In breaking news, the Melo-Drama has come to an end. The New York Knicks have agreed in principle to trade Carmelo Anthony to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Knicks Get:
Enes Kanter
Doug McDermott
And a 2nd Round Pick
Thunder Get:
Carmelo Anthony
Melo, being 1 of only 3 players with a No-Trade Clause, must sign-off on the deal. According to league sources, the deal will be complete Monday morning.
Doug McDermott is entering the last year of his rookie contract ($3.3 Million). Kanter is under contract for this year ($20.56 Million) and has a player option for the 2018-2019 season ($18.6 Million).
The Thunder also acquired Paul George this offseason, so it’ll be interesting to see how these new additions meld with Russell Westbrook.
Stay tuned for more details and analysis of the trade once it’s official.
How do my Knicks fans feel?? Are you happy Melo has been traded??

Melo is a great offensive player but I never though melo was for NY … I always wanted a star who could dominate at both ends of the floor …
But why couldn’t we get a first round pick in this deal ?

Because Melo’s value has plummeted over he past few years. This is the best deal the Knocks could have gotten. Plus Melo has to approve any trade, making it more difficult to find the best possible deal….

Thank god. Now there’s some hope (which will be crushed by mid season).
