Carmelo Anthony 'happy' that Knicks, Klutch Sports patched things up
Knicks president Leon Rose, Anthony’s former agent, met with Klutch head Rich Paul earlier this month in New York to hash out their frosty relationship, as The Post first reported. “Relationships are important … and that was the best relationship at one point in time,” Anthony said this week on the “7PM in Brooklyn” podcast. “And then it gets completely f—ed up, dismantled. So this is years and years and years and years of people having to pick sides, and ‘I can’t talk to this person’ … because everybody’s in the same circle. So now to patch that energy up and come to peace, like, we’re men now and gonna figure this out. … You have to, because no matter what, you need New York. “

More on this storyline
“You can’t go around New York. You can try to, but you gotta come back here. Especially when you’re in certain industries. When you’re in music, when you’re in f—ing sports, you gotta come through New York. So when you don’t have no relationship with the Knicks, you ain’t got no relationship around. Your relationship game ain’t strong around the NBA. “So I’m happy, that’s honorable that those parties came together and settled their differences, because it’s gonna benefit everybody in the industry.” -via New York Post / February 25, 2024

One person who is impressed with what he’s seen from Leon Rose so far is none other than Knicks legend Carmelo Anthony, who recently took to his 7PM in Brooklyn podcast, presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment, to heap lofty praise on the executive. “What Leon did with the Knicks is impressive…He came in…ship was sinking…sunk…He wiped all that s**t out––front office, players…cleaned house. Imma bring in a cultural guy: [Tom Thibodeau]…hold you accountable…ain’t gonna get no sleep…Now you get to mold your team the way that you want…build the pieces…draft picks…players Thibs really trusts…” said Anthony, per New York Basketball on X, the social media platform formerly referred to as Twitter. -via Clutch Points / February 22, 2024
