It seems like Carmelo Anthony reacted to the Knicks selecting Kristaps Porzingis with the number 4 pick like the rest of Knicks fans.
Yeah, not a great reaction. Reports are that Anthony wasn’t pleased with how team president Phil Jackson handled the night either. Frank Isola of the New York Daily News, reports Anthony called Tim Hardaway Jr, whom was traded to the Atlanta Hawks for 19th pick Jerain Grant, to explain his unhappiness. The veteran isn’t pleased with the pace of the team’s rebuild, which likely won’t be accelerated by Porzingis:
Carmelo, according to source, called Tim Hardaway Jr. late Thursday to express his displeasure with Phil Jackson’s draft night moves. Oh boy

After resigning with the Knicks for 5 years/124 million dollars last summer; Anthony was limited to only 40 games due to a knee injury and his days as an elite player are limited. Anthony’s frustration seem to be rooted in playing alongside a “project player” when he should be competing for a championship.
