In today's look into Knicks rumors and news, New York Knicks free agent Carmelo Anthony expects to make his decision in free agency by the second week of July, per sources close to Yahoo! Sports.
According to Marc J. Spears of Yahoo!, Melo "is expected to meet with the Knicks, Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers, Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks. There was no mention of the Miami Heat. Anthony hopes to visit the aforementioned teams in their respective cities during the opening days of free agency. At the moment, no other teams are expected to get a meeting."
While Anthony loves playing in the Big Apple, the changes at the top of the organization both in the front office and on the court are said to hold weight for Anthony's decision-making process during these pivotal coming weeks.
The Knicks can offer Anthony an extra year of security on a max contract, topping out at five years and $130 million. No other team can offer him more than four years and $96 million.
