The long awaited trade of Carmelo Anthony is complete as the OKC Thunder did what many thought was near impossible. That specifically was avoiding the necessity to buy out Anthony’s $27.9 million contract.
One after another the handful of teams with cap space made moves which rendered them incapable of being a trade destination. In the end the Atlanta Hawks stepped up the plate to facilitate the trade. Also involved in the trade are the Philadelphia 76ers.
Specifics:
Outgoing from OKC Thunder:
- Carmelo Anthony moves to Atlanta Hawks who will immediately buy out his contract.
