Carmelo Anthony is excited to see how he can benefit from New York Knicks president Phil Jackson and head coach Derek Fisher's implementation of the triangle offense. However, he doesn't quite think that he'll see the full benefits of it right away.
Per a report by ESPN New York's Ohm Youngmisuk, Anthony believes the Knicks are still in need of a talent influx.
"For this season, right now, we have what we have," Anthony said when asked if he had the help he needs. "We're going to deal with that. That was a big discussion with me and Phil -- that was one of my things."
Anthony told Jackson that he needed help to shoulder the load at MSG. Jackson assured him that the team would give him exactly what he needs next season when the team has cap space to work with.
"I didn't want to have to do it night in and night out," Anthony stated. "I wanted some nights when somebody else can pick up the load. Right now, with the way we're playing [in training camp], I don't have to do everything. But we haven't played one game. ... So we'll see what happens."
Regardless of the growing pains that he believes could be coming in 2014-15, Anthony is a firm believer in what the triangle offense can do for him.
"It will be less pressure on me," Anthony said. "I can see that now in training camp. I feel that. I can see what we're able to do with the little bit of time we've been together this week. I see other guys' roles and how they're implemented into the system and what they're capable of doing.
"I think it'll be easier. It's still going to be a dogfight [this season], but I think it'll be a little bit easier where everybody is not keying in and focusing on me every single time down the court. Now you put the pressure on everybody else, have to guard their man and there's movement. It's a good thing."
