ASS News » yesterday and the day before yesterday

Knicks President Phil Jackson was expecting a decision from Carmelo Anthony on Thursday. "But I expected one yesterday and the day before yesterday," Jackson said. "But no, were waiting." And hoping. Jackson said he was still expecting good news, although he said he hadnt heard from Anthony since meeting with him a week earlier. Speaking to reporters at the Knicks summer league practice in Las Vegas, Jackson said he has texted Anthony a couple of times since then, but hasnt gotten a response. But he felt confident about keeping the All-Star forward after their last discussion. "I felt really good about my conversation with Carmelo. We really struck a chord," Jackson said. "The two of us, I think feel really passionately about what were trying to get accomplished. Its his ability to stay, be patient, lead and watch us develop a winner." The Knicks offered Anthony a maximum level contract, worth nearly $130 million over five years, at their meeting in Los Angeles. Anthony had previously met with Chicago, Houston, Dallas and the Lakers. Jackson added that he had made perhaps five contract proposals to Anthony. He has said he hopes the NBAs leading scorer in 2012-13 would be open to taking less than the max to allow for more future spending flexibility. Jackson also confirmed that he had reached out to one of his former players, Pau Gasol. The Lakers star is a free agent and Jackson is interested, even while acknowledging the Knicks have far less money to offer than Gasol is worth. But Jackson is trying to pitch him on the value of being in New York, even noting the importance to the Spaniard of being in the same city as the United Nations. "He knows what he has here and what is possible and I think hed like to play with Carmelo and I think hed like to play for a winner," Jackson said. "And we cant guarantee that but with him, wed guarantee a much better chance." Tyler Lydon Jersey .
