"The Utah Jazz are involved in a potential four-team trade that would send forward Andrei Kirilenko to Denver in return for Charlotte forward Boris Diaw, multiple sources told The Salt Lake Tribune on Friday.

Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor would not comment when asked about the deal.

Denver forward Carmelo Anthony is at the center of the trade, which ESPN first reported. But Anthony - who has declined a three-year, $65 million extension with the Nuggets - must first agree to sign an extension with New Jersey for the deal to go through, a league source said.

However, the proposal has moved past the preliminary stage and has "serious legs."

"This is real and it could very well happen," the source said.

The Tribune was informed Friday night that Anthony was leaning towardagreeing to the trade, although details were still being worked out.

The Jazz would trade Kirilenko and his $17.8 million expiring contract to the Nuggets, with Utah obtaining Diaw, who is set to make $9 million each of the next two seasons. The Jazz reportedly would also receive New Jersey guard Quinton Ross."
