Carmelo Anthony said on Wednesday that he doesn’t want to be traded by the New York Knicks.
“I don’t want to be traded,” Anthony said after the Knicks’ morning shootaround. “I don’t know where that foolishness came from, so let’s put a cap on that and make (sure) this the last time I hear about that.”
According to a report in Wednesday’s New York Post, Anthony would welcome a trade from the Knicks. The newspaper said Anthony told a confidant after the Knicks’ loss in Chicago Monday that he wanted to be traded. The report also said he was unhappy in part because he believed coach Mike D’Antoni and interim general manager Glen Grunwald do not trust him.
“No, no, no, no. Let’s nip this in the bud right now. No,” Anthony said, calling the report “nonsense.”
“I don’t know where that came from. I’m tired of hearing it. It came out this morning from I guess an anonymous source. I’m tired of anonymous sources,” he said.
