Knicks president Phil Jackson has made it abundantly clear to anyone within earshot that he’d like to move Carmelo Anthony off of the Knicks as soon as possible. Now, a report from Marc Berman of the New York Post has detailed how Jackson’s incessant discussing of his desire to ship Anthony out of town has drastically reduced Anthony’s trade value, and as a result potentially the team’s ability to trade the star scorer.
Berman spoke with a handful of NBA executives regarding Jackson’s critiques and thinly-veiled shots at Anthony over the past year and, most general managers admitted that Jackson has shot himself in the foot as a result.
