It has been a year and a half since the Denver Nuggets traded Carmelo Anthony and it’s interesting to see some of the movement (or not movement) with the players involved.

The trade involved three teams, 13 players, four draft picks and cash. Only five players remain with the team they were traded to and two players have since won NBA titles.

In the deal, the Nuggets received Danilo Gallinari, Raymond Felton, Timofey Mozgov and Wilson Chandler from the New York Knicks and Kosta Koufos from the Minnesota Timberwolves. They also got a second round pick from the Knicks in 2012 and 2013 and a first round pick in 2014.

• Gallinari, Mozgov, Chandler and Koufos are still with the Nuggets.
• Denver traded Felton to the Portland Trailblazers in a draft day deal which landed Andre Miller and Jordan Hamilton. The Blazers traded Felton back to the Knicks this summer.
• The Nuggets drafted Quincy Miller with the 2012 second round pick (which belonged to Golden State) that they got from New York.

The Knicks received Anthony, Anthony Carter, Chauncey Billups, Renaldo Balkman and Shelden Williams from the Nuggets and Corey Brewer from the Timberwolves.

• Anthony is the only player that is still on the Knicks.
• Carter and Williams left as free agents at the end of last season. Carter ended up on the Toronto Raptors and Williams on the New Jersey Nets. Both are still unsigned this off-season.
• The Knicks picked up Billups team option last year (they could have bought up him out for $3.2 million), but than used the amnesty clause on him to sign Tyson Chandler. They were stuck paying Billups $14.2 million contract last season while he played for the L.A. Clippers. Billups re-signed with the Clippers this summer.
• New York waived Balkman in February and used the roster spot to sign former Nugget guard J.R. Smith. No team has picked up Balkman and the Knicks are still stuck paying Balkman $1.7 million.
• Brewer was cut shortly after being traded to New York and then was picked up by the Dallas Mavericks, where he won an NBA title. The Mavs traded Brewer to the Nuggets with Rudy Fernandez in January.

The Timberwolves got Eddy Curry, Anthony Randolph and the Nuggets’ 2015 second-round pick.

• Curry was waived shortly after the trade and was picked up by the Miami Heat this last year. He also won an NBA title with the Heat last season.
• Randolph saw little time with the Timberwolves over the last year and a half, Minnesota also opted not to offer him a qualifying offer. He signed a 3-year deal with the Nuggets on Tuesday.

If you are keeping track at home, the Melo trade has turned into Anthony for Chandler, Gallinari, Koufos, Mozgov, Andre Miller, Hamilton, Randolph and Quincy Miller.

The Denver Nuggets have officially used the amnesty clause on Chris Andersen, their longest tenured player, on Tuesday.

The Nuggets also reportedly signed free agent Anthony Randolph to a three-year deal worth $6 million on Tuesday.

Andersen, who just turned 34 years old, was the final player left from Denver’s squad that advanced to the Western Conference Finals in 2009. He was also a fan favorite due to his energy on and off the floor. However, Andersen’s talent dropped off over the past few years and he was relegated to the bench down the stretch, partly due to his struggles and also to the Nuggets depth. Andersen is also the subject of a child-exploitation investigation.

The Nuggets will be stuck paying the final two years of Andersen’s contract which is worth around $9.3 million, but it also frees up a spot for Randolph.

The 23-year-old forward has greatly underachieved in the NBA. He is going into his fifth season in the NBA and has played for three different teams. He is an extremely talented athlete who has amazing skills for a 6-foot-11 player. But he is a bit of tweener, lacking the strength to play power forward and the range to play small forward. There are also questions about his drive.

Defensively, he is great at crashing the glass and blocking shots. But he is a mediocre defender overall.

Randolph spent last season with the Minnesota Timberwolves, who declined to offer Randolph a qualifying offer. He averaged 7.4 points in 36 games with the Timberwolves.

Ironically he was also part of the Carmelo Anthony trade. The New York Knicks dealt Randolph and Eddy Curry to Minnesota Timberwolves and got Corey Brewer back in return. Both Brewer and Randolph now play for the Nuggets.

In New York, Randolph was also teammates with Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov and Wilson Chandler.

Randolph will give the Nuggets some depth at power forward and small forward, especially with Al Harrington and Chandler dealing with injuries.
