And the free agency Carmelo Anthony talks continue. Will he stay or will he go?! At 9-21, I can understand why so many think he will go — but don’t we still have a little bit of time to turn things around (miracles do happen)?! I’m still not convinced he’s going to leave home. There’s no doubt that it could happen, but I’m hoping Melo will stay. #KnicksTape

Carmelo Anthony’s former teammate needed just a few seconds to ponder the question and deliver a definitive answer.

Anthony’s former teammate, who requested anonymity, echoed the thoughts of several people close to Anthony who believe he’s ready to leave.

Money still talks in the NBA, and it’s hard to believe Anthony will walk away from a lucrative contract.
