“We’ve had several conversation with Carmelo’s representation,” Presti said. “I wish I could tell you a whole lot has changed since the end of the season, but we are still in June and the season doesn’t start until October. We will continue to have that dialogue going forward, but I can’t speak to what he is going to do with the early termination option.”
