Carmelo Anthony was very busy on social media last night. In addition to posting some vague quote on Twitter, Anthony went through his mentions on Instagram to respond to his haters and doubters. In the midst of it all, Melo also took the opportunity to talk about the New York Knicks taking Kristaps Porzingis with the fourth overall pick in this year's draft. Forget everything you have heard about the 31-year-old being upset about the decision, Carmelo is singing a completely different tune. 

At this point, all Knicks fans can do is hope that Anthony is right about his assessment of Porzingis because there's only so much grief the heart can take.
