The ongoing stalemate that has been going on between Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks seems like it’s taken place ever since he signed his contract extension in the summer of 2014.
Melo, now 33, still has two years and around $56 million left on his contract. Despite his age and contract, he is still a borderline All-Star, and would command plenty of interest via a trade, except for the fact that the Knicks gave him a no-trade clause in his contract.
Throughout the season, he rejected most efforts to trade for him, and it seemed that the Los Angeles Clippers and Cleveland Cavaliers would be the only teams he would accept a trade to.
