And Knicks owner James Dolan loves Anthony just enough to write that monstrous buyout check, almost as a favor. (It would also clear all sorts of salary-cap space, benefiting the Knicks, too.)”
It’s highly likely that Anthony will be moved prior to this upcoming season’s start. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Knicks do not envision Tim Hardaway Jr. and Anthony starting the season together.
