EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New Jersey Nets may be getting a superstar after all.

After failing to lure either LeBron James, Dwyane Wade or Chris Bosh to New Jersey during the much-publicized free agency sweepstakes this summer, the Nets are engaged in trade talks to acquire Carmelo Anthony.

A person close to the talks who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak for the team told The Associated Press on Friday that the team was involved in very complicated talks with the Denver Nuggets for the small forward. The person added that nothing was expected to be decided on Friday.

Yahoo! Sports first reported the trade talks.
