The drama unfolding around Carmelo Anthony and the Knicks seems to be a daily thing full of twists and turns. The latest bit of random info to leak comes by way of Rajon Rondo’s old high school basketball coach. During an interview with USA Today about Rondo’s ACL rehab, coach Steve Smith interestingly mentioned that Carmelo Anthony has been recruiting Rajon to come to New York.
This is major news seeing how just this week ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith basically said Melo is absolutely on his way out of NY. With all the contradicting reports surfacing it is hard to guage what will really happen, but we know the Celtics have been possibly looking at moving Rondo at some point. Could the Knicks move in on that opportunity?
Check out the full quote from Rajon Rondo’s HS coach after the jump.

SS: No, I think he should be fine. He took a long time off and he’s rehabbed the right way. Whether he stays in Boston or not who knows. I know, talking to Melo , he’s recruiting Rajon to come to New York. Melo thinks he’ll come, too. You never know about that stuff though. I think either way, Rajon will be fine.
