Carmelo Anthony and Phil Jackson haven't spoken since the start of free agency.

Jackson said he isn't concerned whether Anthony is happy with the direction of the New York Knicks.

“Well, you know, we’re a team sport,” Jackson said. “When we’re putting a team together that’s our first priority; how do we make a team that works together? That’s the important aspect. How this all comes together is still a mystery for us. We’ve got five months to kinda get into it here.

“Obviously Carmelo is a guy that is a premier player, we understand that. But it’s a team game. And it has to fit together.”

Anthony is skeptical of the Knicks' slow rebuilding plan, according to a source. Anthony repeatedly said last offseason that he "believes in Phil."
