Sources: Phil Jackson meets with Carmelo Anthony, asks star if he wants to stay with Knicks
New York Knicks president Phil Jackson met with Carmelo Anthony on Tuesday and asked the star forward if he would like to remain with the team, sources close to the situation told ESPN. Anthony reaffirmed to Jackson his desire to remain with the Knicks, a source told ESPN. The meeting took place after Anthony's public comments earlier this week about a critical column written by a confidant of Jackson's. Several members of the organization believe that it's best for the Knicks and Anthony to part ways at this point, league sources told ESPN's Ian Begley.
