These 12 big men could be on the MU Legend Zen | Say Hello & Introduce Yourself | Forum

Anthony did opt out and, despite flirtations with several teams, re-signed in New York for five years and $124 million. But even at the time, some within the NBA Live Mobile Coins organization felt that Jackson would have been happier had Anthony agreed to sign elsewhere, that he was uncomfortable with starting his tenure running the team with such a big commitment to Anthony.

TRADE RUMORS: These 12 big men could be on the MU Legend Zen block With less than a month to go before the league’s trade deadline, Jackson is trying to see if he can accomplish now what he could not accomplish then: ridding the Knicks of Anthony and starting over with youth.It is what Jackson would have preferred from the beginning, knowing that the style of play he wants to employ with the Knicks is incompatible with Anthony’s ball dominance.

But Jackson won’t find a deal for Anthony easy to come by. For one thing, Anthony’s contract (three more years, with an option, at $58 million) is prohibitive. For another, Anthony’s advancing age and diminishing skillset have dented his value.And there is Anthony’s no-trade clause. He would have to agree to any deal the Knicks concoct, and while he might be receptive to joining friends with the Clippers (Chris Paul), Cavaliers (LeBron James) or even Bulls (Dwyane Wade), it would be harder to persuade Anthony to go to, say,

Boston or Houston.Jackson is already finding that the return on Anthony is not going to be commensurate with his star power. Anthony is still averaging 22.7 points per game, along with 6.0 rebounds. He does, among some league executives, carry a good reputation for the way he performed for Team USA in the three most recent Olympics, and some hope that he can transform his style of play with a winning team.
