All of this could’ve been avoided if Carmelo Anthony elected to play elsewhere. You know, a place where he could’ve realistically competed for a championship, which certainly won’t happen anytime soon in New York.
Over the summer, there’s been plenty of speculation of whether or not Melo will demand a trade. During practice today, the former scoring champion decided to speak on the issue.
Carmelo Anthony says "hell no" when asked if he thinks he'd get to a point where he'd ask for a trade this year. "I already came this far."

This is something Melo will have to answer all season long, especially if the Knicks are bad as expected.
