Carmelo Anthony lands in Los Angeles

New York needs room to accept these two players from the Thunder.

Therefore, Anthony heads to LA since Griffin went to OKC, while Abrines and Lauvergne were dealt to the Knicks replacing Anthony.

Carmelo Anthony has been open about his contract and time with the Knicks. He’d prefer to stay, but if the organization wants him gone he will leave.

He does have a no- trade clause which he can opt out of and sign anywhere by the trade deadline if he is not traded.

Anthony is not as high flying as he once was, but he has a high basketball IQ and savvy play-making abilities.

He will be able to help with the pace of the game LA wants to play and improve teammates around him. Also he would help improve their game and defensively he still he has it and what a better way to have a chance for a ring than head to LA.
