At least one member of James Dolan's inner circle believes the Knicks should trade Carmelo Anthony for financial reasons.

MSG has seen a significant spike in ticket sales, ratings and merchandise since Jeremy Lin emerged in February.

The Knicks are 2-8 with Anthony back in the lineup.

According to a source, Dolan is not ready to give up on Anthony.

"He said he's not trading anyone," said the source, with direct contact with Dolan. "He said it's up to the coach to figure it out."
