SOUNDBITE: (English) Carmelo Anthony, New York Knicks:
"I still don't have all - or a lot of the details. Have I heard? Yeah I heard that he will be coming on board. It's not official yet. But you can always use Phil Jackson's mindset on whatever. His philosophy, his mindset, his resume, what he brings to the game, what he brings to a team or an organisation. That goes without even saying. So we'll see how that plays out. Is different now that he's in the front office rather than coaching - that's a big difference. So we'll see how that plays out."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Carmelo Anthony, New York Knicks:
"Oh yeah, you can't take for granted what he knows about the game of basketball. Whether he's on the sideline or in the front office. I'm pretty sure he will do his best to do what he has to do to build a championship here. A championship team here, put guys together. He knows how to put guys together, put a team together. Like I said, we'll see what happens. I haven't talked to him. I haven't talked to anybody in the front office about the plans or anything. When we sit down - until that time comes."
