The Nuggets reportedly rejected a trade offer from the Pistons that would have sent Tayshaun Prince and Chauncey Billups to Denver for Carmelo Anthony, according to The Detroit Free Press.

The Nuggets want to bring Billups back to his hometown while the Pistons are looking to acquire the services of Anthony to help shake up their roster.

ESPN.com initially reported the story, also saying that the Nuggets countered the rejected deal with an offer of Allen Iverson or a package including Marcus Camby. However, the Pistons only seem interested in acquiring Anthony.
