Carmelo Anthony said on Friday that his "first priority" is to re-sign with the New York Knicks in free agency.

Anthony will become an unrestricted free agent and has stated in the past that he wants to stay with the Knicks.

When asked whether he will consider taking less money from the Knicks to give the team extra salary flexibility, Anthony said, "Without a doubt."

The Knicks are 20-32 this season.
