Carmelo Anthony would like to take a more active role in the New York Knicks' free agency meetings this offseason.

“Put me at the head of the (meeting) table,” Anthony said. “And let’s go to work.”

Anthony would like the Knicks to pursue Rajon Rondo, who doesn't view himself as a good fit in the triangle offense.

“I think Rondo — just me personally, I don’t want to be tampering — but I’ve heard he said he wouldn’t thrive in a system like this,” Anthony said. “I think he’d be perfect in a system like this.”

Anthony refuted the notion that Rondo's penetration and lack of shooting would be a bad fit in the triangle.

“It is a misconception about that. Some of the keys of our offense is penetration, getting in the paint,” Anthony said. “Pushing the pace, transition. Creating in the paint for bigs, for yourself, everybody else. I think a point guard would love that. Especially a point guard who can penetrate, create for yourself, create for others. I think it’s a perfect opportunity for him.”

 

The Knicks will have significant cap space.

“I don’t really have a choice. If we want this team to be better, if we want more pieces of this team, I don’t have a choice but to go out there and do my job and try to get people to come,” he said. “And for them to see it from my perspective than anybody else’s perspective. See it from a player’s perspective.”
