NFT: Hmmm... melo possibly to the blazers?

his no trade for Portland.
He can not win a title right here in NY and keep his wife happy.
Anthony holds all the cards and he is not going to Portland

Unreadable.

pouting unless the Knicks trade him to Houston than yes he holds all the cards. But what happens if for once in the Dolan years the Knicks get smart and say screw it we're not trading you until we get back what we want. So get your agent to get us the deal we want from Houston or find somewhere else to go or you get a spot on our team until next year is over. Then we'll see if you're willing to opt out, lose your trade kicker and find another sucker team to pay you 23 million. If the Knicks wait Anthony will find another team for a trade. There is no chance he's giving up his money. That's all he's ever cared about.

Now that will be news. If he turns up the pressure, which I suspect he will, I would count on the Knicks folding like a cheap suit. Until I see them for the first time in the Dolan years be smart, I simply can not envision it.

When he never wanted to be traded in the first place.

No he just asked for a buyout. So he could get all his money plus a new contract and also play wherever he wanted. What a saint.

a malignant tumor. Unfortunately cutting out Anthony doesn't come close to getting it all and it's way too late to save the patient at this point. The Knicks are dead as long as Dolan is alive.

Time to play hardball.
