Carmelo Anthony confident Knicks will not deal him before trade deadline
Print Edition
Carmelo Anthony said on Friday he knows “for a fact” the New York Knicks won’t trade him, and he added he’d be open to staying with the team for less than a maximum contract.
Anthony has said he plans to become a free agent this summer. The NBA’s trade deadline is on Thursday, but Anthony ruled out any chance the Knicks would move him to avoid the possibility of losing him for nothing in July.
“I know for a fact I’m not being traded,” Anthony said at the NBA’s All-Star weekend.
New York can pay him around US$30 million more than any team, but Anthony said he wouldn’t insist on it.
“As far as the money, it don’t really matter to me. If I go somewhere else I get paid, if I stay in New York I get paid,” he said. “My concern is being able to compete on a high level, at a championship level coming at this last stretch of my career.”
The Knicks aren’t doing it now. They are 20-32, one of the league’s biggest disappointments after winning the Atlantic Division last season.
Anthony is having a strong season, however, ranking second in the league with 27.3 points per game, while also averaging 8.6 rebounds.
