Carmelo Anthony says last week's sit down with Phil Jackson "went well." But if he's already made up his mind about free agency, he's not saying.
Carmelo Anthony is not going to be a Knick next year. I know it's a hard pill for many Knicks and Melo fans to swallow, but it's inevitable.
According to the New York Post, the 'Bockers are interested in using their mini mid-level exception on soon-to-be unrestricted free agent Patty Mills.
Perhaps it's blasphemy, but 20 years ago today, the Knicks really became peripheral, secondary to the primary event of the night, year, and decade.
Mike Breen had the play-by-play call on WFAN back in 1994, when Game 5 of the NBA Finals between the Knicks and Rockets took a back seat to a white Ford Bronco.
On Saturday, a Twitter user asked Knicks guard J.R. Smith if he would continue talking to Anthony if his teammate signed with Miami. Smith didn't mince words.
Dirk Nowitzki would welcome the seven-time All-Star in Dallas with open arms. "If Carmelo really would love to come here, we'd love to have him," he said.
Anthony is still expected to go through with his plan to opt out of the final year of his contract before the June 23 deadline. That would make him a free agent on July 1.
It's too soon to say whether Melo will bolt for greener pastures. But the Knicks superstar will be testing free agency unless he has "a dramatic change of heart," according to the Daily News.
Carmelo Anthony just wants to win. And a chance to team up with the Miami Heat's Big Three could be too good to pass up.
That doesn't leave much time for the 30-year-old forward to make up his mind, unless of course he already knows what he's going to do.
For all we know Derek Fisher is the next Red Auerbach. But no matter the GM, hard work or the hypotenuse of Phil Jackson's famed triangle offense will make MSG a winning culture.
I feel much better about the hiring after hearing Fisher speak. It's clear he's something different, and maybe something special.
With things looking rather bleak for the Rangers, it was the Knicks who garnered the majority of Boomer and Craig's collective attention this morning.
The New York Knicks hired Derek Fisher as their new coach on Tuesday, with Phil Jackson turning to one of his trustiest former players.
Will Derek Fisher be the next great Knicks coach? I have no idea. No one does. But he's the guy Phil Jackson thinks can lead this team. That's all the matters.
So the Knicks actually think the Jason Kidd nouveau-coach experiment worked in Brooklyn this past season?
The Knicks appear to have a new head coach. Yeah, we know you've heard that one before. But Knicks President Phil Jackson looks like he got his guy this time around.
He's probably Plan E or F, but Rick Fox says he is indeed on Phil Jackson's radar.
Does Mark Jackson want the Knicks' head coaching job or not? Would it even matter if he did? Those are some legitimate questions considering the situation at Madison Square Garden.
James Dolan says he has an appreciation for just how difficult it is to build a championship team, which is why he hopes he has in Phil Jackson what he's had for years in Glen Sather -- someone who knows what he's doing.
I don't care about hockey. I might not even watch any of the games. But if the Rangers win the Cup, it would mean James Dolan is capable of being an owner of a championship team.
Jackson told reporters last week that Fisher is "on my list of guys that could be very good candidates" to coach the Knicks next season.
If I were Anthony, I wouldn't opt in either. That is legitimate life-changing generational money that simply cannot be put at risk.
