Melo is one of the few players in the NBA who has a no trade clause in his contract. So, he makes the final call on if he will be traded or not.
Rumors are swirling that he could be headed to the Cavs to team with LeBron. When asked about it, he gave two completely answers or two different occasions.
Here is the first thing he said.
“I think everybody always kind of dreams and hopes that they can play with another great player, another star player,” Anthony said. “It’s a star players league. I think that’s what we all talk about every time we get together. ‘I want to play with you. I want to play with you.’ Even here different guys say, ‘Come play with me, come play with me.’
“That’s always the mind-set. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it don’t. I think everybody that’s in my situation, in my position, they all want the load off, especially the older that they get. You realize that you just can’t do it by yourself. Everybody knows that. … They realize it just doesn’t work like that.”
When asked about it again, he was a little more direct.
“I’m not going anywhere,” Anthony told Sirius XM radio on Saturday.
Don’t believe anything that you hear, no one really knows what is going to happen, but the trade deadline is coming up soon.
