The Nets re-signed Deron Williams and acquired Joe Johnson. The Sixers traded for Andrew Bynum. The Celtics lost Ray Allen but added Jason Terry. There’s no doubt that the Atlantic Division will have a decidedly different — and better — look this season.

“It is what it is,” Anthony said when asked about the division. “It makes it that much more fun. Brooklyn got better. Philly got better with Bynum. Boston is Boston. We’ll see what happens. We’re worrying about ourselves.”

To that end, Anthony was complimentary of Knicks GM Glen Grunwald’s offseason moves. The Knicks re-signed J.R. Smith and Steve Novak and brought in Raymond Felton, Jason Kidd, Marcus Camby, Ronnie Brewer and Kurt Thomas, among others.

“I’m excited about what we were able to do this offseason to put that team together, put a veteran team together,” Anthony said. “Guys that already know how to play the game, that have been through wars, that know how to win. So it’s just a matter of putting it all together.”
