Time is a four-letter word.
But so are talk and hope.
While Carmelo Anthony apparently doesn’t want to talk about extending his stay with the Knicks, who feel time is on their side, another team, Portland, emerged with hope of landing the 10-time All-Star.
Anthony apparently would prefer to be a Houston Rocket last week, but the Knicks, with a new front office in place, will not be rushed into doing something just to get something done, a league source maintained.
All the attention has been focused on Houston and Cleveland as Anthony’s desired landing spots.
