Despite the collective bargaining agreement expiring soon, it is in Denver’s best interest to re-sign Carmelo Anthony. They always seem to put together a team that can get into the playoffs, but they do not go far. With Nene not getting any better, and Billups getting older, the Nuggets are not even going in the right direction. But to have a superstar locked up long-term would be beneficial to a team that cannot afford to go back to its miserable losing days.

George Karl, not long after spending a week in the hospital dealing with complications from his battle with throat and neck cancer, said he’s feeling better and plans to return to the Denver Nuggets as coach next season, The Denver Post reported.

“I’ll be excited to be back on the bench — that’s what I do, that’s the dream,” Karl told the newspaper Thursday.

Karl completed a six-week treatment of chemotherapy and radiation for throat and neck cancer in April. He has also been hospitalized twice for blood clots since starting the regimen.

Karl was discharged last week after spending nearly a week in the hospital for the clots.

“I don’t see that happening,” Karl told The Post when asked if there was a situation where he would not return, “but I am going to put my health first, and come next fall, if the doctors don’t feel it’s a wise thing and I don’t think it’s a wise thing, [then we'll reevaluate]. But my feeling is the exact opposite. We’re in a good place, the steps have been good, the tests have been good and I’ve just got to keep plugging away every day.”

Denver would have secured the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference with a win over Phoenix on Tuesday.

Carmelo Anthony scored 29 points to lead the Nuggets.

The Suns made 14 of 24 3-pointers, 11 of 17 in the first three quarters.

Phoenix jumped to an 18-2 lead and the Nuggets never cut it to single digits after the first quarter.

The Suns can finish no worse than No. 4 in the West and would be No. 3 if they win at Utah tonight.

Phoenix, winner of 13 of its last 15, led by as many as 23 in the second quarter, was up 70-49 at the half and led 97-70 after three.

An embarrassment. A humiliation. Losing to a team so bad it is being compared to the worst squads in NBA history barely a month into the season.


“I would have liked to have come out of this with a win, and I would have said the same exact thing, but I think we did need this,” Chauncey Billups admitted afterward. “I don’t like losing, but I think we needed this.”

It was as if Billups had hopped a time machine and returned to the team he joined a little more than a year ago — a team of individual showmen, a team of one-on-one players, a team that thought it could shoot its way out of any hole, no matter how deep.

And why not? It had been doing it throughout this season’s first month. As if reliving its early run- and-gun days, the Nuggets went into Sunday night’s game second in the NBA in scoring at more than 109 points per game, five more than they averaged a year ago when they became acquainted with the concept of defense.

The power forward left the Miami loss in the second quarter, and he watched Saturday’s loss at Atlanta from the sideline. Barring any setbacks, he will play tonight at Chicago, where the Nuggets (5-2) have lost the past three seasons.

“We’ve got to get back to playing the way we’re capable of playing,” said Martin, who is averaging 10.0 points and 6.3 rebounds. “Not playing was so frustrating, man. I put a little bit of that burden on myself.”

Anthony hit a jumper with 4:26 left to tie it at 85, then added another to give the Nuggets their first lead since the second quarter.

It stayed close with the teams trading free throws. But Portland started to have trouble at the line and Nene hooked a shot and Denver led 95-91.

Brandon Roy`s bank shot narrowed it again, but LaMarcus Aldridge continued the Blazers` free-throw woes by making just one of two.

This team is taking the every day sessions with a professional approach Karl has never seen from a Nuggets squad during his tenure. And that has him practically giddy about the possibilities ahead.

“The compliment I give to them is we’ve had more ‘A’ practices in this camp than any camp I’ve had with this team,” said Karl, in his sixth year with the Nuggets. “Practices at times in the past have been hard. They’ve been pulling teeth. There seems to be a professional respect towards the training camp (this year) that ‘Hey we’ve got to get better.’

The Denver Nuggets could make this move because of the Traded Player Exception worth about $10 million they received from last year’s move of Marcus Camby to the Los Angeles Clippers
for a second round pick. They also owned three other TPEs worth a combined $4 million. Together, Afflalo ($1.1 million) and Sharpe ($0.7 million) will not use much of the exception at all (if they used the large one). Since the TPE can be used partially, the Nuggets still retain over $12 million of TPE to use for future moves.

But when Hispanic Business magazine named him to their 100 most influential Hispanics list last year, it was Anthony who was surprised. “I didn’t really expect to be on that list,” said the 24-year-old NBA superstar over the phone from Denver. The reason, he says, is that many of his fans don’t recognize him as Latino.
