Anthony didn’t want Smith on Knicks: source

One thing you can’t blame Carmelo Anthony for is the J.R. Smith signing, The Post has learned.

Contrary to popular belief, Anthony was leery of the Knicks bringing in his former Denver teammate three weeks ago and gave a thumbs down to upper management, according to a person close to the Knicks superstar.

Publicly, Anthony said all the right things about Smith, who was fined $25,000 by the NBA Saturday for tweeting a photo of a partially naked woman in his Milwaukee hotel room.

A couple of weeks before the signing, Anthony was asked if the Knicks should sign his former teammate who has a thuggish reputation. Anthony and Smith share the same agent, Leon Rose.

“If it happens, it happens and I’ll be happy,” Anthony said publicly before the signing.

But, according to the source, Anthony was not gung-ho and was “hurt’’ Knicks upper management tossed his advice out the window.

Yesterday, Smith, who entered the game shooting 38.2 percent, was 4-of-13. Asked about the NBA’s punishment, Smith said, “I’m not really worried about that. We got to get it right as a team. We can’t worry about off-the-court stuff. Our issue right now is on the basketball court. Until we start winning games, that’s all I’m going to worry about.’’

Interim GM Glen Grunwald, when he spoke to the media for the only time this season, said Knicks personnel director Mark Warkentien, who was the Nuggets GM when Denver traded for Smith in 2006, was the most “instrumental’’ in signing Smith, who didn’t join a huddle in the second half in Milwaukee Friday.

* In his return from a hamstring strain and wrist issues, Tyson Chandler, who shaved his long beard, played 39 minutes and scored eight points with 12 rebounds.

“I’m not myself right now,’’ Chandler said. “I”ve got to help my team and battle through injuries.’’

well i think its pretty evident that at least donnie didnt want to make that trade otherwise i think he would still be here

Conjecture. I have never heard Donnie or MDA say they were against the trade.

Fair point but there is a flipside to that coin how do we know they were happy about it?

We don't. That would be conjecture as well.

i was kidding. i agree with you we dont know since we are fans and are not in the offices of the knicks management. Calm down man

Do you/can you say that you are kidding or posting for every false quote or mis-statement that you put forth?

The deal took so long cuz Walsh had no plans to overpay for Melo. MDA had faith in the guys we had and i'm positive that he really didn't want to let Gallo go. Still you would NEVER hear MDA say publicly that he was against a move the org. made. I mean come on now!!!

You just have to use your head a little to figure out what is fairly obvious. Has MDA EVER like selfish players??? What are the principles of his system? It's not a selfish player style of offense and works well with giving stars and a bunch of team oriented players.

Nixluva, you say things as if you were/are part of the contingent. I do not like stating things as fact if I don't know them to be fact. You can say that it is your opinion but not fact based on logical or illogical conclusions.

MDA does not - not like selfish players. That type of hybrid guard forward does not fit into his system.

Would Kobe have fit? Be honest please ...
