You know how it goes, when someone says it wasn’t about the money, 9 times out of 10 it was about the money.
Here is what Melo had to say to ESPN.
Carmelo Anthony said it was not the money, but instead his confidence in Phil Jackson and his belief that the Knicks “aren’t that far away from contending for an NBA title” why he opted to remain in New York instead of signing with the Chicago Bulls.
“I want to win. I don’t care about the money,” Anthony told ESPN.com. “I believe Phil will do what he has to do to take care of that.”
“I don’t think we’re that far away,” he added. “People use ‘rebuilding’ too loosely.”
They aren’t title contenders next year for sure, we have to see what happens when they are out of salary cap hell in 2015.
