THE KING AND I

Anthony’s trade list updated to include playing with good buddy LeBron Knicks again reach out to Cavs about Melo deal

Knicks still trying to unload Carmelo Anthony, perhaps to LeBron James (inset) and the Cavs, as awkward camp reunion is set for Monday.

report and added that Anthony is also open to playing for the OKC Thunder alongside reigning MVP Russell Westbrook and Paul George.

The Knicks and former team president Phil Jackson engaged the Cavaliers in talks for Anthony around last season’s trade deadline. However, Cleveland balked at including Kevin Love and, a source told the News, it remains unwilling to swap the 29-year-old for Anthony. It’s unclear what the Knicks are seeking for compensation this time around. The Cavaliers, who have a lot of uncertainty surrounding the franchise with LeBron entering free agency next summer, also have no interest in giving up the Brooklyn Nets’ 2018 first-round pick acquired in the deal for Kyrie Irving.

But if the Knicks are interested in first-round picks, the Thunder are in a worse position. After dealing multiple picks for George, OKC doesn’t have a first rounder to trade until 2024.

On Friday, the Knicks front office tandem of Steve Mills and Scott Perry said they expect Anthony to attend Media Day on Monday and the start of training camp on Tuesday.

Still, Mills and Perry both excluded Anthony from their State of the Knicks blogs on the team website. Perry said Friday he remains open to trading the Knicks’ lone All-Star.

“At the end of the day, what we set out and what we said if there was something there that made sense both for him and the Knicks organization, then we would strongly consider it,” Perry said.
