Carmelo Anthony Insists He Does Not Want a Trade GREENBURGH, N.Y. - Carmelo Anthony, the only Knicks player dressed in black practice gear, shot down rumors that he wanted to be traded at the team's practice Wednesday morning. Let's nip this in the bud right now," he said, before adding a fifth and final no. I don't know where that came from. I'm tired of hearing it," Anthony said. It came out this morning from, I guess, an anonymous source. I'm tired of anonymous sources. I don't want to be traded. I don't know where that foolishness came from. So let's put a cap on that and make this the last time I hear about that. Anthony played down the Knicks" recent six-game losing streak, admitting it was frustrating but calling it "a little adversity" and "a little bump in the road." Anthony said he gave his support to Knicks Coach Mike D'Antoni, refuting reports that he wanted D'Antoni fired after last year's playoff loss to the Boston Celtics. "I do hear it, I do read it," he said of the rumors. It gets frustrating at times to hear some of the stuff that's being said about me. "I was getting texts from guys on the team, about: "What is this?" What are we hearing? You know, we don't want you to go nowhere. Why this is being said? Why this? Why that?" " His teammates who spoke Wednesday morning all came to his defense. "I don't think that's true at all," Amar'e Stoudemire said of Anthony's reported desire to be traded. I know Melo loves the city of New York. I know he loves playing for the Knicks. So I don't think that's true at all.
