Clippers have talked to Knicks about a Carmelo Anthony deal

PLAYA VISTA – While the Clippers took the court at their practice facility Thursday, the team found itself caught up in one of the NBA’s hottest current dramas.

Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks may be headed for a breakup, and the Clippers could be a landing spot for the nine-time All-Star.

The Knicks reached out to the Clippers to gauge their interest, and the teams had preliminary trade talks. Any deal for Anthony would likely include Austin Rivers, whom the Knicks tried to sign this past summer in free agency.

The talks were first reported by Yahoo’s The Vertical.
