Carmelo Anthony was an unrestricted free agent after the 2019-20 season, so a potential reunion with the Knicks could have been on the table.
But the former Knick told reporters on Friday there wasn’t much to think about this possibility on his part.
“At this point, it wasn’t really much [of consideration],” Anthony said. “The Knicks were making moves and trying to figure out which direction they wanted to go. They hadn’t finished moving. I’m sure they have a plan. I don’t think coming in and trying to screw up their plan was good for both of them. set off “.
Anthony said he didn’t seem to fit in well with the Knicks’ “rebuild”.
“They are rebuilding and trying to figure out what’s in their near future,” Anthony said. “It was me personally who wanted to be part of a situation that I already felt comfortable in. I just finished playing with these guys [in Portland] two, three months ago. I felt it was the right solution right now when I am in this particular year. ”
