When Phil Jackson presented his state of the Knicks address after firing Derek Fisher last month, he noted some guys were off the trade table. That included Carmelo Anthony, largely because of the perennial All-Star’s no-trade clause.
But suppose this summer, after missing the playoffs for a third straight year, Anthony says “Enough,” and waives his no-trade clause. What sort of market could the Knicks expect?
The consensus of a small, but representative group of NBA team execs and personnel types said there would be an interested, willing market for Anthony.
