Carmelo Anthony, a 10-time NBA All-Star, has delivered the New York Knicks an expanded list of teams -- including the Cleveland Cavaliers -- with which he would be willing to waive his no-trade clause, league sources told ESPN.

After the Knicks insisted that they were unable to make a deal with the Houston Rockets, his primary trade destination, Anthony and his representatives honored New York's request and furnished at least two more teams within the past 10 days, league sources told ESPN.

Never felt more appropriate to use that gif.

DA GAWD!

Anthony has been urging the Knicks to show urgency in their pursuit of a trade before the season, league sources said. The Knicks made a preliminary call to the Cavaliers on Monday, but the two sides haven't exchanged trade ideas, league sources told ESPN. Cleveland has to weigh the fact that Anthony, with two years, $54 million left on his contract, could opt into the $27.9 million in the final year of his deal for 2018-'19 --- when LeBron James could be gone in free agency, and Cleveland may be embarking on a rebuild.

Looks like we may finally have an executive who knows exactly where his leverage is and plays it to the hilt.

Honestly I really think this presser was a negotiation tactic. They want teams to know they are seriously willing to move forward with Melo until they get what they want. They constantly talk about Melo in a sense that he would be here , Perry wouldn't even comment when someone asked if KP is ready to assume the leadership role if Melo were to be gone that was the most telling part.

Alright I know wishful thinking he gets traded before training camp.

You can't tell me that press conference didn't sound like they were trying build up whatever leverage and value Phil may have let go months back.

Looks like I was on to something huh

Was thinking the same thing. OKC would be fun to watch if he went there.

Too many, but well worth the wait so we don't take back **** Ryan Anderson's contract.

Lets see what actually happens. I have been burnt too many times by the Knicks to get my hopes up.

plus that's the team that fits him the most. it makes perfect sense

Shump, Frye, Jefferson, and Felder or Edy + Nets pick and I'm good. Or JR, Frye, and Jefferson + Nets pick. I want that damn pick.
