Make It Happen

One way or another, Phil Jackson has to make a decision. Either he unloads Carmelo Anthony and builds for the future, or keeps Anthony until the end of the season.

The sooner Jackson can accomplish one of those goals, the sooner the Knicks can put the rumors to rest and start focusing on winning basketball games.

At this point, the Knicks and Los Angeles Clippers have been negotiating for the better part of a week now, and have to be far along in their trade discussions.

Make the trade happen or let it go.

Ironically enough, the Knicks host the Los Angeles Clippers at Madison Square Garden tomorrow night. Will it be Anthony’s final game in a Knicks uniform before waiving his no-trade clause and accepting a trade to LA?
