Report: Carmelo Has Until June 23 To Let Knicks Know If He's Going To Opt Out
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.

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.
"I'd love to go back to New York," Ewing said Sunday on CBS Sports Radio. "I'm not sure what is going to happen in terms of who they're going to have fill that void. But if I get a call, I'm ready."
The NHL and NBA finals are set, the Mets took two from the Phillies, the Yankees are struggling and Patrick Ewing wants to be the next head coach of the Knicks -- quite a bit to talk about.
If Derek Fisher was being true to his word after the Oklahoma City Thunder's season-ending loss Saturday night, he began contemplating the next move in his career Sunday.
On Thursday night the Rangers made us party like it's 1994. And if you were alive and lucid in New York City back then, you recall the magic murmuring up the streets, from Herald Square to Harlem.
Phil Jackson is either in over his head or in complete control as general manager of the Knicks. Which is it? Knowing the man, most likely the latter.
The two met recently and Phil Jackson says he told Carmelo Anthony that "it might be a good idea to hang in here and see what it's like for a year."
The Houston Rockets and Minnesota Timberwolves will play at the Mexico City Arena on Nov. 12. The Milwaukee Bucks will face New York at The O2 on Jan. 15.
Los Angeles has the cap space to sign Anthony, but sources told the newspaper that the organization isn't exactly enthralled with the idea of pairing Anthony with future Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant.
The expansion team will be owned and operated by Madison Square Garden and will play its home games at the Westchester County Center in White Plains.
Chosen 11th overall in the draft, Michael Carter-Williams was the only unanimous selection to the first team, which also includes Victor Oladipo, Trey Burke, Mason Plumlee and Tim Hardaway, Jr.
The reason the Knicks have been one of the least successful franchises in the NBA over the past 13 years is because they have ignored defense. That needs to stop immediately.
