(Carmelo) Anthony later said in a text message with Yahoo! Sports that it’s not his fault if the Knicks decline to match the offer sheet (for Jeremy Lin) by Tuesday’s 11:59 p.m. ET deadline.

“It’s up to ownership to match, not me,” Anthony said. “I’m tired of people trying to blame me for the fact that the Knicks might not match. I want everybody to get paid if they have the opportunity.”
