Something that’s been unofficial since last October is finally official: Carmelo Anthony will opt out of his contract with the New York Knicks and test free agency this summer. Despite Phil Jackson and the rest of the Big Apple hoping Melo would opt in and be patient with his new front office, it appears Anthony may have other plans.
