After over a week of contemplating and speculating, Carmelo Anthony is scheduled to resign with the Knicks. The Brooklyn-born NBA superstar was courted by various NBA teams when he became a free agent at the conclusion of the NBA season. In the past season, he averaged 27.4 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. Because of his gifted basketball talents, he was heavily recruited by other teams. Organizations that he met up with were; the Chicago Bulls, Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers, and the New York Knicks. In the end, he decided to stay with the Knicks. Anthony will be signing a 5 year contract extension. The exact price has yet to be announced, but since the Knicks can offer him the most money, it will be
around $129 million.
With Mike Woodson gone as coach, it will be interesting to see how Carmelo Anthony and the Knicks fare with Derek Fisher as the new coach.
