The New York Knicks are heading into the biggest off-season in team history.  There are a lot of rumors circulating on the internet these days.  All fans know about the Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving rumors, but Carmelo Anthony’s name is back in the mix.
Anthony has not ruled out returning to the Knicks.
Anthony, who owns the Knicks single game scoring record with 62, most recently had a stint with the Houston Rockets before parting ways.
Melo’s DeclineÂ
Anthony’s career started down hill after wanting out of New York.  The Knicks sent him to Oklahoma City, which was not a good fit.  Anthony was traded to Atlanta, bought out and signed with Houston.  Houston saw the problem as well and parted with Melo after 10 games.
With all the buzz about the Knicks getting big name free agents this off-season, Anthony’s name could be in the mix.  Could Melo reunite with the Knicks in a veteran bench role?
As nice as it would to see Melo back in a New York Knicks uniform, it might not be the greatest idea.  Anthony loves having the ball and control, we all know that.  However, if Durant and Irving do in fact come, it will be their team, not Anthony’s.
I could see Anthony having a problem with that and his overall role with the team. Why would it work in New York with Durant and Irving if it did not work in Houston with James Harden and Chris Paul? Â Or Oklahoma City with Russell Westbrook and Paul George? Â Deja Vu all over again.
We have our memories with Carmelo, the good and the bad. Â The Knicks are heading in a different direction for the better. Â It is best for both parts that we enjoy the time we had with each other.
