Phil Jackson met with Carmelo Anthony within the past three days to discuss the state of the New York Knicks.

Jackson described Anthony as "engaged."

“We went through all the things,” Jackson said. “He sees the potential that we have. He asked questions about where we’re going. I’ve told him all the details. Sometimes you have to solicit things out of Carmelo. In my conversation I didn’t. He came out and asked questions. He’s engaged and that’s important.”

Jackson added how Anthony controls his future with his no-trade clause.
