Carmelo Anthony is hoping for more roster continuity as the New York Knicks continue to work on finding the right formula.

Anthony, Kristaps Porzingis and Robin Lopez are likely to be returning starters.

Anthony has had over 70 teammates and four different head coaches since joining the Knicks in 2011.

"I think that's the most important part, just having some type of consistency, just a group of guys being together for a period of time and not just rotating in and out each year," said Anthony. "I think if we can establish that as a team, as an organization each year, you'll start seeing us taking steps forward. Guys feeling more confident and more comfortable in their game and us a team. I don't think guys can learn a system right away being here for a couple months and then rotate guys in and out. Guys need to be together for a long period of time in order for us to kind master the system."
