In public and in private, Anthony's message has been the same: "My only concern is winning." Anthony has gone to great lengths to change his reputation as a selfish player who values his own personal statistics over winning. In fact, he's been the Knicks' most reliable and consistent player while constantly expressing frustration over the team's win-loss record. Moreover, Anthony still feels burned that he was singled out for being responsible for the Knicks' decision to part ways with Mike D'Antoni. Hence, Anthony wants to avoid being in the middle of another coaching mess and it's why Garden management must proceed with caution.
