Carmelo Anthony Meets with Phil Jackson, Reiterates He Wants to Stick with Knicks

Carmelo Anthony

Why yes, Carmelo Anthony and Phil Jackson are still making headlines.

Anthony got his long-awaited meeting with the New York Knicks president on Tuesday, and the returns weren’t great. ESPN.com’s Ramona Shelburne has the deets:

The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski confirmed Shelburne’s findings, though he painted a more civil exchange between the two sides:

If Melo doesn’t want to ditch his no-trade clause, all speculation is moot. The only teams you can see him really wanting to join are the Los Angeles Clippers and Cleveland Cavaliers, and neither of them are putting together a package that makes it worthwhile for the Knicks to trade Melo.

As for what this means with regards to Jackson and Anthony’s relationship, we don’t know. Things between the two don’t appear to be going swimmingly, and unless one or both of them publicly offers support for the other, perception isn’t going change.
