Sources say the deal is on hold until New York determines what will happen with the Nuggets in regards to Carmelo Anthony. Denver is reportedly interested in acquiring Anthony.

Hip Hip Horray?

I thought I saw a blurb that the plan would be to waive Mason. It seems like they'd actually want Telfair in the deal since they still need a backup PG, right?

The possible inclusion of Randolph in a trade that would send Anthony to New York is the only reason Randolph hasn't already been traded to Minnesota for a late first-round pick. Outside of a three-way Anthony framework, Minnesota would take on Roger Mason ($1.4 million) and waive him as part of a one-on-one deal with the Knicks. That deal is on hold until New York and Denver decide whether they're doing business or not, according to a source.
