The worst kept secret in the NBA is that Carmelo Anthony wants a trade away from the New York Knicks. New York wants the ten-time All-Star out of town as well. That isn’t stopping Anthony from interacting with his Knicks teammates over the summer.
We knew he was playing pickup ball with guys like Tim Hardaway Jr. and Frank Ntilikina, but now we hear he’s in touch with the Euro Knicks too.
European basketball journalist David Pick reports that Melo is watching EuroBasket 2017 and “sending texts of encouragement” to teammates Kristaps Porzingis, Willy Hernangomez, and Mindaugas Kuzminskas.
