But when would he choose to have the surgery? The question for Knicks fans is not a fun to contemplate an answer to. Anthony has been the lone bright spot for the Knicks faithful as they struggle off to a 4-19 start in their first season under Phil Jackson’s leadership as President of basketball operations.

So the logical thing for his future may be to allow the ailing star to get surgery and miss the season. Anthony seems to already be at odds with how the offense is ran in New York this season and could easily decide that it is too late to make anything of this year and choose to take the proactive approach and opt for surgery now.

Carmelo Anthony is quoted in the piece by Isola as saying:

"“At this point, it’s evaluating and seeing. Some days are better than others. It’s a matter if I want to continue to play on it and the pain threshold. The flip side to that is we are losing games. I hate it, I hate to sit on the sidelines and watch my teammates.”"

Anthony who the Knicks just invested 125 million dollars in over 5 years should probably look to do the best thing for his future which could be getting this taken care of now and hoping that Jackson can work his magic and bring in some talent to help the Knicks compete next year.
