Melo "Leaning" Toward Leaving the Knicks

Woj has reported that Carmelo Anthony is leaning toward leaving the Knicks.   To me this means they are telling him they don't want to give him the max, so he's leaking that he's leaning toward leaving.  Well, good luck getting paid if you do, Carmelo, because the Knicks should resist making any S&T deal unless it is remarkably favorable in terms of unprotected picks and young talent.   It's his egoic need to get wined and dined that is driving this latest Melo-Drama and the Knicks should just check out and play extreme hardball on any S&T.
