Knicks' Phil Jackson says Carmelo Anthony 'will be better off somewhere else'

New York Knicks president Phil Jackson finally met with the media Friday, and he made it clear where he stands on star forward Carmelo Anthony. Asked directly whether he wanted Anthony back next season, Jackson implied the answer is no. 
"We have not been able to win with him on the court at this time," Jackson told reporters. "And I think the direction with our team is that he is a player that will be better off somewhere else and using his talent somewhere where he can win or chase that championship. Right now we need players that are really active, can play every single play defensively and offensively. That's really important for us."
