Trade Grades: OKC Ships Carmelo Anthony to Atlanta, Ends Big Three Experiment

The Thunder’s Big Three experiment is over, as OKC reportedly traded Carmelo Anthony to the Hawks on Thursday in exchange for Dennis Schroder. As part of the deal, Mike Muscala will go to the 76ers, while Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot will head to OKC and Justin Anderson will join the Hawks. The Thunder are also said to be sending Atlanta a protected 2022 first-round pick in the deal. The writing for Anthony’s departure has been on the wall since he opted into a $27.9 million contract for this year. Melo is expected to be bought out at his full salary and enter free agency.
