NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The Knicks may be having second thoughts about trading Carmelo Anthony, but he’s reportedly set on leaving.
The Daily News reported Friday that Anthony wants the Knicks to finalize a trade to the Houston Rockets. Citing league sources, ESPN reported that, in the wake of hiring new general manager Scott Perry, the Knicks were “pausing” the trade talks and want to have a conversation with Anthony about “reincorporating him into the organization.”
The deal that has been in the works reportedly involves four teams. An executive for one of those teams told the Daily News that all sides are frustrated about the Knicks’ sudden hesitation to move the 10-time All-Star.
