Carmelo Anthony will be on the court when the Knicks open the regular season Thursday in Oklahoma City, but he’ll be wearing the home white. Life without Melo will be about the same as life with him the last several years minus a lot of the drama.
Anthony and Phil Jackson are gone. Derrick Rose is too. The headlines for the Knicks this season should be mostly about basketball. But it may not be very good basketball.
If you’re looking for a silver lining, the Knicks have their own first-round pick in the 2018 NBA Draft.
This is a rebuilding year.
