Carmelo Anthony decision
Anthony’s Allegiance Not
Written in Stone
The New York Knicks have optained some key players this offseason to help the organization and Anthony win a must needed championship, that hasn’t been seen in the big apple in over 40 years. As this season approaches the elephant in the room must addressed, which is that Melo’s 2 year contract is over. He can decide to “sign a contract in February or wait and opt out in July.” When asked the question Melo responded with a statement that would “soothe” the nerves of New York, Melo stated that he’s “not going nowhere”
February comes Melo will most likely “opt out of his Knicks contract” then come July he’ll “sign a five-year deal for $129 million and happily resume his role as the prince of Broadway”. Melo has every reason to stay with the Knickerbockers. He’s got “the money, the market” and my personal favorite “the chance to be the savior who ends the Knicks 40-year championship drought” On the other hand a lot can happen in ten months, and Melo didn’t only leave Denver because of basketball reasons, he also left because of all the “opportunities” and “outlets” so from a business stand point alone he may stay. However when “all the fashion shows are over” and “all the shoes have sold” he is still an Elite basketball player, who wants to leave a legacy and not only be remembered by just the shoes. In the NBA the level of success is measured by championships and being able to lead your team to the very end and win it all. This is where his decision may change. New York went “7-14 in the playoffs since Anthony arrived” After a couple of first round exists, being swept by Boston and then only winning a game to the Heat , the Knicks made history this year Winning the Atlantic Division and making it to the conference semi-finals. Unfortunately losing to the Indiana pacers 4-2 where Melo had an incredible scoring performance that night. The worst part is the Knicks might have “peaked” as all their rivals have grown.
