    http://sports.yahoo.com/news/sources...184612252.html

    [QUOTE]Anthony had direct questions for Jackson and coach Derek Fisher during a Thursday meeting in Los Angeles, and Anthony's increased confidence with the Knicks' direction

    Just reputation damage control, all melo cared about is the dollar amount. He don't give a damn about winning, hoped knicks would move on from him

    The Knicks are nowhere close to being a good team. He is just taking the money it appears.

    This is not only bad news for the Lakers, its even worse for the Bulls and Rockets because they would be true contenders next year.

    Add to that Pau will bolt to OKC which means Spurs road to a repeat got even harder. Imagine going through Clippers, OKC and then possibly Miami.

    Not surprising at all, considering how Lala would want to stay in NY.

    He probably feels the money is worth it to trust in Phil Jackson. That and the fact he likes New York. If Jackson wasn't there and the Knicks were in shambles like they were last year, he'd probably be more inclined to leave.

    He's a Top 10 player in the league, and best Knick since Ewing

    Also, if Phil and co want to make compelling FA pitches in 2015/16, they will need a superstar already on the books. He's their guy. He can help recruit the stars.

    Bulls and Rockets will be fine next year with or without him.

    The stars melo would be able to recruit would all be losers. Birds of the same feather flock together, there's a reason melo has played with jr, Kenyon Martin, ai all his career, they are all thug wannabes

    Yeah, me too. Not the best basketball fit but whatever, he'll still be a Knick legend and make big money.

    The thing is, if he really wanted to go to Chicago he could eventually force a S&T and get right around the 4 year 96 max.

    He just wants the money and To stay in NYC.

    Can't wait for the Bulls to whoop the shit out of the Knicks next season.

    Bulls are still amnesting Booz and getting at least 11 mil to spend.

    Bulls will target Love and possibly Stephenson. Mirotic negotiations are happening now as well since he's bought out from Madrid.

    Bulls are still good just wanted Melo terribly.
