Carmelo Anthony reached out to Pau Gasol to discuss the possibility of playing together for the New York Knicks.
Anthony met with the Los Angeles Lakers earlier on Thursday.
The Knicks are growing increasingly confident that Anthony will agree to re-sign with the club.
The Knicks can pay Gasol only the taxpayer's exception starting at $3.28 million annually.
Anthony is expected to take the weekend to make his decision, sources said, but the process is forever fluid.
