Carmelo Anthony is leaning strongly towards waiving his no-trade clause this offseason.

Anthony said on Wednesday night that he'd "love" to be back, but wants assurances that the Knicks are committed to winning.

Anthony admitted publicly to considering waiving his no-trade clause before this year's deadline.

While Anthony and Phil Jackson have seemed to be at odds, there was also an incident involving Jeff Hornacek. During halftime of a game in March, Hornacek yelled at the Knicks, which triggered a response from Anthony.

Anthony essentially questioned the direction of the entire organization, according to sources. Associate head coach Kurt Rambis fired back, calling out Anthony's effort on defense.
