GREENBURGH, NY — Carmelo Anthony sees the Knicks as a 50-win team that competes for the Eastern Conference title.
Amare Stoudemire believes there is similar potential, viewing New York as a rising team after so many years of dormancy.
There’s still building to be done. Though nobody knows for sure who will be doing it, the two All-Stars know of a couple of guys willing – maybe expecting – to help: themselves.
A day after New York’s best season in a decade ended with a first-round sweep, Anthony and Stoudemire both said they’ll seek input in putting together the pieces around them that are missing.
“I’m pretty sure this offseason there will be a lot of talk, a lot of communication, I hope it is, with me and the front office, with Amare and the front office,” Anthony said Monday. “As being the faces of this organization, we want to do everything we have to do, look at some pieces out there that we need to add.”
Anthony, who has been here only since his acquisition from Denver in a blockbuster trade in February, was asked if that meant he should have a role in personnel matters.
