Carmelo Anthony Admits Opting Out Next Summer Is 'Big Risk'

Filed under: , ,

Carmelo AnthonyDENVER -- Carmelo Anthony admits it's a "scary'' proposition.

If the Denver star forward opts out of his contract next summer, he stands to lose tens of millions of dollars if a new NBA collective bargaining agreement severely curtails minimum salaries.

"It's scary,'' Anthony said after the Nuggets' first practice of the season on Tuesday about the uncertainty of a new CBA. "Of course, it's scary. There's a lot of anxiety to see what's going to happen.''

With that in mind, Anthony admitted it would be risky to opt out of his contract next summer. But then he said it's not all about money.

"It's a big thing. It's a big risk,'' Anthony said. "But at the end of the day, it's about basketball. Money is money. Money's going to be there. It's about basketball.''
