Kuzma added that James was hardly the only player he had looked up to growing up. Kuzma also doesn’t count James as his only idol. “I had a lot,” he says. “Kobe. Melo. Bron. MJ. Shaq.”

Free agent Nick ‘Swaggy P” Young was among the veterans to play in the Knicks’ informal scrimmages in the weeks leading up to training camp. “He can still play,” Fizdale said. “He’s Swaggy P.” New Net Lance Thomas and Carmelo Anthony also attended the workouts. When asked how Anthony looked in the scrimmages, RJ Barrett said, “He was good, he was good. I mean it’s Carmelo Anthony, come on.”
Kanter has had a lot of good days in the NBA, which makes it a tad surprising he’s on his fifth team. As a starter in his career, he’s averaged 15.0 points (on 54.6 percent shooting) and 9.9 rebounds in just 28.4 minutes. “I actually asked the Utah Jazz to trade me, and they traded me to Oklahoma City,” Kanter said, explaining his first change of NBA address. “Then I got traded to the Knicks. Oklahoma City, they wanted Melo. Hey, they wanted Melo. They got what they wanted. Then with the Knicks, I wanted to leave that one.”
Stefan Bondy: Steve Mills says he let Carmelo work out at the facility in the summer and wishes him well. Doesn’t sound like Melo is an option for New York.
Mike Vorkunov: Mills says Carmelo Anthony and Lance Thomas called over the summer to come and work out and Mills says Knicks usually let that happen with former players. “We wish Carmelo the best,” he said.
