'When I got to Denver, they started to rebuild. But they didn't tell me. They told him they started to rebuild the roster. I'm like, "Okay, they were not about to, we just went to the West Conference Finals. We won two possessions away from winning the championship." Yeah. I do think we've got Orlando out of there that year. Yeah. Yeah. So, we are two possessions away from winning the championship, right? So, I break that up. So, now all that start to transpire in Denver. And I say, "Look, if y'all going to rebuild, let's work on this together and let's find it. Let's get a place,' Anthony said. Unaware, but excited, Anthony felt New York was his best option. He then said, " They came to me and said, "What places do you want?"

A lot of the guys lived out in, you know, up, you know, upstate more Westchester areas.' He added, ' I'm like, "No, I'm moving to the city. Like, I'm embracing this." You know what I'm saying? And as a player, it was a challenge for me. I'm like, "All right, cool. I'm down with this challenge." Like, I'm not shying away from trying to be my best self, you know, and to make my teammates better and try to build something here. He added, 'And we started out solid like 500. Yeah.
