Carmelo Anthony Reportedly Unhappy With Tim Hardaway Jr. Trade and Kristaps Porzingis Pick
Hey, remember when Carmelo Anthony reportedly threatened to beat up Tim Hardaway Jr. last season? Water under the bridge, apparently!
Anthony is said to be upset with Phil Jackson and the New York Knicks for trading away his teammate Thursday night, and drafting European mystery man Kristaps Porzingis.
Knicks fans erupted in hilarious anger when the Porzingis pick was announced.
