Phil Jackson: Carmelo Anthony 'better off somewhere else' (http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/19159149/carmelo-anthony-better-somewhere-else-phil-jackson-says)
Phil Jackson indicated that the New York Knicks (http://www.espn.com/nba/team/_/name/ny/new-york-knicks) will continue to explore trade options for Carmelo Anthony (http://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/1975/carmelo-anthony), saying that the All-Star forward "would be better off somewhere else."
Jackson addressed reporters Friday, two days after the Knicks completed their fourth consecutive losing season. New York went 31-51, falling well short of preseason expectations bolstered by the team's offseason additions of Derrick Rose (http://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/3456/derrick-rose) and Joakim Noah (http://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/3224/joakim-noah).
"We've not been able to win with (Anthony) on the court at this time," Jackson said. "I think the direction with our team is that he's a player that would be better off somewhere else and using his talent somewhere where he can win or chase that championship."
