Phil Jackson confirmed in his end of season press conference that the New York Knicks will begin rebuilding again.
Jackson also talked about the possibility of trading away Carmelo Anthony.
"We've not been able to win with him on the court," said Jackson. "I think the direction with our team is that (Carmelo) would be better off somewhere else."
Jackson said he met with Anthony and that it was a cordial conversation.
Anthony has a full no-trade clause which means the Knicks will need his approval to execute any trade. Jackson said they had "an indication of teams" that Anthony would be amenable to joining.
"That’s a big hole to fill," said Jackson when asked about what they would seek in exchange for Anthony. "We want a significant player that can hopefully fill that role."
Anthony presumably responded to Jackson's press conference later on Instagram.
