Carmelo Anthony denies rumors he's unhappy with Knicks: 'It's all false' - Syracuse.com
Carmelo Anthony wanted to set the record straight about what he thinks of the New York Knicks' offseason. There have been several reports that the former Syracuse University star was unhappy with team management, including Phil Jackson for selecting Kristaps Porzingis with the fourth overall pick in the NBA Draft and the team's free agent pickups. "I never said that s---. Whatever rumors that you guys heard about me or about Phil (Jackson), about Porzingis, about anybody -- it's all false," Anthony said Tuesday in Las Vegas at Team USA minicamp practice in Las Vegas. "Honestly, I thought we did a great job just as far as putting the pieces that we need to put together," Anthony said. "We didn't get DeAndre (Jordan), we didn't get LaMarcus (Aldridge) and Greg Monroe. "But (Robin) Lopez is a great addition," Anthony said. (Kyle) O'Quinn is a great pickup. As for the draft, Anthony said no matter who the Knicks selected it would have been an issue with the media and fan base. "Whoever we drafted, it was going to be an issue anyway," Anthony said. "That's just what happens in New York and the draft. I'm excited about the new team that we have and I look forward to leading them. Did the speculation that Anthony was unhappy bother him. Because I haven't said none of that," Anthony, who is entering the second year of a five-year, $124 million contract, said. Source: www.syracuse.com
