Is Carmelo Anthony willing to hold out for his first choice?

According to a report from Tommy Dee of TheKnicksBlog.com, Anthony wants to play in New York and the current negotiations over a new collective bargaining agreement do not concern him enough to change course and commit to another team.

"Again, I maintain based on strong information that Melo will not sign an extension with any other team than the Knicks," writes Dee.  "He?s confident that he'll get paid CBA or not. Right or wrong that seems to be his stance at this point in time."
