Carmelo Anthony Would Consider Trade If New York Knicks Prefer Rebuilding

Carmelo Anthony has publicly admitted that he would consider accepting a trade if the New York Knicks decide to rebuild for the future.

Through weeks of trade rumors and speculation, Carmelo Anthony has remained committed to the New York Knicks. His goal has long been reported as living, playing, winning, and raising his family in New York, and he isn’t ready to give up on that dream.

If the Knicks decide that a long-term rebuild for the future is the right path to follow, however, Anthony would consider waiving his no-trade clause.

Anthony remains committed to the organization and hasn’t shown any signs of quitting on his team. As the Knicks fall further below .500, however, the potential for a trade is the primary topic that the media has presented Anthony with.

According to Al Iannazzone of Newsday, Anthony himself stated that he would consider accepting a trade if the Knicks prefer a rebuild for the future.

That’s as massive a development as any in 2016-17.
