To be fair, Anthony is averaging 18.9 shots per game and scoring 22.7 points per game.  Not saying that 1.2 points per shot is good or anything, but it isn't quite as extreme as made out to be either.  And for the record, that is more efficient than Bradley who is at just 1.18 points per shot this year or Horford (1.19) and of course Smart who is barely above 1.  Thomas is an elite scorer at 1.42 pps and Crowder isn't far behind at 1.35.  So of the top 5 scorers on Boston, Anthony would be behind 2 and better than 3 on the efficiency front.  I would expect he would be more efficient playing with a guy like Thomas as opposed to Rose, though who knows if that is really true.

I kind of think its written on the table that Melo will get traded after this season.

Not many star FA's to go after this summer, and they have to make a decision on Derrick Rose.

They aren't going anywhere with Carmelo and they would probably love to build around KP.

Maybe he doesn't leave within the next year but I think he could be dealt at next year's trade DEADLINE IF the Knicks continue being a middle of the pack team (5-7 seed in East).
