Tennis Player Coco Vandeweghe Calls Carmelo Anthony 'Soft'
"I just feel that Carmelo, he is a bit soft. And now, this is just my own personal opinion, I think he is soft. I don't think he has a killer instinct in his eyes, at least this last year."

"I just feel that Carmelo, he is a bit soft. And now, this is just my own personal opinion, I think he is soft. I don't think he has a killer instinct in his eyes, at least this last year."
The Milwaukee Bucks have landed their big man, and the Knicks are left searching for one.
There are still plenty of useful players available that can help the Knicks build for the future in different ways, whether it be in free agency or via trade.
Carmelo Anthony's former teammate will sign a $16 million deal with an opt-out option after next season, CBS Sports' Ken Berger reports.
Despite approximately $27 million in cap space, bringing a marquee free agent to New York could be a hard sell after the Knicks' franchise-worst 17-65 finish.
Sign the best available players that could be good assets, and provide the team flexibility as it tries to make moves over the next couple of years to get back to relevance.

Ideally, anyone joining the Knicks should be younger than 30, play both ends of the floor and be a good value. Let's take a look at the options.

Phil Jackson tried to placate his pricey player, then announced to the rest of the world that Melo is not the Knicks' franchise. Is change coming? Time will tell.
"Phil is a legend. For me, being able to learn from him and just be around him will be great from a learning standpoint."
Melo, without a title and perhaps past his prime at 31 years old, is apparently less than thrilled with the selection of Latvian rookie Kristaps Porzingis.
The Knicks might have turned a corner on Thursday night. For the first time in a long time, they actually acted like a real NBA organization with a long-term plan.
The 19-year-old Latvian had been surging up draft boards but Knicks fans wanted no part of him, booing lustily after his name was called by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver.
It'll take time -- perhaps years -- before we can call the selection a home run or an air ball. Here's what we know right know about the Latvian mystery man.
Knicks fans didn't like their team's first selection in Thursday night's draft. But the boos turned to cheers when New York traded guard Tim Hardaway Jr. for No. 19 pick Jerian Grant.
Kentucky center Karl-Anthony Towns, Ohio State guard D'Angelo Russell and Duke center Jahlil Okafor were off the board when New York drafted.
Soon-to-be NBA player Kristaps Porzingis would love to play for the Knicks, and he hasn't been shy about saying so.
Draft night is finally here. Knicks fans went through the worst regular season in team history, and this is the payoff.
