After recent one-on-one conversations with Carmelo Anthony, Peter Vecsey came away feeling that Anthony is unwilling to join the Nets.

Anthony reiterated that his primary consideration is winning.  But even as the Knicks struggle to a 3-7 start, Vecsey reports that the Knicks remain on -- if not at the top of -- Anthony's list of preferred destinations.

"I'm just like LeBron," Anthony said. "It's all about winning. That's all I care about. I want the chance to compete at the championship level. All the other stuff is irrelevant."
