I knew it was only a matter of time before the Carmelo Anthony trade rumors pendulum swung back the other way—because that’s what a pendulum does, thus the analogy, jeez, I don’t know why I had to explain this to you all—but it happened more quickly than I thought.
When Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Melo trade talks were on hold last week, one of the common theories was that the Knicks simply wanted to give Scott Perry a few days to settle in before resuming talks. Well, tonight’s report from Frank Isola of the Daily News all but confirms that was the case.
