The New York Knicks fired coach Derek Fisher Feb. 9 after the team lost its fifth straight game and nine of it's past 10, which has the team shaken up, according to ESPN.
"It's an unfortunate situation that I've been a part of multiple times through my career," Anthony said. "You become kind of immune to it at this point and understand that this is part of the business. This is the bad part of the business."
The Knicks are approaching the five year anniversary of Carmelo Anthony’s trade to the Knicks. The Nets were hoping to grab Melo, but fell short in the end, ultimately leaving Melo to the Knicks.
It can be noted that the rivalry between the two teams is like none other. In 2013, NBA commissioner arranged a meeting between the owners of the New York Knicks and the Brooklyn Nets, James Dolan and Mikhail Prokhorov, to lessen the tension between the two teams, according to the New York Post.
