Carmelo Anthony

If the New York Knicks end up parting ways with Carmelo Anthony before next season, it’s probably because they agreed to a buyout—or, less likely, because a suitor gave into trade demands that are ridiculously hard to meet under the circumstances. This seems to be the sentiment emanating out of the league, since the Knicks [...]

With Phil Jackson gone, Carmelo Anthony has, ostensibly, won the war for New York. So now he’s ready to leave. According to ESPN.com’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the New York Knicks’ All-Star forward is finally ready to waive his no-trade clause—provided he’s sent to the Cleveland Cavaliers or Houston Rockets: Carmelo Anthony, a 10-time NBA All-Star, is [...]

As The Hoop Doctors’ own Ryan Bawek discussed on Wednesday, the Houston Rockets are trying to get a third star to pair with James Harden and Chris Paul.

With the Cleveland Cavaliers two losses away from falling to the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals, the Carmelo Anthony speculation was bound to start up again.

New York Knicks president Phil Jackson is really good at his job—provided his job is to destroy the market value of his best assets.

Why, yes, the relationship between Mike D’Antoni and Carmelo Anthony during their brief time together with the New York Knicks really was that bad. So bad, D’Antoni quit. And he clearly, and finally, admitted as much to ESPN The Magazine‘s Tim Keown: In New York in 2012, after Anthony said the team needed to choose between him [...]

If the New York Knicks do, in fact, trade Carmelo Anthony before next season begins, it won’t be to the Miami Heat. Mostly because the Heat have no interest in entering the Melo sweepstakes that aren’t, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald: One person in touch with the Heat said he does not expect a Heat [...]

If you’re wondering whether Carmelo-Anthony-to-the-Los-Angeles-Clippers scenarios will die in light of the team’s uncertainty heading into this offseason, here’s your answer: LOL, no. In the latest episode of Melodrama, some NBA executives told the New York Post‘s Marc Berman they believe New York Knicks team president Phil Jackson should deal Anthony in a sign-and-trade for J.J.

Michele Roberts, the executive director of the National Basketball Player Association, still isn’t cool with how New York Knicks team president has treated Carmelo Anthony.
