The New York Knicks will trade Carmelo Anthony to the Oklahoma City Thunder, ESPN reports. In return, OKC will send the Knicks Enes Kanter, Doug McDermott and a second-round 2018 draft pick.
Anthony must waive his no-trade clause in order to make things official. Reports indicate that he will sign a a letter of authorization that will allow the trade. The trade call will likely take place on Monday.
Many players, including future OKC teammates for Anthony, Patrick Patterson and Paul George, shared their surprise and excitement over the news.
The report comes amid a dramatic day for the NBA. Early Saturday morning, President Donald Trump announced that he has withdrawn his White House visit invitation from Steph Curry and the Warriors. LeBron James has since responded to Trump, writing "U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain't going! So therefore ain't no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!" Kobe Bryant and Ayesha Curry have also shared thoughts on Trump's tweet. You can read more on that story here.
