Knicks' Phil Jackson says Carmelo Anthony 'better off somewhere else'
New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony "would be better off somewhere else," stated Knicks president Phil Jackson.
"We have not been able to win with him on the court," Jackson said. This is the first time he's made this clear of a statement in regards to Anthony's future with the Knicks. Per an ESPN report earlier today, Melo is "leaning strongly" towards waiving his no-trade clause.
Anthony averaged 22.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.0 3-pointers in 34.3 minutes per game this season. His .535 true shooting percentage was a slight improvement over the past couple years, but he still finished only 269th in the NBA -- tied with fellow 2003 draftee Dwyane Wade -- with a -0.7 nERD in 74 games played.
