Wow. This has been one of if not the most interesting off seasons of all time. Jimmy Butler to the Timberwolves, Paul George to the Thunder, Kyrie to the Celtics, and now this. My oh my, what a year to be an NBA fan.
Carmelo Anthony. A name that has been in trade rumors for a long time. The Rockets, the Clippers, the Trailblazers, the Cavs...
None of that was correct.
The Thunder, my Thunder, traded for him. Carmelo for Enes Kanter and Doug McDermot and a 2nd round pick in 2018. The Thunder are finesse gods right now. After trading an empty can of pringles for Paul George, the Thunder trade for 75 cents on the dollar for Carmelo Anthony.
He may not be the same player he was 2 years ago or have much defense, but he is still a good shooter that can average 22 points a game. He still is a superstar in my opinion and can create space for Russell Westbrook. He is the third option and that is fitting role for this point in his career and also can catch fire easily.
My record prediction for both teams are Knicks 34-48. The Thunder 63-19. I know in an earlier blog I said the Thunder would be 52-30 before Carmelo. That is wrong. Paul George is much better than six wins.
Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed.
