Anthony to Pistons rumors were nonsense

…Two weeks ago, news leaked out of Denver that the Nuggets were interested in acquiring Billups. Denver vice president of basketball Mark Warkentien called Pistons president Joe Dumars to apologize for the leak and a conversation ensued.
Warkentien confirmed that the Nuggets were interested in Billups and asked who the Pistons might be interested in. Dumars said Anthony. As the conversation progressed, Dumars added Prince to the discussion because, obviously, Prince plays the same position as Anthony.
Warkentien said the Nuggets weren’t looking to trade Anthony at that time, and asked if Dumars would be interested in Marcus Camby or Allen Iverson. Dumars said no. If the Nuggets wanted Billups, then they were going to have to give up Anthony.
The discussion ended there. Again, that was two weeks ago…
