Im not suprised. He didnt get to go to Yankee games with KP, and Grant loves Jesus more than "building his brand."

When Melo says something publicly or isnt a good soldier we will see what happens. Until then its all knee jerk.

Carmelo Anthony not happy with Knicks drafting Kristaps Porzingis: source
BY FRANK ISOLA NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Friday, June 26, 2015, 12:29

Carmelo Anthony is upset with Phil Jackson's decision to draft 19-year-old Kristaps Porzingis, telling a close friend "are we supposed to wait two or three years for this guy?"

A Knicks source claims that Anthony called Tim Hardaway Jr. after Hardaway was traded to Atlanta for the draft rights to Jerian Grant to express his displeasure with Jackson's moves.


"He doesn't understand it," the source said.

ESPN's Stephen A. Smith said on SiriusXM radio that Anthony feels "betrayed" by Jackson, who last summer signed him to a 5-year, $124 million contract.

Knicks officials are aware of Anthony's feelings about the moves.

Early Friday, Jackson was asked if he thought about Anthony when picking Porzingis and said: "Carmelo's always on my mind. He's our favorite son."

Anthony, who turned 31 on May 29, had season ending knee surgery in February and will be ready by the start of training camp.

Melo shouldn't have re-signed with the Knicks if he thought a 37 win team that just traded Tyson Chandler for nothing was going to become a contender again quickly.

This is exactly what I was talking about. Smh. Why did we resign Melo if we plan to rebuild...smh
Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

We've seen Melo the GM before in action with his CAA driven transactions...that failed miserably.

Melo needs to play nice for at least a few more weeks and let Phil work through free agency before he voiced his displeasure.

i could care less if melo doesn't like it. melo gutted the team to get here and then shouldnt have resigned here if he didnt want to be part of a rebuilding effort.

isola is pathetic, can't close to the knicks so he buddies up with melo and is his mouthpiece.

To me, honestly, the second we traded Tyson it signaled rebuild. I think Melo was thinking it'd be more of a "reload"... which it still can be in FA... we'll see...

I seriously hope the focus of free agency is on building the team of the future. Melo can ask for a trade if he doesn't agree. Not that anyone would actually want his baggage

Even last summer the word was that Melo's people told him to sign the Knicks deal, get the most guaranteed $$$ and if it didn't work out, get a trade done. He's always selfish and he always paints himself into these corners.

Heck, he painted himself into a corner with how he came to NY in the first place. Knicks could have signed him flat out and had Felton, Wilson, Gallo, Mozgov, Amar'e, Melo here... sigh.

Any melo fan out there. Is this the comments of a leader? This is disgusting what a traitor

This might actually be a good thing. Maybe he will force a trade.

Isola likes the pick at 4.

Anthony has to know that anything he says would get out. He allowed this to happen.

" A knicks source claims.........."

Isola takes a lot of liberties with a lot of stuff. This "knicks source".............C'mon!

Maybe this is Phils way of leaking it and put it out there without having to put it out there......Know watta I mean????
Chicago can win the east with Melo and Rose. Rose and Butler don't mix.

I'm actually ok with Phil signing him last summer..... Now when he leaves the knicks will get something back for him.

If he just left last summer. It would of been a waste, we would be exactly where we are now but minus the biggest trade chip this organization has had in decades.

Seems that Melo is too dumb to understand that taking the super max and building a "brand" in NYC meant playing on a crappy team. Now he's complaining? Lol.

I've never been a huge fan of Melo but I've felt as a Knicks fan I at should at least hold my nose and hope for the best. It's funny, my first reaction to the Porzingis pick was disappointment but I quickly got over that and hope for the best and hope that he develops into the franchise player that he is capable of becoming. If these comments by Melo are for real, F him, ship him out somewhere. I'm tired of holding my nose and waiting for this guy to grow a brain. It ain't happening.

Everyone in the Knicks organization is told specifically not to talk to Isola. Dolan hates Isola with a passion and tries to cut off all his access. So he's got to be vague.

At this point, I'd be fine trading Melo. Get at least two #1 picks for him and a young guy who has at least starter upside and move on.
