The Knicks have agreed to trade Carmelo Anthony to the Thunder in exchange for Enes Kanter, Doug McDermott and a second-round pick, reports ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The trade call, which formally submits the deal to the league office, is expected to happen on Monday.


Spurs, Warriors, and Rockets will all still be better

I hope that's the common sentiment. Tired of the excuses for Russ last season

I'm just trolling. They are probably closest to Spurs, but I don't value Melo's game like I used to at this point in his career.

Maybe they get a first round series win if everything falls into pace for them. All Carmelo could command was Dougie, Enes Canter and a Bulls 2nd round pick.

I guess the plan is for Stephen Adams and Roberson to defend everybody

Paul George is a very good defender.

Watch out world. Anthony as a 3rd option Stretch 4. Game changing moves by the Best GM in the game.

He's good when he wants to be. The last time he wanted to be was 2013.

The same GM who traded Harden for pennies on the dollar when he didn't have to?

Got to give credit to OKC. They basically turned Cameron Payne, Joffrey LaVergne, and Anthony Morrow into Carmelo Anthony.

He has proven the one man band will get him accolades and nothing else. 6th seed at best. They will be the #2 seed in the West due to these 2 moves. Watch out world.

:lol:

You can't keep saying "watch out world" and then still predict them to not even win their conference.

That's their ceiling, but I could see them reaching it. The only thing in their way is a one man Kawhi team and a team built around James Harden and Chris Paul, not exactly playoff legends.

McDermott is the Streets and Sanitation truck that you place it in then. Guess they get a draft too also. Kanter is better than Lance whom you like.

LTG says trade return determines how good you are. Carmelo is trash. Kanter, McDermott and a 2nd rounder? Ouch.

Future Hall of Famer. Once traded for 5 legitimate players. Nothing to prove. Back 9 of his career. When he was Butler's age he commanded a major haul.

Ya Westbrook will be like fuck this guy he sucks, triple double time.

I noticed KD is starting shit now w/ the Thunder and Curry. It'll be interesting if they'll be a happy family this year. I think KD will try to make it his team this year and fuck everything up for them.

If they can revolutionize the 2-ball offense put me down for this team winning multiple championships!

Btw doesn't nas refer to carmelo as "marshmelo" or something? Surely that has to factor in here.... You know, as nice as Paul George and carmelo are compared to [replacement level players] they're still not anywhere near as !!!!!!OMFG!!!!!! as @kdtrey5 tbh.

Does anyone [still pretend it's 200X] and have melo around their top-5? Certainly not *IN* their top-5 anymore, riiiight? Top 10? Top 15? Would you take Melo over Jimmy Butler?
