A year after the New York Knicks inked franchise face Carmelo Anthony to a five-year, $124 million contract, team president Phil Jackson has used this summer's wealth of cap space to build around his lone superstar.
Now the question is whether that star approves of the organization's strategy, and it's a question that could determine how much longer the Melo era lasts in NYC. Current indications require no shortage of speculation, but they aren't particularly promising.
According to the New York Daily News' Frank Isola, Jackson said he hadn't spoken with Anthony since this month's commencement of free agency.
