The Boston Celtics expressed interest in trading for Carmelo Anthony before the deadline.

It's unclear if the talks ever reached an advanced stage, but the Celtics were told Anthony had no desire to leave the Knicks for Boston.

Anthony gave an interesting response recently when asked if another season without a berth in the playoffs would cause him to reconsider his future with the New York Knicks.

“Not yet. Not yet. Not yet," Anthony said. “I’m pretty sure I’ll have that conversation with myself, my family, my team [agents]. That’s not a conversation right now."

Several teams could be in position to trade for Anthony in the offseason due to the rising cap.
