Carmelo Anthony is prepared to spend the prime years of his career in New York, the Daily News has learned.

A person close to Anthony told The News on Wednesday that barring a last minute change of heart Anthony will re-sign with the Knicks after "agonizing over this" for the past week.

"He will have something for everybody on Thursday," said the friend who was with Anthony before Anthony's scheduled workout with Kevin Durant and Kevin Love in Los Angeles on Wednesday. "He is really torn because this is the biggest decision of his career. But he wants to get it done in New York. He told me he believes in Phil."

Isola can be an asshole at times, but he usually is clued into anything Knicks related. So....we'll see.....

Bout time. I knew it all along. Pieces starting to fall into place.

LeBrons turn

[Le Shaqtus]

So that's one less contender in the East.

[AnaheimLakers24]

stopped reading at "a person close to anthony said"

[IncarceratedBob]

Lol now Knick fans pretend to want this scrub

[SamuraiSWISH]

There goes Chicago's title chances. Melo's as well.

[lakerspng]

no official source? just a person close to him believes that he will choose the knicks... a little thin.

[Le Shaqtus]

There goes Chicago's title chances. Melo's as well.

As much as I wanted Melo to the Bulls, he was never gonna go there.

Would actually love to see reporters call each other out like this. Would be so much more entertaining.

Melo bringing LeBron with him

[-Lebron23-]

Few are surprised at this stage. Teams were pretty much moving on already.

Lol at a trade bringing Calderon and Dumblembert convincing Melo to stay. He is taking the money, which is the smartest business decision, no need to mask it with that BS

[crisoner]

Wow all that was said was Melo's "friend" says Melo believes in Phil. That's it. But now dozens of people are running with he will return to the Knicks?

Actually it's you that is. She didn't tweet anything out about Melo.

Sorry but LA's gotta find someone else to carry your boy Kobe.

[bagelred]

I like how every team wanted Melo so badly and all this speculation, but now that he's resigning with Knicks, he sucks again. :oldlol:

[rufuspaul]

Yeah. I think what he meant to say was "I trust Benjamin". Hopefully it turns out better for him than "I trust Billy King and Joe Johnson" :roll:

well Ramona is right .. most of the time isola is full of shit

[talkingconch]

He isnt going to win a ring there. money talks.

And according to Woj, he may still demand a trade after signing the contract.

[Hey Yo]

Michael McCann ‏@McCannSportsLaw 20m

If Carmelo re-signs with Knicks and lives in NYC, he'll take home $66.7M over 5 yrs, after federal, NY & NYC taxes:

If he would have chosen Chicago he would have made only about 13mil less. This article shows the breakdowns of tax money etc...as to how much he would NET if would have chosen NY, Chicago, LA, Miami or Houston.

Within Anthony's circle, belief's been this, sources tell Y: Get NY's $129M now, figure out destination later. You can always get a trade.

Fine with me. We'll get a sick package of assets for him. :oldlol:

I'm thinking we trade him to Denver for Gallo, Chandler, Mozgov, and a 1st rounder.

He is a great player, but damn it you signed a player to a new contract and the first things out of his camp you hear are: I did it for the money and if we stink in 18 months I

.

Guess its all about the dolla'-dolla' bills y'all. All this talk about taking less money or wanting to win is all BS. Only played with Phil to that max contract. Either way he ain't winning there unless LeBron joins him.

[CHi1PriDe]

Damn sh

[Hey Yo]

well Ramona is right .. most of the time isola is full of shit
She didn't even tweet about the situation. Incarcerated troll just made it up, like all of his posts. He's mad that Melo's not coming to LA.

[Rameek]

Not quite. Those assets can be very little depending on the team.

[bagelred]

Not quite. Those assets can be very little depending on the team.

Then he doesn't get traded.

Carmelo Anthony's agent Leon Rose tells ESPN that "he hasn't made a decision yet" on Knicks/Lakers.

..

[Rameek]

Chicago butthurt begins

[Da_Bulls_23]

There goes Chicago's title chances. Melo's as well.

Not necessarily. At the end of the day, Bulls title aspirations has always depended on Rose's health. They just need scoring and someone to provide spacing, while he would've provided that by himself. They still can get his productivity over several players. Key is to get quality and the right players...

[FireMcFailPlease]

So we can write off the Knicks from winning anything for the next 5 years.

nba.com just carrying the story from the Daily News. Melo's agent stated that he has not made a decision between the Knicks/Lakers yet.

[Rameek]

Depending on what LBJ (Bosh Spice) does its probably in this order...

Miami, NY, LA....
