Multiple sources are reporting via Twitter that it's pretty much a "done deal," Knicks fans could expect their pride and joy, Melo BACK in New York this season!
CBSsports.com reports;
"The first big domino in free agency fell on Friday when LeBron James chose to return to the Cleveland Cavaliers over re-signing with the Miami Heat. Now the other big free agent has made his decision. Ken Berger of CBSSports.com has confirmed reports that Carmelo Anthony will re-sign with the New York Knicks. Anthony is expected to receive a five-year, $129 million contract to stay in New York as he remains the centerpiece around Phil Jackson's vision for rebuilding this roster into less of a joke and more of a contender."
"Anthony's decision to stay could be viewed as a money grab, considering he's earning $30 million more than anywhere else he can sign. With the Knicks being such a disaster last season due to coaching problems, roster issues, and injuries, it doesn't seem like the team is in any position to contend because they aren't. But just a year prior to the disasterous season, Anthony led them to 54 wins and the second round of the playoffs. There isn't any roster flexibility this season, unless a team is willing to take the contracts of big men Amar'e Stoudemire and/or Andrea Bargnani, but Jackson's vision for the future could be a quick turnaround after the 2014-15 season."
Knicks fans all over the New York tri-state area are RELIEVED since the news just broke, only minutes ago. This should be an exciting year for New York, with new head coach, Derek Fisher onboard, alongside their new president who came to the rescue at the end of the 2014 season, Phil Jackson.
