Jackson's latest statements came after he said Anthony "would
be better off somewhere else" last month during a season-ending
exit interview.
"I think I expressed what I felt. I can't express it any
better," Jackson told reporters during the NBA combine.
"I thought it was well-said even if a lot of you didn't feel
that way.
"We'd just like for him to have success somewhere (else). But
the opportunity is narrowing."
Anthony, 32, would need to waive his no-trade clause in order to
be dealt to another team.
The Knicks have missed the playoffs the last four seasons with
their 10-time All Star Anthony.
"Hopefully we'll maybe be a playoff team next year," Jackson
said. "It would be tough to consider us possible champions.
We're not going to be there."
