NBA professional basketball team season
The 2010–11 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.[ 2]
This free agency period, the Nuggets signed Al Harrington & Shelden Williams
