Chauncey Billups believes Carmelo Anthony will remain with the Nuggets.

"He better, or he's going to have a problem on his hands when he sees me," Billups said when asked if he thought Anthony would take Denver's offer of an extension.

Sources close to Anthony have said that he expects to accept the team's offer of a three-year, $65 million extension.

"I'm hoping he does. I know Melo loves Denver, it's pretty much home and I think that he will (sign the extension)," Billups said. "But I've seen stranger things. ... All I can do is be hopeful."

The Nuggets are looking to re-sign forward Joey Graham, according to Chris Tomasson of FanHouse.

However, it might take more than the veteran's minimum for Denver to retain Graham.

The Jazz, Heat and Bulls are also looking at Graham.

Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post writes that Nuggets point guard Chauncey Billups will likely see his scoring average decrease this season.

The Nuggets have added forward Al Harrington, who will eat into the scoring averages of other players.

Billups averaged a career-high 19.5 points per game last season, largely because he had to.

The Denver Nuggets have re-signed Anthony Carter and signed free-agent Shelden Williams, team Vice President of Basketball Operations Mark Warkentien announced today.

Carter, 35, spent the past four seasons with the Nuggets, averaging 5.6 points and 4.5 assists in 204 regular-season games. In his 11-year NBA career with Miami, San Antonio, Minnesota and Denver, he has averaged 5.0 points, 4.0 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 566 games.

Al Harrington wanted to remain with the Knicks, but coach Mike D'Antoni had no interest in bringing him back.

"Hell no," Harrington said. "He definitely didn't want me back. That was the most obvious thing of all. We all knew that he didn't want me to be there."

Harrington agreed to a five-year, $34 million deal with the Nuggets on Tuesday night. For months, he was hoping that New York president Donnie Walsh would find a way to keep him.

He said a lack of communication with D'Antoni led to their sour relationship.

"Communication is the key with everything," Harrington added. "I respect people that tell you what it is. Don't tell me one thing and say something different to somebody else."

The Nuggets will add forward Shelden Williams and guard Anthony Carter, according to sources.

Williams spent last season with the Celtics, while Carter has played for the Nuggets for the last four seasons.

The Nuggets have agreed to terms with Al Harrington on a five-year, $34 million contract.

The Mavericks were also pursuing Harrington.

The Miami Heat announced today that they have re-signed forward Udonis Haslem.

Haslem was also pursued by Denver and Dallas.

"I am excited to be back," Haslem said. "It's a great opportunity to win. Miami has always been my home, and I'm happy I can play here for years to come."

Haslem has appeared in 517 career games (386 starts) with the Heat over seven seasons.

The Nuggets are amongst the teams looking to sign Udonis Haslem, according to a source.

Miami is attempting to re-sign Haslem, but the Mavericks and Nuggets can offer him more money.

The four-year, $18.8 million offer sheet that the Raptors signed restricted free agent Linas Kleiza to earlier this week is front-loaded, according to Chris Tomasson of FanHouse.

Kleiza said the first year of the offer is worth $5 million, a move made by Toronto to keep Denver from matching the offer.
