It’s important to understand that deals that should happen won’t, and deals that won’t happen will, all because the world doesn’t make sense.

He said earlier this week that he hasn’t thought about waiving his no-trade clause because Knicks management hasn’t discussed any potential deals with him.
LeBron James has been putting public pressure on the front office to sign or trade for someone. “How many guys do that?” Remember, when players are traded in the National Basketball Association, the money has to match. Now he is on the a year ago of his contract and if a rebuild is in the plans for the Knicks, his contract is much easier to move than Anthony’s.
Derrick Rose knows that if Anthony is moved, he and his one-year-contract would be the next big piece to move as the Knicks clear the decks. I’m not one to reason with the logic that would have Tony Snell starting over Jimmy Butler. So to me, it’s been team-wise, they haven’t been successful overall.
Brandon Jennings scored 23 points to lead the Knicks and spearheaded their comeback with 17 points in a 3:20 stretch between the third and fourth quarters.
“Listen what he’s done in this game … national championship at Syracuse as a freshman, that’s hard”. He continued to say that he wants to best for Anthony. “He’s had a fantastic career”. The teams being mentioned are the Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Clippers.
PF Kevin Love, Cavaliers – Love played a strong game for the Cavaliers tonight, taking full advantage of some of the shortcomings of the Knicks. We haven’t reached the All-Star break, and Hornacek has had to deal with Derrick Rose going AWOL for a day, a Jackson confidant writing how Anthony has worn out his usefulness in NY and the endless trade rumors about Anthony that Jackson won’t address.
Does it make sense for the Knicks to hold on to Carmelo Anthony until the offseason? One fan’s impatience was evident after a particularly bad shot. I can’t talk that much about it. He stated that Jackson either needs to pull the trigger on a trade or vocally state that this is Anthony’s team.
The Knicks clearly have their sights set on Love.
The deal paid off for a time.
James and Anthony met for the first time in a meaningful game when they were in high school.
LeBron James had 32 points and 10 assists, Love added 23 points and 16 rebounds in his return, and Cleveland beat the New York Knicks 111-104. “Anyway, we opened this game with the Cavs as a 6-point favorite on the road and have taken nothing but Cavs money to cover so we have since moved up to Cavs -7 with over 85 percent of the action on them to cover against the lowly Knicks”.
If Anthony parted ways with the Knicks, there would be a price to pay.
Soon it might be over.

“There’s still a lot more things I want to learn from Melo”, Porzingis told The News.
