NEW ORLEANS -- Carmelo Anthony said Friday he knows "for a fact" the Knicks wont trade him, and said he would be open to staying in New York for less than a maximum contract. Anthony has said he plans to become a free agent this summer. The NBAs trade deadline is Thursday, but Anthony ruled out any chance the Knicks would move him to avoid the possibility they could lose him for nothing in July. "I know for a fact Im not being traded," Anthony said at the NBAs All-Star weekend. "Theres two things: I know for a fact Im not being traded and Im not going in there and saying I want to be traded." New York can pay him around $30 million more than any team, but Anthony said he wouldnt insist on making the Knicks do it. "As far as the money, it dont really matter to me. If I go somewhere else I get paid, if I stay in New York I get paid," Anthony said. "So as far as the money goes, thats not my concern. My concern is being able to compete on a high level, at a championship level coming at this last stretch of my career." The Knicks arent doing it now. They are 20-32, one of the leagues biggest disappointments after winning the Atlantic Division last season, and are wasting a strong season by Anthony that has him ranked second in the league with 27.3 points per game while also averaging 8.6 rebounds. The Knicks need plenty more, and it will be tough to get because they are already so far over the salary cap. Not having to pay Anthony all of the more than $120 million he would be eligible for could help. "I talk to people all the time. I always say if it takes me taking a pay cut, Ill be the first one on Mr. Dolans step saying, Take my money, lets build something stronger," Anthony said, referring to Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan. Anthony was traded to New York just after the All-Star game three years ago and has reached the playoffs in each season. But they are currently out of the playoff picture even in the weak Eastern Conference, and Anthony will have to decide if he feels they can put a championship team around him as he approaches his 30th birthday. "He makes really good decisions and I feel this decision for him will be no different," said the Clippers Chris Paul, one of Anthonys closest friends in the league. "I know he loves it there. His family loves it there. Most of all, he loves to play basketball there. I dont know what his decision will be, but whatever he does, Ill support him 110 per cent." Adidas Superstar Schwarz.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Madison Bumgarner pitched himself into the San Francisco record book, took a share of the major league lead for wins and, most important to the soft-spoken southpaw, moved his team one step closer in an NL West race that could go down to the wire. Bumgarner struck out eight on the way to his 18th victory, and the Giants moved within one game of NL West-leading Los Angeles by beating the Dodgers 9-0 on Friday night. "Its not hard to get up for the Dodgers series, especially the circumstances were in," Bumgarner said. "The offence did an unbelievable job and kept scoring runs." Pinch-hitter Travis Ishikawa splashed a three-run homer into McCovey Cove, and Brandon Crawford hit a two-run drive in the fifth to help Bumgarner win his fifth straight start. Buster Posey and Crawford hit RBI doubles in the first as the Giants jumped on Hyun-Jin Ryu (14-7). The Dodgers left-hander exited after only one inning because of irritation in his pitching shoulder. He said its similar to the problem he dealt with in May that landed him on the disabled list, raising doubt whether he will pitch again this season. Ryu will be re-examined Saturday in the Bay Area. "Im staying positive. I felt this before in the past, so hopefully it will be the same time that it took to recover from that," Ryu said through a translator. "I think it was a week or two." San Francisco, which leads the NL wild-card race, is one game back of Los Angeles for the first time since Aug. 4. The Giants have won a season-best 10 straight home games after handing the Dodgers their fifth shutout loss. This group has its swagger back at home. "Its as good as it can be. Its been that way for a while now," Bumgarner said. "Weve got a lot of guys who have been here and done this before." Bumgarner (18-9) reached 200 strikeouts for the first time in his career when he fanned Scott Van Slyke in the second. The lefty is tied with Dodgers Sunday starter Clayton Kershaw, Cincinnatis Johnny Cueto and the Cardinals Adam Wainwright for most wins in the majors. Los Angeles lined up its top starters for this series, while Giants manager Bruce Bochy opted to keep his pitchers on their regular schedule because thinggs have been working well so far in September.dddddddddddd "Its for first place. Were a game behind them," Crawford said. "We know the stakes." The Dodgers had the best road record in baseball and swept the Giants in three games at AT&T Park from July 25-27 -- outscoring San Francisco 17-4. "Its live theatre every night, we just dont know the ending here," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said before the game. Posey hit an RBI double in the first that sent the orange towel-twirling fans into a frenzy. Hunter Pence followed with a run-scoring single, then Joaquin Arias added an RBI single. San Franciscos home winning streak is its longest since an 11-game run from July 7-25, 2003, which is the best in the 15-year history of AT&T Park. The shutout matched the Giants largest at home against the Dodgers since moving to San Francisco in 1958. The Giants also beat Los Angeles 9-0 on June 25, 1968. Bumgarner needs two wins over his final three starts to become the Giants first 20-game winner since John Burkett (22) and Bill Swift (21) in 1993. Bumgarner has 207 strikeouts, most in a season by a San Francisco left-hander. Ishikawas second career pinch-hit homer was the 102nd into the water and 67th by a San Francisco hitter. "Its a big series," Bochy said. "Any time you can jump ahead, its huge for the club."
