‘Melo makes right move to stay put
Anthony will remain the centerpiece of the Knicks franchise, and no matter whether you’re a fan of the team or ‘Melo, it’s the smart move.
Anytime you risk losing an elite-caliber player like Anthony, it’s a bad move. His kind of scoring and leadership contributions are not easily replaceable, and cannot be substituted by a bunch of veterans. His talents are unlike most in the NBA, so retaining Anthony gives Jackson a true elite player to build a team around.
