Carmelo Anthony's new five-year contract with the New york Knicks is worth $124
million, $5 million less than the maximum, according to ESPN New york
sources.
Anthony's contract also includes a rare no-trade clause and has
an early termination option after the fourth year, according to league
sources.
Anthony first mentioned in February the possibility that he
would accept a contract worth less than the maximum in free agency.
The
Knicks hope to be able to attract top-level talent to New york in the summer of
2015, when players such as Rajon Rondo, Marc Gasol and Roy Hibbert may test the
market.http://www.nflok.com/
