Carmelo Anthony, the New York Knicks’ long-time anchor who has been rumored to be on the move to the Houston Rockets for the past week, may have another suitor.
According to The Ringer’s Bill Simmons, Sam Presti may have a hand in the game:
Have a scoop - OKC and Carmelo are officially circling each other. OKC's Troy Weaver recruited Melo to Cuse + has known him since DMV days.

Given that Simmons’ assertion that Melo and Presti are doing the ol’ do-si-do a short while after it was all but a given that Anthony would be wearing Houston red in the near future, the fact that the Thunder may have moved into play is a surprise.
