Carmelo Anthony may nix trade behind family concerns

Carmelo Anthony said that all the options about his future are open. The Knicks are trying to trade him by the February’s deadline but he has to accept his next destination, considering that he has a no trade clause in his contract.
Carmelo Anthony is concerned about his family if he changes team and city.

Per Newsday, Anthony said he is concerned about the idea of taking his 9-year-old son Kiyan out of school and to a new environment.

“That’s more what I care about, my family,” Anthony said after Tuesday’s shootaround. “My son being comfortable in New York at an age now where he’s really getting an opportunity to understand being in New York and having a home there and having friends there. My wife working there and having her opportunities there. I think about that more so than my decision for my career.

“At the end of the day, it will come down to my decision. But I think more about my decision and what they’re going to have to go through if anything would happen.”
But Anthony said he hasn’t ruled out anything and that starts with remaining in a Knicks uniform.
“Of course. Of course,” he said. “I hear the new report every day. Every day is a new team. Every day is ‘Melo said this, Melo said that.’ Melo hasn’t said anything yet. That’s what I will say, Melo hasn’t said anything.”
