Carmelo conversations continue but deal proves elusive

NEW YORK - The New York Knicks and Houston Rockets are still trying to work out a deal involving Carmelo Anthony, though it may take some time - if it happens at all.

The teams continue to talk about a trade but no deal is imminent, said a source familiar with the situation. The source said Anthony has told the Knicks he would accept a move to the Rockets but the teams are still trying to find a trade that works for both sides.

The source spoke to Associated Press on Thursday on condition of anonymity because the talks between the teams remain private.
