Now the Knicks really can launch their youth movement as training camp opens Monday.
New team president Steve Mills and his right-hand man, general manager Scott Perry, can author future blog posts about the Knicks’ young core, and when they don’t mention Carmelo Anthony in their future essays, they won’t be accused of a crime of omission. The triangle offense is gone, and so are Anthony and Phil Jackson as Knicks employees.
Anthony is Oklahoma City-bound to form a new Big 3 with Russell Westbrook and Paul George. And with that trade of Anthony, the Knicks’ young core of five has ballooned to seven.
