Carmelo Anthony just delivered the most nonsensical and simultaneously most wonderful quote of the entire NBA season. Gaze upon this string of words in awe.
Carmelo Anthony is now talking in circles about his future with the Knicks
His latest thoughts about his future in New York are all over the place.

Let’s walk through that, line by line.
I see the writing on the wall
This is a common expression that typically means something is coming to an end.
The writing ... yeah, I see it on the wall.
A common expression that typically means something is coming to an end ... this is.
You don’t know what writing is on the wall, though
Melo, man, if you want to say you can see the writing on the wall, then say it, don’t tone it down out of nowhere with this nonsense quote. Anthony used these three phrases when he could have just said, “I don’t know what will happen.”
Still, I am all for athletes not being stereotypical, and so I love this answer so much. Here’s a couple more questions he answered, via Mike Vorkunov.
Scottie Pippen said he feels bad for you, and Phil is the reason for the struggles. Your thoughts about that?
No. I think in this situation everybody has an opinion. I think the fact that, for one, we’re here in New York — one of biggest markets in the world — and we are the talk of the market. Everybody has their opinion. I’m just glad people are speaking up, whether it’s good or bad, people are speaking up, having their own opinion ,rather than me trying to convince or not convince people of the situation or what’s going on and I could play basketball. Everyone else sees what’s going on so they’re going to have an opinion.
Looking forward to the final meeting (with Phil) at the end of the season?
Pretty sure the chips will be on the table. The chips will be on the table in that meeting. Honestly, I don’t know what to expect but I got a good feeling.
You got a good feeling?
Yeah. The chips will be on the table.
Anthony has one year left next season at $26.2 million and a fifth-year, $27.9 million player option. New York expected to make a playoff push this season and failed drastically, but they do have a young prospect who could potentially lead their franchise in Kristaps Porzingis. If the Knicks had the chance to move Anthony, who does have a no-trade clause, it would make sense.
Certainly, though, nothing is certain or expected with the Knicks. We shall see how it shakes out.
