Carmelo Anthony said he doesn't know where he'll be traded and expressed concern about getting a contract extension signed before the new collective bargaining agreement is in place.

"At this point, I really don’t know," Anthony said about where he thinks he'll end up.

"New Jersey took that deal off the table. In order for me to consider them, I’d have to agree to the meeting. Now, it’s washed under the table," he continued.

He was asked if the options are strictly New Jersey, New York, Chicago and Denver.

"Yeah. But I really can’t say it’s just those, because I don’t really know (what could happen)," Anthony replied.

Said the writer to Anthony, "If they trade you somewhere, and you don’t sign the extension, you’re screwed."  Then the writer quickly hedged by adding, "Well, not necessarily screwed."  But Anthony agreed with the original assertion, smiling and repeating, "Screwed."

"There are a lot of things that come into play when you look at this situation," Anthony said.  "The fact that they can send you wherever they want to. The fact that, wherever they send me, would I sign the extension there? It’s a lot of stuff I think about through all of this."

"I haven’t had any dialogue with (team executive) Masai (Ujiri) or anybody like that," Anthony said. "Usually I talk to Masai, but a lot of stuff has died down. I’m pretty sure they’ve been behind closed doors, doing what they do. But I haven’t talked to them personally."
