Apparently Ron Artest heard some bad things from the Nuggets last year, most likely second or third hand, when they decided not to trade Eduardo Najera and Linas Kleiza for him. As a result not only does he not want to be traded to Denver, but he will not consider the Nuggets should he become a free agent after next season.

Of course, this is the same guy who, a day after the deadline passed for opting out of his contract, changed his mind and decided he made a terrible decision so only time will tell if Artest really has made up his mind about the Nuggets.
