From the minute the OKC Thunder made the trade to bring Carmelo Anthony to the OKC Thunder most of the TI staff weren’t optimistic. Sure, it was entertaining, especially with summer hoodie Melo all the rage and opining on the OK3. There were optimists who felt if Melo was willing to play the type of ball which made him the most decorated Olympic basketball team member it could pay dividends. Yet, ultimately, that’s all it was a fun exercise in what could have been.
