Raymond Felton is tired of the Carmelo Anthony rumors and said Friday night that the speculation is New York's problem.

"That's the problem right now," Felton said after the Knicks lost to the Lakers at home. "It's just that it's being talked about too much."

The Knicks have lost eight of their 12 games since they became the front-runner to land Anthony when the Nets pulled out of talks with the Nuggets.

"I don't know that," Donnie Walsh said when asked if the rumors were an issue. "But it appears to be with some guys. But I know this: That you gotta get used to it. It's a young team. They haven't been through that."
