Coach Brad Stevens would embrace coaching Anthony but Celtics president Ainge rejected any deal

The Knicks are trying to convince the Celtics to trade for Carmelo Anthony.
The Celtics already informed the Knicks they are not interested in Melo but New York would love to send Anthony to Boston.

Per Boston Globe, A source indicated that Knicks president Phil Jackson has instructed management to move Anthony, who has a no-trade clause but included the Celtics as one of the teams for whom he’d waive the clause. Boston could become part of a potential three-team deal that would send Anthony to another club, perhaps the Clippers.

An NBA source said Celtics coach Brad Stevens would embrace coaching Anthony, but president of basketball operations Danny Ainge has rejected any deal. That hasn’t stopped the Knicks from scouting Celtics players just in case Boston is willing to become part of a trade.
