Carmelo Anthony would consider waiving no-trade clause

Five months after swearing his allegiance to New York and signing a five-year, $124 million contract, sources say Carmelo Anthony would be open to dropping his no-trade clause if team president Phil Jackson strikes a deal with a team Anthony would like to play for.

Part of Anthony’s deal included the rarely used no-trade provision.

For now, Anthony has no desire to be traded, but his willingness to consider giving up the no-trade clause shows how frustrated he has become with the Knicks’ historically bad start to the season.
