The New York Knicks hosted Carmelo Anthony for parts of seven years, and his run with the team only ended in 2017, just two full seasons ago. One stint each with the Oklahoma City Thunder and Houston Rockets later, he is without a job and long after free agency’s start.
Anthony’s name recently became a topic when his trainer, Chris Brickley, said the future Pro Basketball Hall of Famer wanted a farewell tour like Dwyane Wade just had, noting the game-to-game jersey swaps.
Speculation-only surrounded Anthony’s potential return to the Knicks, the team that always welcomed him, despite an unceremonious few years when Phil Jackson was in charge.
