Carmelo Anthony has informed Phil Jackson that he prefers to remain with the New York Knicks.

Anthony owns a full no-trade clause but Jackson hasn't given up on his preference to trade him.

"We've expressed the fact that we haven't been successful and it might be time for (Carmelo) to find an opportunity to go somewhere else. He's come back and said he'd just as soon stay," Jackson said 

The Knicks have an 80-166 record since Anthony re-signed in 2014.

"There'll be conversations after the draft and after the free agency as teams start reorganizing their rosters. So there will be other conversations in the process," he said.

Anthony would be agreeable to a trade to either the Los Angeles Clippers or Cleveland Cavaliers, but he has no incentive to approve a trade to any other team.
