With a trade unlikely and camp approaching soon, Carmelo Anthony has engaged with some of his New York Knicks' teammates.

Anthony has followed the progress of Kristaps Porzingis, Willy Hernangomez and Mindaugas Kuzminskas as they play in EuroBasket. Anthony has sent texts of encouragement to each of the players.

Both the Knicks and Anthony would prefer to part ways this offseason but he has limited his list of approved teams he'd accept a trade to the Houston Rockets.
