the trade. And how it set-back the perception of NBA basketball in the Mile High City.
