Anthony wants to retire with Knicks

In an interview with TNT before the Bulls' 82-81 win over the Knicks, Carmelo Anthony said he wants to remain with the New York franchise.

"They pulled all the strings to get me here, and I wanted to be here, you know," Anthony said in the television interview. "And I want to retire in New York, let's be quite frank."

Anthony earlier said he wants to become a free agent when he can opt out of his contract next summer.
