NBA Note - Oklahoma City Thunder Anthony, Carmelo

Sep 29, 2017 - 8:37 AM F Carmelo Anthony said Thursday that potential trades involving the New York Knicks with both the Cleveland Cavaliers and Houston Rockets fell through at the last minute before he ended up with the Oklahoma City Thunder. "A deal was done with Houston early, then for some reason, whatever happened behind the scenes, it didn't go through," the 33-year-old Anthony told SiriusXM Radio. "It fell through, then we had to really start paying attention and thinking about other options." Anthony was sent to Oklahoma City for center Enes Kanter, forward Doug McDermott and the Chicago Bulls' 2018 second-round draft pick from the Thunder. The 6-foot-8, 240-pound Anthony, a 10-time All-Star and 14-year NBA veteran, joined the Thunder having appeared in 976 career games (all starts) while averaging 24.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.1 steals.
