Anthony pleads guilty to reduced charge in DUI case

"I've been saying that until I'm blue in the face -- there's no plans to trade Carmelo Anthony," Andrews said Tuesday.

"It's a good relief. No one wants to hear about being traded, unless they're totally unhappy, and he's not," Andrews said. "He likes the fans, he likes the city, likes his teammates. It's a good environment for him to play basketball."

In court Tuesday, Anthony wore a dark-gray pinstripe suit, white shirt and silver-blue tie.

He arrived with his fiancée, LaLa Vazquez, holding his arm. Also in the courtroom were Nuggets coach George Karl, a few assistant coaches and Mark Warkentien, the team's vice president of basketball operations.

"We all got together last night and said we want to come out and support him," Karl said. "It's a tough time. It's time to learn from the past and move on to the future."

Anthony was pulled over on Interstate 25 on April 14. Denver police said he was weaving and failed to dim his lights, and then failed a series of sobriety tests.

The State Patrol said Tuesday that Anthony will participate in its "Alive at 25" program, aimed at encouraging good driving habits among 15- to 25-year-olds.

"It's a great organization," Recht said. "I think his very involvement will save lives."

Anthony has had numerous missteps since he was drafted by the Nuggets third overall in 2003. He was caught with marijuana in his backpack during the preseason in 2004, but the charge was dropped after a friend said the pot was his. He appeared -- but did not speak -- in a street video called Stop Snitching that warned people to not go to police with information about crimes.

Last season, Anthony drew a 15-game suspension for throwing a punch in a brawl during a game at Madison Square Garden.

With the DUI charge resolved, Andrews said, Anthony can concentrate on the Olympics.

"It's tough time when a guy is trying to focus on his career -- trying to put the negative things behind him," Andrews said. "Hopefully, this is the last of the negative news. Everything from here is positive on -- with the Olympics and hopefully bringing home a gold."
