When the New York Knicks acquired all-star Carmelo Anthony in a blockbuster trade in 2011, Knick fans thought they could be a championship caliber team again. Knick fans didn’t expect the franchise to miss the playoffs for three consecutive years and be under .500 this season. Anthony has been one of the people to blame for the Knicks’ struggles, and could potentially be gone from New York after some comments he made following a loss Sunday.

According to Frank Isola of the New York Daily News, Anthony hasn’t thought about leaving the Knicks, but is willing to talk about his future with the team. “I haven’t thought once about that to be honest with you,” Anthony said when asked about waiving his no trade clause. “If they feel like my time in New York is over I guess that’s a conversation we should have.”

Anthony is in the third year of five year, 124-million-dollar deal, and based on his season and the Knicks’ season, it is time to leave the team.

Anthony turns 33 in May, and is averaging career lows in minutes, points per game, and field goal percentage according to Basketball Reference. It’s time for Anthony to move on for the Knicks and chase a championship which has eluded him throughout his career. The furthest the Knicks have gone in Anthony’s tenure with the team was the second round of the playoffs. Again, he’s only getting older, so the chances of Anthony bringing a championship to New York are close to impossible.

A parting of ways between Anthony and the team can help both sides be more successful down the line. Anthony can have opportunities to win a championship and the Knicks can rebuild around 21-year-old Kristaps Porzingis who has the potential to be star caliber player. The longer Anthony is with the team, longer it will take for the Knicks to be a great team again.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
