The deal is done. Carmelo Anthony, the longest-tenured New York Knick (by far!) is headed to Oklahoma City. The return of Enes Kanter, Doug McDermott and a second-round pick seems a poor prize. And it is! But ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski gives us a bit more info in his latest piece about the deal. It paints the picture of a Knicks front office desperate to avoid the kind of circus that was sure to following the Knicks through a training camp with Melo on the roster.
— Melo was not prepared to move to Portland.
