Teammates work out with Melo in Puerto Rico: Some New York Knicks have joined Anthony in Puerto Rico this week during the forward's annual charity weekend at the island.

New Knick Kevin Seraphin posted a photo from Puerto Rico that included himself, Anthony, Porzingis, Lance Thomas, Cleanthony Early, Lou Amundson, Jerian Grant, and player development staff employees Chris Brickley and Mubarak Malik.

Anthony had said in years past that he wanted to get some players together for workouts in Puerto Rico. The Knicks will also likely schedule workouts before training camp at the team's facility in Westchester.

Here is a photo of the players in Puerto Rico, courtesy of Seraphin's Twitter account.

Big question - WHERE'S THE OTHER HALF OF THE TEAM??? This is clearly part of Melo's "divide and conquer" strategy.
TPercy @ 8/20/2015 6:14 PM
Thats nice. Makes much more sense doing this than showing up at SL to see only 4 guys who realistically had a shot of making the team.

They look happy to be there, good way to get on the same page.

only new fans can turn this into a negative. lol. hey im not the biggest melo fan but ill give credit to where its due. he invited some teammates to practice with (maybe the others didn't show because they had prior engagements).I like the fact that the young knicks are there too. melo isnt known for his leadership but he acted like a leader on this occasion.

Here's hoping this help them get into rhythm early so they can get some wins while other teams are still trying to figure it out

Exactly.....that is leadership.

Oh don't worry, the "true knick fans" will be here quickly to dispel any notion of this being some sort of display of ME70'$ leadership qualities.

I can't wait to read what Lin would have done...or Gallo...or Marbury...or...

Is this a purely spite, positive post?

1) spite is not part of my emotional makeup.
2) i root for my team even when i know they give me reason to be pessimistic.
3) they will win between 29 and 42 games.

At least once or twice a year, you manage to restore my hope in humanity.

Nice. Funny, the Leadership 101 thread was 13 pages long. This doesn't look like it will make it to a second page.

Hope Grant's wrist is ok. Hadn't heard anything about an injury but it looks to be pretty heavily taped.

The worst anyone should claim from this is indifference. Melo has been asked to be a leader and this is a positive step. It's not worth criticism. You can say too little too late, but I say "sounds good"

On a side note, Seraphin seems pumped up about being a Knick.
