This disaster of a season for the Knicks can’t possibly get worse? Or can it? There’s a gift and a curse about playing in New York. When you’re doing well, everyone loves you. But being in such a huge market opens you up to rumors and reports more so than smaller markets.
A few days ago there were reports swirling that Carmelo Anthony and Tim Hardaway, Jr. nearly came to blows, and now ‘Melo has to deal with reports that he’d be willing to waive his no-trade clause because he’s fed up with New York. Take this with a grain of salt, as reports can materialize into nothing.
Five months after swearing his allegiance to New York and signing a five-year, $124 million contract, sources told The Post the All-Star forward would be open to dropping his no-trade clause if team president Phil Jackson strikes a deal with a team Anthony would like to play for.
Part of Anthony’s deal included the rarely used no-trade provision.
For now, Anthony has no desire to be traded, but his willingness to consider giving up the no-trade clause shows how frustrated he has become with the Knicks’ historically bad start to the season.
