New York Knicks: Trade Is In Phil Jackson’s Hands, Not Carmelo Anthony’s

While many believe New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony has the final say on a potential trade, it’s Phil Jackson who’s in the power position.

As of today, trade talks are still in the preliminary stages. Despite the Cleveland Cavaliers declining a trade offer from the New York Knicks, Phil Jackson continued to pursue a trade, even if it didn’t include Kevin Love.

Despite rumors of trade talks with Knicks, Kevin Love doesn't expect Cavaliers to trade him. More here: https://t.co/UBFxIgFJdt

Given the Cavaliers’ current cap space situation, trading for Anthony without shipping Love is unrealistic.
