All-Star Weekend never used to be the highlight of Carmelo Anthony’s season. But with the Knicks on the verge of missing the playoffs for a third straight year, this event has become Anthony’s lone big stage and he did not sound happy about it – not at all. Anthony’s mood turned sharp when he was asked about the prospect of the Knicks missing the playoffs for a third straight season. He made the playoffs in his first 10 seasons – eight of them in Denver. “That doesn’t sit well with me,’’ Anthony said Friday during an All-Star Weekend press conference at a hotel in downtown Toronto. “To reflect a little about that, it’s tough. To think about that, to know that it can be three years if we don’t pick it up right away. I try not to think about it right now. In actuality, you have to start thinking about that eventually.’’ Asked would he have to also think about his Knicks future, Anthony, who has a no-trade clause, gave an interesting response. “Not yet. Not yet. Not yet,’’ Anthony said. “I’m pretty sure I’ll have that conversation with myself, my family, my team [agents]. That’s not a conversation right now.’’ That seemed a little different view than his training-camp message: “I’m here to stay.’’ The Post reported in December 2014, Anthony was mulling whether he would waive his no-trade clause. Anthony later admitted he was “second-guessing’’ his re-signing until a dinner the following month with Phil Jackson in London. There was also an interesting exchange when the Zen Master’s name was raised. Jackson said Monday he wanted Anthony to play in the All-Star Game despite laboring with a sore left knee, saying the two had spoken about it. - See more at: http://nypost.com/2016/02/12/carmelo-anthony-almost-ready-to-re-think-knicks-future/
