[Introduction] on February 4th, how does a team rebuild around a player who has played in the league for more than 12 years and is over 30 years old?
The New York Knicks are trying to set an example for the league.
Anthony
When Phil Jackson renewed his contract with Carmelo Anthony for $124 million over five years in the summer of 2014, perhaps New York was ready to demonstrate the method of “reconstruction at an advanced age” to everyone.
“I think we should choose to rebuild for Anthony,” Derek – Fisher said, “He just signed a five-year contract, and he is 30 years old, we don’t have 10 years to solve everything.
For us, we’re in a situation where — ‘We’ve got to make some good decisions, and the sooner the better.’ At the same time, we can’t recruit the kind of people that got us into the situation we’re in today.
team, and players with huge contracts (Amal Stoudemire, who was about to step into the wine tub, accidentally slipped and smashed his $5 million bathroom—including his
a tub full of red wine).”
Anthony also agreed, he said: “It’s time for us to rebuild. It’s time to build the future. We really can’t wait any longer. Not from my point of view, but from the general law of the team.
Rebuilt. Now is the time to rebuild, and we have to seize it.”
The Knicks hold at least the top five picks in their draft picks, and will have $30 million in salary space this summer.
There will be Marc Gasol, LaMarcus Aldridge, Rajon Rondo, Goran Dragic, Draymond Green, Greg Monroe and Wes on the player market.
A star above the level line of Leigh Matthews.
The Knicks will be able to sign a max-salary player, but they may decide to put their salary in 2016 and wait for the opportunity to sign Durant.
The New York media agreed that Carmelo Anthony will “perform surgery” after the All-Star break.
In other words, Anthony will complete a feat: “go into battle with injuries” when the injury is not serious, and “perform surgery” when he can “go into battle with injuries”.
In 2011, Anthony was tired of being out in the first round in Denver year after year, so he chose to come to the Knicks to help New York rebuild.
