After the New York Knicks dispatched the Los Angeles Lakers 92-80 on Sunday afternoon, Carmelo Anthony had a very succinct message about how the Knicks need to approach the remainder of this 2014-15.
“The time is now. The time is now to kind of start building for the future. I don’t think we can wait,” Anthony said. “Not just for my sake. Just in general, I think the time is now. The window is now. I think we’ve got to take advantage of that.”
Head coach Derek Fisher understand fans' desire to see the team accelerate their current rebuilding process, but wants to do things right by Anthony, the players, and the organization by being measured.
“I understand our fans and the city wanting to hurry up and get to a championship. We obviously want to win. That’s what we’ve done in our past. We still have to be smart,” Fisher said. “We owe it to Carmelo to do it the right way. At the same time he just signed a contract for five years, he’s 30 years old. We don’t have 10 years to figure this out."
