But after making the playoffs in just three of his 6+ seasons with the Knicks, Anthony, instantly joins one of the few teams capable of competing with the Warriors this season.
The Knicks, with a healthy Carmelo Anthony, will not be as terrible again on the court. Carmelo’s presence alone over a full season is a guaranteed 25-30 wins.
There’s a third option that the win-now Knicks would never consider, but would probably be the best move for both the Knicks and Carmelo’s career: trade him to a contender or a team that would benefit from his scoring ability.
or us, we recruit so uniquely. With coach’s zone, and our system, length and athleticism are at a premium. When we’ve been really good is when we’ve had length, athleticism, and really skilled players.
In an offseason where Melo’s top priority was winning, he chose to re-sign with the New York Knicks, whom he believes has no shot at winning this upcoming season. Makes sense, right?
